Palestinians are using the lull in fighting to stock up on supplies and check on their homes and families throughout Gaza. For many, it’s terrible news.

The victors of the Gaza war were also the losers
Who came out of the Gaza war the victors, and who were the losers – or, rather, who lost more and who lost less? By Talal Jabari Another ceasefire between Israel and Hamas-led Gaza – this time costing more in terms of life and property than the last time. It will probably cost less than…

Protective Edge: The disengagement undone
Israel’s latest operation has brought about an end to the notion that Gaza can be separated from the rest of Palestine. The current war in Gaza demands we revisit the circumstances surrounding Israel’s “disengagement” from the Gaza Strip in 2005. Supporters of the war often claim that Israel left the territory and “got rockets in…

Gaza becomes Syria: Middle East geopolitics 2.0
The bickering between countries over who has the right to negotiate over the Palestinians is nothing new. We’ve been here before. By Aziz Abu Sarah and Dr. Marc Gopin There are two main camps involved in negotiating a ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel. However, the players are not within the camp that most would…

Obama calls on Netanyahu to accept unconditional humanitarian ceasefire; 15 killed in Gaza
In a phone call held Sunday night, U.S. President Barack Obama told Prime Minister Netanyahu that there is a “strategic imperative” to reach an immediate humanitarian ceasefire based on the one agreed to in November 2012 after the previous round of fighting between Israel and Hamas. According to Obama, the U.S. supports the Egyptian ceasefire…

Why Israel won’t sign any ceasefire that’s fair
A fair ceasefire would bring major relief for Gaza, which would mean Hamas wins the war. The ceasefire that the world is now pushing for – one that, as UN chief Ban Ki-Moon put it, not only ends the fighting but also ends Israel’s “chokehold on Gaza” – is one that the Netanyahu government will…

Still no ceasefire agreement as Israel rejects Kerry proposal
Amid intensive efforts to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, the Israeli cabinet rejected the latest U.S. proposal, yet agreed to a 12-hour suspension of fighting.

Why do Palestinians continue to support Hamas despite such devastating losses?
I know of many Palestinians who do not like Hamas. Yet for them, the Gaza war is about the siege – part of their own war of independence. Israelis refuse to get that. In The Fog of War, Errol Morris’ excellent documentary, former U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara speaks about a certain inability to…

How can you possibly oppose this war?
Someone asked me an innocent question: “What is the position of Israelis who are against the war?” There are obvious answers. First, this is a disproportionate war that harms huge numbers of civilians. The IDF is bombarding an area that it has already imprisoned by occupation from 1967, and then through suffocating border, movement, import…

Why is Mahmoud Abbas negotiating on behalf of Gaza?
When they emerge from the rubble, as they always do, who among Gaza’s Palestinians will look to Abu Mazen as their legitimate leader? The Fatah chief is reportedly in Cairo today to meet with Egyptian strongman Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi, whose “ceasefire proposal” to end the bloodshed in Gaza was promptly rejected as “a joke” by the…
