The Guardian: The world wants to overcome the Gaza crisis, which is submerged in floods and rubble.

The British newspaper "The Guardian" confirmed in its editorial on Thursday that the announcement of a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip led to an initial sense of relief among its residents. However, officials there confirmed that Israeli airstrikes killed 33 people, including 12 children, last Wednesday; while "Israel" claimed that its forces came under gunfire.

The newspaper stated that five more Palestinians were martyred on Thursday, in addition to hundreds since the ceasefire was announced, explaining that "even if the bombardment stops, the destruction of Palestinian lives will continue as Israel continues to choke off aid, and the repercussions of two years of war."

The World Health Organization warned last month that the health disaster will last for generations. It added, "Food is still scarce. While displaced families tremble in temporary shelters flooded with water, many face a third winter of homelessness, relief organizations say they cannot deliver their supplies of tents and blankets, and Israel, which denies blocking aid, has classified tent poles as "dual-use" materials that can be used for military purposes.

Meanwhile, the organization "Save the Children" reported that children are sleeping on bare ground in clothes soaked in sewage. The newspaper revealed last week American plans to long-term divide Gaza into a "Green Zone" under Israeli and international control for redevelopment, and a "Red Zone" left in ruins; an American official described the reunification of the sector as "ambitious."

It noted that "this vision - with international forces primarily supporting the Israeli occupation, and attracting Palestinians to those areas to escape misery and chaos elsewhere - mimics the disastrous American policies in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It confirmed, "This is the dark foundation of the United Nations Security Council's decision this week, which endorsed Donald Trump's peace proposals. The "Peace Council" appears as a colonial authority overseen by Mr. Trump, possibly cemented by Tony Blair.

It will operate under Palestinian technocrats, who enjoy local credibility and acceptance by the United States and Israel - a notable achievement. All of this is possible thanks to an international stability force that the United States hopes to deploy by January.

This would be exaggerated even if countries genuinely showed willingness to send troops. It said, "The decision improved the draft text, and received support from the Arab world - and an angry rejection from the Israeli right - by including references to a Palestinian state and Israeli withdrawal.

However, these references are framed in vague terms, as an unguaranteed reward for sufficient good behavior, rather than being an acknowledgment of the inalienable Palestinian rights.

If things go according to plan, "conditions may finally be set for a reliable path towards Palestinian self-determination and statehood." The Israeli withdrawal will be based on criteria and timelines agreed upon by the army itself, as well as by the United States and other parties.

Countries did not support what this text means, but what it might mean or become. It added, "Some believe this is the best that can be salvaged from the current circumstances, under Mr. Trump's presidency; while others hope that this unpromising start will allow for the formulation of something better.

But it is hard not to conclude that for some governments, it is more about saving face and whitewashing reputations than being in the interest of the Palestinians. Germany has already announced that it will resume arms exports to Israel.

For the Palestinians, "what seemed like an eternal war may turn into eternal misery," as political scientist Nathan Brown warned. Countries that were complicit in the genocide have a greater duty to demand better.
