In a first, Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid said plainly that Israel should be ready to free its prisoners in Gaza in exchange for a ceasefire agreement.
His comment echoes those of other top Israeli officials. Netanyahu, however, is adamant, although he has no plan, neither for the war itself nor for the post-Gaza war.
On the other hand, it seems that Gaza’s future is still squarely in the hands of the Palestinian people, especially those who continue to resist in Gaza.
Knowing that the Palestinian Resistance is not isolated from the collective will of all Gazans, the Israeli army continued to bomb Palestinian cities, from Jabaliya to Khan Younis with complete impunity.
According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, 24,927 Palestinians have been killed, and 62,388 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7. Palestinian and international estimates say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.
