"The partial withdrawal left Israel in control of roughly 53 percent of Gaza"
This means that the area *not* under Israel's control is about the same size as Glasgow.

<div class="field field-field-text"><p>US President Donald Trump’s administration has presented a proposal to potential Gulf donor countries to rebuild "New Gaza" on the eastern side of the strip, which is under Israeli control, Times of Israel <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/us-looks-to-build-new-gaza-on-half-of-strip-under-idf-control-but-faces-pushback/">reported</a>. </p>
<p>The report quotes two Arab diplomats familiar with the matter as having said that “new Gaza” is the term frequently used by US officials to describe the project that will take place on the eastern side of the Yellow Line.</p>
<p>Yellow Line is the the newly created boundary to which the Israeli forces withdrew on 10 October at the start of the Gaza ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas.</p>

By and large the 'ceasefire' smokescreen seems to be working to ensure that the genocide in Gaza can go on unchallenged. Simmering along, rather than full boil, perhaps, but continuing nonetheless

"People in Gaza have been burying the bodies of dozens of Palestinians released by Israel.. many.. show signs of torture & mutilation"
If these were Israeli bodies the story would have dominated the headlines for days & Starmer would have condemned Hamas's murderous brutality

To be clear: deportations to increase cultural homogeneity is the text book definition of ethnic cleansing. Demands that come even close to this are so far outside any democratic norm and the rule of law. What has happened to a country when this is not condemned in the strongest possible terms?

Blair took us to war on a lie, a war that killed a million Iraqis & destabilised the entire region. And the reason he's now being touted for a role governing Gaza (and allowed to swan around the world making millions from dictators) is because there's been no accountability #GMB
