"Israel has spent more than two years attacking Gaza in its genocidal war on the Palestinian enclave. It has destroyed the majority of its housing and infrastructure, and killed more than 70,000 Palestinians, leaving the rest of Gaza's population facing a harsh winter with inadequate food, medicine, and shelter. And yet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for whom the International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for war crimes committed in Gaza this week joined US President Donald Trump's Board of Peace,"
"It opens up the question of what Netanyahu and Israel actually want from the Palestinian territory, and whether they want the territory to rebuild or just want a continuation of the status quo. Ahead of Netanyahu lies a difficult journey, observers say. With Israeli elections looming later this year, he must appear to the world and the Israeli public as working with US ambitions for Gaza."
Israel’s military campaign has devastated Gaza, destroying most housing and infrastructure and killing over 70,000 Palestinians, leaving survivors facing winter with inadequate food, medicine, and shelter. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who faces an ICC arrest warrant for alleged war crimes in Gaza, joined the US-led Board of Peace to oversee Gaza’s reconstruction and governance. Political imperatives create tension between presenting cooperation with US plans and retaining a governing coalition that includes hardline figures opposing reconstruction and the ceasefire. Netanyahu has struggled to delay the transition to the second phase of the ceasefire plan, and Rafah crossing is due to open despite his objections.
