Public sentiment is largely negative and skeptical regarding the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, with many expressing doubts about its sincerity and long-term viability. Concerns about Israel's past behavior, the treatment of Palestinians, and a perceived lack of accountability dominate discussions, while some express cautious optimism for a peaceful resolution. Overall, distrust toward political figures such as Netanyahu and Trump is prevalent, overshadowing any hope for lasting peace.

&gt; Under the sprawling 20-point plan, the Gaza Strip will be "deradicalised and redeveloped", Hamas’s Israeli hostages will be released after more than two years, and Sir Tony Blair will be brought in to head up a so-called "Board of Peace".

I hope it works, but having Blair involved in a ‘Board of Peace’, particularly in this region, is mental.

socratic-meth

Surely they'll be gathering to celebrate the ceasefire and promote implementing the peace deal...

... surely...

quartersessions

They are going to keep going as long as Israel exists aren't they.

fitzgoldy

&gt;In a post to X this morning, the recently-founded party wrote: "Until the genocide ends. Until Gaza breathes. Until apartheid falls.

&gt;"Until the occupation is defeated. Until we have justice. We march on. Join the national Palestine demo in London this Saturday."

Given the reference to "the occupation" and the oft-heard argument that Israel is a colonising nation, would it be reasonable to read this as a statement that they intend to carry on protesting as long as Israel exists?  

If I'm honest, I'd be surprised if protesting against Israel after a cease-fire takes effect garners much wider support.  It's just going to make them look like they're motivated by hatred of Israel itself rather than hatred of Israel's actions.  And it might also make it look like they're not actually paying attention to what is going on...

LycanIndarys

Almost looking like they aren't really just upset about the conflict...

--rs125--

Looks like it’s peaked guys… on to virtue signal with the next trendy *current thing* I guess?

God forbid Trump gets any credit eh?

tofer85

They'll keep protesting until Israel is destroyed, just like Hamas will keep fighting.

They are the same thing.

InsightfulLemon

It’s almost as if a lot of these people weren’t actually in it for the reasons they say…

Edit- 65% upvote ratio, not a single response back. I’m starting to think these people downvoting know they don’t have a leg to stand on for defending this or explaining how this isn’t just a naked demonstration that the people on these marches didn’t just want a ceasefire, they want to see the state of Israel destroyed

WolfColaCo2020

As we've said from the start, this was never about Palestine, it was always about hating Jews. 

A lot of people who have been taken in by the genocide lie are going to have to wrestle with the fact that, as has been repeated time and time again, when the hostages are released, it all stops. That is not genocide, that is a war that they started and could stop at any time. 

I hope for a lot of their sakes they are able to admit they were taken in rather than go deeper into the hole. There is nothing but hate at the bottom and it will damn you.

DigbyGibbers

I’ve heard “ceasefire now” for months and months on end. Now that there is a ceasefire, will they finally acknowledge that they’re just antisemites who want Israel destroyed, as opposed to peace campaigners?

Thandoscovia

If you take any pro-Palestine marches seriously and think they are a good thing then you need to take a step back and ask yourself if you have any critical thinking skills.
You won’t do this because you have no critical thinking skills. It’s a never ending circle of stupidity.

Enjoy your rallies and helping prop up terrorists while they laugh at how gullible you are.

CrabPurple7224

This is the worst news for the protesters, the war will be over and they will need a new way to signal their virtue.

Even-Leadership8220

The Gaza ceasefire is a fantastic step towards peace, but it is not the be all and end all to the overall conflict


The occupation and settlement of the West Bank continues and poses an inherent obstacle to full peace and a two state solution

PimpasaurusPlum

Which international injustice will they take up placards for after this ?

Due-Resort-2699

The Pro-Palestine crowd are never beating the allegations with this one

ActivistZero

Narcissistic, virtue signalling knobheads.  They clearly don’t have anything better to smh.

Royal_IDunno

These people were never protesting the war or “genocide”. They are just a bunch of antisemites who were really just calling for the end of Isreal and its people. Does no one remember on day one people wearing icons of the parachute they used in the attack. They are all a bunch of sick people. They are openly hostile and never have good faith discussions with anyone on the issues in the region. These protests will now morph into the next excuse to fill the streets and be openly hostile to regular people.

