Khaberni - Global newspapers have discussed the evolving situation in Gaza after the ceasefire, with some pointing to an American-Israeli proposal to divide the sector and reconstruct only the part under occupation, a step that may place further obstacles in front of the peace process.
The Guardian published an article by writer Natalie Touche, who stated that the European Union was complicit in the war on Gaza, and that Donald Trump’s plan cannot justify the Union's abdication of responsibility.
The article mentioned that Europe's hesitation in confronting Israel "has cost it its credibility", and called for preventing the repetition of such tragedies, concluding that serious pressure is the only way to overcome the political impasse and contribute to establishing real peace in the region.
Dividing Gaza
As for the Wall Street Journal, it discussed current discussions between the United States and Israel about a plan to divide the sector into two, one under Israeli authority and the other under the control of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas).
The plan, according to the newspaper, proposes reconstruction in the areas under Israeli control, which Arab countries oppose fearing that part of it might remain under permanent occupation, according to the newspaper.
The newspaper doubted that Arab countries would send forces to guard the sector under this proposed situation, and quoted a top official in the American administration saying that the plan is still preliminary and will undergo updates in the coming days.
From one side of the tragedy, The New York Times reported that Palestinians buried 54 of their kin in a mass funeral after receiving them from the Israeli side.
The newspaper explained that forensic doctors at Nasser Hospital, who received the bodies, were unable to identify about two-thirds of the bodies, leaving questions about their identities, the circumstances of their deaths, and what happened to them beforehand.
As for the West Bank, the Walla website reported that it accessed data indicating that more than 15 violence-related incidents linked to the olive harvesting season were recorded in the West Bank just last week.
The newspaper also noted that officials in the Israeli Central Command warned that the increased level of violence between the two sides could lead to more severe consequences.
In Haaretz, an analysis stated that the dismissal of Tsahi Hanegbi, National Security Advisor by Benjamin Netanyahu "reveals his determination to evade responsibility for the disaster of October 7, 2023."
The analysis viewed that Hanegbi "was never qualified for this position", and his dismissal "will not have a political impact, as he will be replaced by another loyalist." It added that most of those who shared the responsibility for the disaster with Netanyahu - who is demanded by the International Criminal Court - are no longer in their positions, while he still remains, refusing to take any responsibility for the worst tragedy in Israel's history.
Europe Fuels the Russian War
In a National Interest site, writer Ian Bremmer mentioned that Europe is fueling the Russian war machine, pointing to the rise in Russian energy imports in 7 major European countries this year.
The writer stated that this complicates efforts to support Kyiv against the invasion, and that the correct solution is to ban the purchase of any Russian fuel to effectively stop financing the war machine.
In related context, The Independent reported that the UK and Germany are uniting efforts to protect Europe, through joint patrols tracking Russian submarines from the "Lucy Mauth" airbase to protect the Eastern and Northern flanks of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization).
The article also pointed to the UK and Germany working hard to protect NATO's transportation and supply networks from cyber-attacks.
Lastly, The Hill published a poll showing that American support for Donald Trump's economic performance has reached its lowest levels, with 38% in favor of him compared to 57% opposing his administration, while 5% abstained from giving their opinion.
