Gaza ceasefire is only a respite - it's not over

PRESIDENT Trump has proclaimed Peace in the Middle East and the end of the violence against the people of Gaza.

Why, then, did 600,000 people march through London last weekend calling for Freedom for Palestine? We've won, haven't we?

No! This ceasefire is a respite, the third ceasefire in the two years of the current assault upon Gaza. It does not represent peace or justice.

Despite all living hostages being released, Israel has not agreed that this is a permanent ceasefire. Gaza has no electricity, neither water nor sanitation, almost no food, medical supplies or any basic infrastructure whatsoever. At least 180,000 Palestinians dead, five times more injured, the entire Gazan population of two-million traumatised.

The siege conditions are illegitimate, inhuman and illegal under international law. Netanyahu’s Israeli Defence Force has violated one international law after another and is not withdrawing from Gaza. The Israeli State refuses to recognise Palestine and cannot be trusted.
