Ceasefire? Israel's 'Last Warning' Death Toll Continues
The New Arab noted Israeli strikes killed 28 people in Gaza even after the supposed ceasefire. One might recall Netanyahu's government has routinely treated 'ceasefires' as mere pauses before resuming operations, as seen during Operation Protective Edge in 2014 when negotiations repeatedly failed amidst continued violence. This pattern suggests that for one party, 'ceasefire' might just mean
'reload.' Perhaps the US State Department can clarify the difference between a 'ceasefire' and a mere declaration for public consumption. How many civilians must die for a 'ceasefire' to officially be considered 'broken'? Given the US just greenlit more arms shipments to Israel, their definition seems remarkably flexible.
