Israel is continuing to force the collapse of Gaza’s devastated healthcare system, despite the supposed ceasefire – during which it has killed well over a hundred people through continued bombing and shooting.
Israel is refusing to release kidnapped Gaza medics
The occupation has refused to release doctors abducted during the genocide, such as Kamal Adwan Hospital’s Hussam Abu Safiya, kidnapped almost a year ago by Israeli forces after they destroyed most of the hospital and murdered many of its medical staff, and field hospital director Marwan al-Hams, abducted in July. Abu Safiya has been beaten, starved and repeatedly tortured in an Israeli jail. Soldiers also took Al-Hams’s daughter Tasneem, a nurse, last week.
The colonial regime has also refused entry to international volunteer doctors trying to return to Gaza to help treat the wounded and starving during the ‘ceasefire’, as surgeons Victoria Rose and Graeme Groome explained during an interview yesterday:

Israel has murdered over 1,500 healthcare workers, some of those tortured to death in prison. Israel has over 350 healthcare workers abducted and being held in prisons, under inhumane conditions and frequent torture and violence. The occupation has destroyed or severely damaged all of Gaza’s hospitals and medical experts say that more than four hundred people a day in Gaza are dying from hunger and disease.

Yep, this is merely a truce,good for Israel to rearm. There can’t be peace without the creation of a Palestinian State and everyone should know that at this point.
I’d argue that the condition for peace is the dismantling of the Israeli state (in its current apartheid form)
You mean its government I guess,and that’s important but more important is the recognition of the Palestinian state imo. This would be a game changer.
I mean the State, which the government operates.
The State which has the monopoly on the legitimate (as defined by itself) use of violence, through its laws and regulations and sub-organizations and shaping of society. The State that is an apartheid State.
They might.
Personally I mean the entire country goes back to pre-1948 borders.

Recognizing the countries around Israel doesn’t keep Israel from attacking them whenever they feel like it. Recognizing Palestine is important in the long term, sure, but that won’t matter as long as Israel keeps behaving the same way.
The idea of a Palestinian state is downright laughable at this point. The only people keeping that myth alive are Israeli propagandists. Keeping the myth of such a state around is a useful distraction from real peace efforts.
Seriously, anyone still clinging to the idea in 2025 is hopelessly out of touch.
