Turkey, Qatar 'Protecting Truce' Israel Already Shattered
Turkey and Qatar are 'stepping up bids' to protect a Gaza truce, according to The New Arab . One might 'step up bids' to save a drowning man, but not a phantom limb. Israel's leadership has repeatedly stated its intent for 'total victory' in Gaza, directly contradicting any notion of a sustained truce. Netanyahu declared 'no ceasefire without return of hostages' on October 30, 2023, and military
operations have continued unabated, including into Rafah, since then. This isn't 'protecting' a truce; it's performing CPR on a ghost. These diplomatic efforts, while framed by mainstream media as constructive, appear to be a performative dance around a harsh reality. How many times will international actors 'protect' agreements while turning a blind eye to continuous violation? It's like
endlessly polishing the bumpers of a car that's already been driven off a cliff.
