A ceasefire cannot replace the urgent need for justice, accountability, and a complete dismantling of the frameworks that enabled the genocide. Daniel Levy, Muhammad Shehada, Jeremy Scahill on Ceasefire deal, Trump's role & Palestine's future ... Our guests say it’s unlikely that the ceasefire announcement signifies true relief for Palestinians beset by Israel’s genocidal violence. ... Netanyahu is already working to renege on the deal and continue a war that has helped him retain his political power, while ... all signs point to the continued subjugation of the Occupied Palestinian Territories in conditions 'more painful than the war.' Gaza needs more than a ceasefire. We must demand an end to the blockade.
