The ceasefire has been extended for 24 hours. It is unlikely to hold beyond that. The gap between the sides is simply too great. I went on the Real News with Jaisal to talk about the ceasefire, the suffocation of the Palestinian leadership which led to the request that the UN take over protection, and the need for investigation of war crimes (a member of the Amnesty team - Deborah Hyams - who was denied access to Gaza by the Israelis underlined this point on the air): therealnews/t2/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31&Itemid=74&jumival=12262. At An-Nahars new site, here is Karims supersonic essay on the war, its implications to a failed UN system, the rise of the third intifada, and the BDS/ICC options, en.annahar/article/161951-war-on-gaza-will-strengthen-palestine-as-both-a-state-and-a-national-resistance. Here, by the way, is the new song of the Palestinian resistance, with a Hezbollah aesthetic (they used one of the Hezbollah bands), https://youtube/watch?v=-4a44nxCiTM&hd=1. I can imagine a Mleeta one day in Gaza.
