DROPSITE
In the past 48 hours, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported an additional 13 killed (7 of whom were recovered from the rubble) and 20 injured arriving at hospitals.
Since the ceasefire on October 11, 2025:
– Total killed 401 – Total injured 1,108
– Total previously killed bodies recovered 641
 
This brings the recorded death toll from the Israeli genocide in Gaza to 70,925 and 171,185 injuries (likely 3-5x higher)

I spent the last 2 weeks speaking to EU, UK, US, Qatari, Saudi & Egyptian officials about the Gaza ceasefire
 
Not a single one of them believes phase 2 is going to happen anytime soon (i.e. IDF withdrawal, international force entering Gaza, reconstruction…)
 
Israel will only allow this if “dragged kicking & screaming,” one said. Netanyahu found a way to play Trump & the rest of the international community.
 
If they demand he allows ISF into Gaza, he says “sure, but on the condition they become a peace enforcing force” (meaning that ISF uses military violence against Palestinians; where they kill, maim, detain anyone Israel deems a threat & go around looking for tunnels & weapons to destroy).
 
This is Israel’s way of making sure not a single country would join ISF, b/c nobody wants to be seen as a subcontractor of the Israeli army or a new occupying force. Netanyahu then says “if nobody wants to join ISF, then Israel gets to stay in Gaza”. It’s the same with the police force that was supposed to take over from Hamas in Gaza.
 
They got trained in Egypt & Jordan per Trump’s deal, & when they were ready for deployment Netanyahu refused to let them into Gaza out of hand b/c they “are affiliated with the Palestinian Authority”. Instead, he insists the Abu Shabab criminal gang be used as a police force.
 
Similarly, the administrative committee that was supposed to take over government from Hamas has been pending Netanyahu’s approval for 70 days.
 
In other words, Netanyahu is preventing Hamas from leaving government in Gaza so he can use them as a pretext to keep the enclave caged in conditions calculated to bring about the collapse of the population (i.e. genocide).
 
When countries bring up reconstruction, Israel says “yes, but only in the Hamas-free zone” (which is the IDF controlled & fully depopulated area where nobody lives except the gangs).
 
Everyone I spoke to has been saying they see no hope whatsoever that anything will move forward.
 
A recently retired American diplomat told me “we need an action forcing event, like the bombing of Doha, to put Gaza back on the agenda”. He added that such an event can be a huge massacre Israel commits in Gaza or a retaliation by Hamas.

Found on nakedcapitalism morning links:
 

I was sitting in the clinic on the first morning of the cold wave, the kind of cold that does not merely touch the body but gnaws at the soul. A journalist had written to me earlier, asking about the weather and its effects on patients. I read the message and thought I would answer later. I believed, foolishly, that one could still think calmly in a world like this.
 
Then I raised my eyes.
 
Before me sat a woman, silent and exhausted, with two small girls clinging to her. They were dressed in thin clothes, the sort one might wear on a mild spring day, not in the cruelty of winter. Over them hung a jacket so worn and torn that it mocked the very idea of protection. On their feet were flimsy plastic slippers, the kind meant for tiled bathrooms, now forced to confront mud, cold, and misery. I felt a strange shame for my own shoes.
 
I took the hand of one of the girls and placed it on the table. Her fingers were small and delicate, still belonging to a child who should have been learning to draw or to write her name. Instead, they were wounded. The skin was broken. The injuries were deep despite their size and dirty despite their simplicity. They resembled disease, yes, but not a disease I had learned about, not one with a Latin name that could be explained away.
 
As I examined her hand, she spoke.
 
She said that while she was sleeping in the tent the night before, rats had eaten her fingers.
 
She did not cry. She did not dramatize. She stated it as one might state that it had rained, or that the night had been cold. And because the mind rebels when confronted with absolute obscenity, I asked her again, almost angrily, almost begging reality to contradict itself.
 
“Rats?”
 
“Yes,” she replied at once, surprised by my surprise.
 
