Genocide is being committed in Gaza by Israel

Once, if, the Gaza situation is resolved, which I believe to be the wish of all on this thread, although I can't speak for the Shadows, only those who post, in a way that satisfies the Palestinian people of all faiths, yes, the Christians as well, then there will be no need to march for justice for Gaza, as that will have been achieved.

The protest marches will continue as long as the appalling bombing and starvation continues.

I shall never forget in the new 2 weeks ago a doctor from Australia reporting that the IDf were getting closer.

He had just given a caesarean to a woman whose head had been blown off.
the baby was born alive.

You think thats OK?

As long as this is happening appropriately gauged protsts should continue.

If Gaza is rebuilt and peace and prosperity ensue perhaps the protest marches will stop too. We can but hope.

Will Hamas give up control? We'll soon see.
Has Israel stopped the bombing? Actually, no it hasn't.

Hamas give up their control ? no

But how to persuade Hamas to give up?
When will the bombing stop, and the food go in?

No firm news - but both Egypt and Qatar are putting pressure on Hamas.

Once agreed Hamas will no longer be an agent in the future of Palestine.

Israel has had nearly all its requirements met.

There is to be a 3-4 phase withdrawal of the IDF, and the interim authority alongside an independent army/law keeper will take control.

Yes, far too many innocent children, on both and every side, have been caught up in this disgraceful conflict.
Every child's pain and parents' anguish should be acknowledged.

What monsters could have killed Shiri Bibis and Kfir and Ariel?

Footage of a terrified Shiri Bibas clutching her two sons — 9-month-old Kfir and 4-year-old Ariel — as they were taken to Gaza by militants is seared into the country’s collective memory.

its the image of the Mother and baby, but perhaps that empty square speaks more loudly.

Gone, erased.

Is that supposed to excuse anything?

Never ever forget. Let's keep aware of whats happening and keep this thread alive and watchful.

All wars are brutal

I must do some reading, I haven’t been looking at the news (a break from all the sadness).

Nothing at the ending of a brutal war is ever ideal, but small steps………..

The most important thing is AID!

Children’s lives will be saved.

A glimmer of light in a very dark corner of the world. I hope the end is in sight but there's still a long way to go.

Well, the details of the Trump Peace plan are out. Live news feed on the BBC to keep up with events

www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cn0xvnxqj2xt

First, the current situation summary see 07.22 on the timeline

"Hamas was under a lot of pressure to accept at least some points of President Trump’s deal for Gaza. With its “yes, but” response, this is exactly what they have done.

They have agreed to release all the remaining Israeli hostages, both living and dead, and that Gaza will be governed by technocrats.
But the group’s statement doesn’t mention its disarmament, which has been a major Israeli demand, or the exile of its members.
The response came after the start of the Jewish weekend, so reaction in Israel has, so far, been limited.

The office of the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said the country was preparing for the immediate release of all the hostages. And reports suggest the army has been ordered to reduce offensive operations.

In Gaza, many are expressing hope that these dramatic developments could finally pave the way for the war to end

The actual peace plan : see 7.02 on the timeline:

"On Monday, the White House published a map, external showing the various lines of Israeli troop withdrawal, should Donald Trump’s peace plan go ahead.

Although the map appears to be somewhat approximate - for example, Gaza's southern border with Egypt is not actually as straight as pictured - it gives us an idea of what this peace plan would mean for the Palestinian territory.
If the peace plan followed the boundaries shown on the White House map, the military’s initial withdrawal would leave Gaza about 55% occupied.

The second withdrawal would leave it about 40% occupied.
And the final phase of the withdrawal, which would create a “security buffer zone“, would leave about 15% of Gaza occupied by the Israeli military."

BUT
Israel is still bombing Gaza.
People are still suffering as before, food, water, pushed around from pillar to post.

My personal opinion is that this is not an ideal settlement but if it stops the war for now and humanitarian aid can reach Gaza and the hospitals can work without fear of being bombed, its a stop in the right direction

Netanyahu has had to.apologise to Qatar for the bombing.
Trump is confident there will be a peace deal.

Netanyahu meeting Trump today. Just hope he doesn't change Trump's mind about the plan for peace.

Yes, feeling hopeful here too. 🕊️

Though I have misgivings about it feeling rather ‘colonial’.
