Global newspapers: Gaza needs thousands of prosthetic limbs and the Republicans are in great shock.

Global newspapers and websites have highlighted Gaza after the ceasefire and the tragedy of thousands who lost limbs due to the war, in addition to developments in Sudan and the Republicans' loss in the American elections.

A report in the American Wall Street Journal states that the plight of hundreds of fighters from the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) trapped in tunnels has become one of the biggest threats to the ceasefire in Gaza, noting that Arab officials say that how to deal with the trapped has become a point of contention in negotiations, as Hamas wants a safe exit for its fighters.

Security experts believe that Israel fears that killing the trapped will halt Hamas's process of returning the remains of the remaining dead prisoners, so it seeks to capture them instead of killing them, as the Wall Street Journal reports.

The British Independent newspaper highlighted in a report the tragedy of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza who have lost limbs, citing estimates from the World Health Organization that speak of the need for more than 6,000 prosthetic limbs in Gaza, pointing out that Israeli authorities have been preventing the entry of most components for prosthetics since the beginning of the war, while very few specialists are working to provide temporary supports for those who have lost their lower limbs.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs stated that the war on Gaza has caused the largest group of children with missing limbs in modern history.

In Israeli newspapers, Haaretz stated in its editorial that Benjamin Netanyahu's government seeks to control the media and suppress journalism, warning that its adoption of a broadcasting bill poses a direct threat to freedom of expression and opens the door to political interference in media broadcasting, which could indeed lead to the production of cheap content or subject channels to the control of the wealthy and powerful.

Regarding Sudan, an article in the American National Interest magazine stated that "Sudan needs a reliable transition from military rule to civilian rule," adding that "the Sudanese people are not asking for miracles, but are yearning for justice, dignity, and a government that rules without plundering."

The article added that "the administration of President Donald Trump should lead a coalition that insists on this principle, and the message must be firm and simple at the same time: the era of generals deciding Sudan's fate is over."

The American Newsweek magazine noted a decline in American support for President Trump's handling of the government shutdown to its lowest levels, as a poll showed that 31% of Americans supported Trump's approach to the ongoing shutdown, while 58% rejected his stance on this matter.

The American New York Times indicated that Republicans were shocked yesterday, Wednesday, after their loss in the elections, raising fears that President Trump and his declining popularity would weaken the party's candidates in next year's congressional midterm elections.

Republicans resorted to blaming - the newspaper adds - the government shutdown and their candidates and the weakness of their electoral rhetoric, and no Republican dared to blame President Trump.