In that instant, something inside me collapsed. Not slowly, not philosophically, but violently. The world shrank and became cramped and airless, as though God Himself had stepped back to avoid witnessing what His creation had become. I had read about suffering. I had studied it. I had admired its descriptions in books. But this was not suffering. This was humiliation elevated to a principle of existence.
 
A rat. A living creature driven by hunger and filth, gnawing on the fingers of a sleeping child. And the greater horror was not the rat. It was that this act had become ordinary. That the child found my disbelief strange. That the universe had trained her to accept the unacceptable.
 
I wanted to scream. I wanted to accuse someone, anyone. Humanity, governments, history, God. But there was no one to accuse. There was only the child’s hand resting quietly on the table.
 
I realized then that I did not know what to do. No textbook had prepared me for this. No lecture, no exam, no brilliant professor had ever spoken of rats eating children alive while they slept. And even if such a chapter had existed, I am certain I would have skipped it. Who could read such a thing and still believe they lived in a civilized world?
 
This was not poverty. This was not war. This was moral collapse.
 
Later, when I remembered the journalist’s question about the cold wave and its impact, I almost laughed. To answer such a question requires no intellect, no statistics, no expert commentary. One must simply walk through the streets of Gaza for an hour. One must look carefully and honestly, without averting the eyes.
 
The answer will be there, breathing, bleeding, and waiting quietly for someone to finally admit what this world has allowed itself to become.

If you are an Israeli – then you are already committing a crime, the crime of squatting on stolen lands – you are an illegal occupier – and you should head back to your OWN country if you were born on stolen lands then you MUST either return to your mother or fathers homelands -outside of Palestine – Palestine is NOT yours.
 
“A guesthouse in Japan says it is under pressure from local authorities to change a policy asking guests to declare that they have never committed war crimes, following complaints by Israel’s ambassador.
Israeli Ambassador Gilad Cohen has accused the WIND VILLA guest house in Kyoto of discrimination following an incident in April in which an Israeli tourist was asked to sign a pledge stating he had never “been involved in any war crimes that violate humanitarian and international law”.”

This is what the world via the UN SC has endorsed as a “peace plan”  and ‘a solution’ to the Palestine question !
 
The US drafts 112 billion dollars Gaza reconstruction plan, according to WSJ  carried by TASS:
 
Exc:
 
NEW YORK, December 20. /TASS/. US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and President Donald Tump’s son-in-law, businessman Jared Kushner, have designed a project of rebuilding the Gaza Strip, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) wrote citing sources.
 
According to the article, Project Sunrise was designed “to turn Gaza’s rubble into a futuristic coastal destination (‘a high-tech cityscape’ ) .” The US sides estimates that the project will require $112.1 billion over ten years.
 
The report says that Kushner, Witkoff, senior White House aide Josh Gruenbaum and other US officials pulled the proposal together over the past 45 days and received input from Israeli officials, people in the private sector and contractors.

Middle East Eye:
The Israeli army on Friday shelled a school being used as a shelter, where displaced Palestinian families had gathered for a wedding, killing at least six people, including a five-month-old baby…Witnesses reported that an Israeli tank had advanced into the area and approached the school before firing…
The incident occurred as Steve Witkoff, US President Donald Trump’s special envoy for the Middle East, and other senior US officials were due to begin talks in Miami, Florida, on advancing the next phase of the Gaza agreement.
————————————————————————————
Israel has consistently initiated civilian massacres at the start and conclusion of diplomatic talks, going back to the immolation of hundreds of sheltering civilians in a hospital courtyard exactly timed to the departure of Air Force One carrying Biden as it flew to Tel Aviv in October 2003. It stands as a particularly depraved attitude, a signature of an appalling malevolence which haunts the collective conscious.
After two years, this consequence-free malevolence has produced what amounts to a civil or moral surrender: 
“A recently retired American diplomat told me ‘we need an action forcing event, like the bombing of Doha, to put Gaza back on the agenda’. He added that such an event can be a huge massacre Israel commits in Gaza or a retaliation by Hamas.”