Metori

Because it's not about a ceasefire. They don't really care about that.

huntergreeny

I mean, it would make sense to keep protesting at least until the point at which Palestine actually exists and I think its fair to have some doubts about the oversight of this process.

curlyjoe696

A ceasefire isn't a solution. It doesn't end the conflict, just this one very pressing stage of it.

Dark1000

I mean to be fair to them, an agreement of a ceasefire (that hasnt started yet) is hardly peace in the region lol

gxb20

It's a bit early to stop protesting though don't you think? If you see someone being stabbed and yell "hey! Stop stabbing that man, I'm gonna call the police!" If they do finally stop stabbing do you just go in with your day? Or do you still proceed with a police call because you know that guy was just stabbing a person.   


A ceasefire is a tremendous first step. **First** step.

I'm getting really worries what's going to happen after there is peace between Gaza and Israel. All these rabid people are just going to return to calm, normal (employed??) lives... or kick off with some new demands/issues. The UK is really not in a good place.

spamalt98

Look, it wasn't ever going to fully stop, and anyone who thought so is not being serious about it. There's always going to be people who want Israel to cease to exist, especially after the past 2 years, but the real indicator is whether the size of the protest becomes smaller after the end of the war, and by how much.

Raptorpicklezz

Theyre not even hiding the fact its not about the war anymore... plenty of useful idiots (im looking at you old white women) but a huge chunk of these protectors despise Israel and feel emboldened to push for them to no longer exist

Jeffuk88

I mean have Israel stopped bombing Gaza yet? If they haven't why wouldn't they still demonstrate?

Deadend_Friend

Why would the protests stop exactly? Notwithstanding that the ceasefire hasn't come into effect yet, the "20-point framework" still requires extensive negotiations to reach agreements. 

The West Bank is still being slowly annexed day-by-day by Israel. The humanitarian situation in Gaza is still horrific. 

Do people actually think that "peace" has been achieved? Where we are now is a really important first step, but peace is a long way away.

MMAgeezer

It’s a ceasefire. It’s not even a peace deal, let alone a final settlement to the Israeli-Palestine conflict. Of course they’re going to continue protesting.

vodkaandponies

There is no ceasefire yet. This is GB news misinformation.

LegitimateCompote377

You are just making an argument for no right of return and for Isreal to push even harder to remove all Arabs

Craft_on_draft

Hamas disarming is instrumental for this conflict to be resolved. If not, we are just kicking the can down the line like we did in the prior Israel-Hamas Wars.

fuggitdude22

Isn't Hamas asking for the Oct 7 attackers to be released. That seems like a clear red line.

dantoddd

Hamas disarming is key, and a safe passage out of the Gaza Strip to third party countries who will let them in disarmed and influence very limited, and away from  Israel/palestinan territories limiting their capabilities. 


The hostages must be freed, even if it means a certain amount of Palestinan prisoners are exchanged as a goodwill gesture.

The countries that want to contribute to a international peacekeeping force that would include countries like indonesia, the UAE, and Eureopean partners, put up a dmz like zone between Israel and Gaza, plus securing the Israeli-Egyptian borders, including the dismantling of these complex tunnels.
A international effort with arab, and eureopean funding  in the reconstruction and investment of the rebuilding of the Gaza Strip, and a UAE, and Saudi led de-radicalization program aimed at circulmns, textbooks/education, a a reformist forum of islam (instead of muslim Brotherhood, Salafi or Taliban style deobandi like versions of Sunni Islam), similar to the reforms that we see taking place in Saudi Arabia under MBS, and The UAE under MBZ, plus a technocratic intermin palestinan govt that every has input in.


Hopefully there a deal, hopefully Turkey and Qatar can pressure Hamas to cut a deal for the sake of any hope of a pathway to a Palestinan state of some form that also recoganizes Israel security, and right to exsit.  

