President Trump announced that Israel and Hamas have agreed to the first phase of a Gaza ceasefire, claiming that all hostages will be released soon and Israeli troops will withdraw to an agreed line. While Israel’s cabinet is expected to approve the deal, far-right ministers have voiced opposition but stopped short of leaving Netanyahu’s coalition.
Yet, even as Palestinians celebrated news of the ceasefire by word of mouth—amid a total communications blackout—Israeli attacks continued. Gaza’s Health Ministry reported 10 more deaths and nearly 50 injuries in the past 24 hours, including aid seekers. One resident, Hussein Shaladan, described the devastation: families wiped out, limbs lost, and homes reduced to rubble.In contrast to Washington’s silence, Spain has imposed a permanent arms embargo on Israel, and massive protests continue across the Netherlands, where hundreds of thousands are demanding an end to support for Israel’s war on Gaza.
This fragile moment calls for moral courage: peace cannot begin while bombs still fall.
