France 24 Wonders Who Governs Gaza As Israel Razes It
The question of 'governing Gaza,' as posed by France 24, conveniently sidesteps who has been doing the 'governing' through siege and bombardment for decades, let alone for the past eight months. This week alone, reports confirm Israel's ongoing demolition of residential blocks in Rafah, despite international condemnation. (As per various reports including those from France 24's own related

The conversation shifts from stopping mass killings to 'post-conflict management' before the killing has even paused. It's a rhetorical sleight of hand, implying a neutral managerial problem where a
humanitarian catastrophe—and potential war crimes—are ongoing. One might ask: how exactly does one govern rubble?
