Israeli historian Ilan Pappé reminds us that despite the newly declared ceasefire in Gaza, Israel’s policy toward Palestinians remains one of elimination and domination. As Pappé notes, “nothing has changed in the dehumanization and the attitude of this Israeli government and its belief that it has the power to wipe out Palestine as a nation, as a people and as a country.”
While world leaders celebrate the temporary halt in bombing and the exchange of prisoners, Israel continues to expand settlements, suppress Palestinian celebrations, and block reconstruction. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, facing corruption charges and an International Criminal Court arrest warrant, still clings to power through division and war. Pappé warns that such leadership, aided by U.S. and European complicity, poses a grave threat not only to Palestinians but to the very notion of justice and humanity.The world must move beyond hollow peace summits and act decisively to protect Palestinians from ethnic cleansing and genocide — because ceasefire without accountability is no peace at all.
