A ceasefire agreed upon in October has failed to stop Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip, where Palestinians continue to face severe violence. Israeli forces claim they are targeting Hamas fighters, but Gaza’s Health Ministry reports that the majority of those killed are women and children. Recent Israeli strikes on residential areas in Gaza have resulted in at least eight deaths.

The conflict has spared no one, with attacks hitting homes, tents sheltering displaced people, and even funerals. The United Nations has described the situation as a nightmare for Palestinians, difficult to reconcile with the existence of any truce.

Amid the ongoing violence, thousands rallied in London to show support for Gaza and called on the new UK Prime Minister to take action. Meanwhile, in New York, academic Mamdani is reportedly considering the possibility of arresting Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu during a city visit.

Commentators such as Gideon Levy, columnist at Haaretz and author of "The Punishment of Gaza," and Xavier Abu Eid, former PLO communications director and political analyst, continue to analyze the complex dynamics of the conflict.
