"I keep asking myself: How can the world believe Israel's claim that a "ceasefire" is still in place? The occupation has convinced the world that the bloodshed in Gaza has stopped, while in reality families are still being erased from the civil registry in absolute silence. The world is quiet - perhaps simply because something called a "ceasefire" was announced?"
"What the world does not see is that, day after day, the Israeli military expands its control inside Gaza. It advances slowly, swallowing a street, a neighborhood, an entire area - quietly redrawing the map while the world celebrates a fabricated calm. The war has not stopped; it has only changed form: from bombing to quiet expansion, from airstrikes to a creeping occupation."
"The world also fails to see how Gaza is being flooded with a deceptive illusion of normalcy: sweets, chocolates, and new electronics are allowed in, as if people here crave luxury - while the essentials like meat, eggs, and medicine continue to be blocked. Imagine that the simplest necessities of life have become rare treasures, and when they do appear, they are sold at outrageous prices. Traders raise prices on essentials like medicines and meat to unbearable levels because the supply is so scarce."
An announced ceasefire conceals continued Israeli advances and administrative erasure of Palestinian families in Gaza. Israeli forces expand control incrementally, taking streets and neighborhoods while international attention treats the situation as calm. Humanitarian access is distorted: luxury items and electronics enter Gaza while vital goods such as meat, eggs, and medicines remain scarce or blocked. Scarcity drives traders to inflate prices for essentials, making basic life unaffordable. Nighttime explosions, like those on November 19, 2025, revive fears of renewed large-scale violence and echo earlier truce collapses, underscoring that cessation of bombing has not ended occupation or suffering.