All of the aboove would also help stabilize the region especially Egypt, with the leadership can now say  they "saved Palestine" to their populations and prevent a Islamist comeback by either the Muslim Brotherhoodor hardline Salafis, and can then concentrate on stabilizing their economy, Jordan likewise  can say to their people that the Palestinans in a final deal accepts israel right to exsit, that Jordan sacrificed for the Palestinans by the airdrops of humantarian aid, playing a role in the post war reconstruction of gaza, and building of the field hospitals during the crisis, and seeks to gain economically from the rebuilding of Gaza, of course Oman who Sultan feels Oman influence has had weakened as a mediator between regional powers, and feel the war has increased the radicalization in the mosques (that where showing support for Hamas since oct.7th), and sees the growing influence, and popularity in Oman of the grand mufti (who has praised Pakistan as "victorious against India", and threatened India about "remember how Muslims treated you during the caliphate ", as well as supporting Hamas since oct.7th,  prasing oct.7th as "liberation" , and lastly supporting the houthis attacks on the red sea and Israel, and against the saudi led coalition in yemen) can stabilize the situation in Oman and remind the mufti not to push too far, and say Oman is reclaiming it place as mediator in the region. The post-war situation (if all goes well), can also help all the key players in the region economically integrate as the states like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the UAE, Qatar, Oman, etc. have economic vision plans that includes diversification of the economy away from oil, aviation, music and  sports  entertainment, big internal projects, huge investments in A.I. , etc., Israel can play a key role in certain areas like agriculture technology, tourism, investments, Trade deals, and code sharing with Turkish, Gulf and other regional airlines. 

I pray this war ends soon, and that the hostages are released, humantarian aid flows into Gaza, a peace keeping force can deploy, that will allow for a cooling off between the jewish and Arab populations, and real work can begin to bring lasting stability in the region.

But Hamas must disarm and leave Gaza for the sake of any survival for Palestinan statehood, the two state solution , and for Bibi to lose support in Israel and a moderate can get serious negotiations going.

Psychological-Flow55

The war in Gaza may be on the verge of ending. Isaac Chotiner talks to an expert on international peace to try to understand what a deal between Israel and Hamas might look like and why it might finally be close to happening.

newyorker

Have to give the devil his due. Trump is prepared to use significant pressure to keep both sides on track.

They've agreed to the 1st phase (whatever that is), &amp; have broken every ceasefire in the past... let's not count chickens just yet

StrangerFew2424

enjoythesilence-75

One step closer to not hearing about this every single day gang we're nearly there

SidneyDeane10

Huge. Long-term it falls apart unless they implememt the whole proposal, but it is fantastic if the remaining live hostages are released, and the civilian suffering in Gaza is halted.

Shadowblade83

TDDBelgium

Fingers crossed but I do worry that the detail will result in hostilities resuming in the future.

Hopefully the detail on what next is in the agreement and was just not reported in the news headlines. (The policed zone, hamas peacefully stepping down, Palestinians getting back their homes etc)

Ptepp1c

ChickenSandwich662

Still have ways to go but a hopeful progress none the less.  Crossing fingers.

macross1984

Not anymore.  Hamas is once again trying to torpedo the deal:

This is great news! The icing on the cake will be the Commander in Orange NOT receiving the Nobel peace prize

nelsonself

Let’s hope this holds and results in Gaza and West Bank sovereignty

jimbosdayoff

DescriptionProof871

For a starter, give the Palestinian a country and stop barricading Gaza like it is an open prison.

mt007

It's so doubtful that a permanent peace deal is possible

Hardpoint36

Hamas clearly is in a position to negotiate, even if you don't want them to be.

Tallis-man

Whatever happened to "we don't negotiate with terrorists" ?

Hamas should be destroyed

Confident-Sense2785

"Hamas is in no position to negotiate, Israel might only need six months to a year to gain unconditional surrender."

And yet they are negotiating because they have Israeli hostages. Why do you want the hostages to suffer for what you think might take 6-12 more months? Damn. Each day is probably a lifetime for them.

allthingsgood28

Doesn't Hamas want the best for their people to end the killing of Gazans and the destruction of Gaza?

Direct_Interview6039

Just feels like they need the last word, so they can go back to their people and say "look at what we negotiated for you, your deaths and suffering were not for naught" etc etc.


Hamas' request doesn't materially change anything in the offer right?

OperationSelect4065

Impressive, every time there is a peace offer or a settlement deal, they act as though they are the ones with all the aces up their sleeves…

EstablishmentKooky50

They should do whatever it takes to get the hostages back. Then they can send these idiot Hamas leaders pagers for Christmas.

Israel has accepted the ceasefire deal proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump. With the help of Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey, HAMAS has also accepted the deal - leaving the next steps open. The video describes the terms for the deal and what it means for both sides, but also cautions about the potential flashpoints if the next steps aren’t taken carefully.

Golden_Week

A ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas has come into effect, following Israel's partial military withdrawal from Gaza. The deal includes the release of Israeli hostages while Israel is expected to release Palestinian prisoners amid ongoing tensions.
