“It looks like we’re closer to a Gaza ceasefire deal than ever before. There are still a lot of things that could go wrong at numerous steps along the way, but it’s something, which is more than we’ve seen for the last 15 months. As Antiwar’s Dave Decamp has noted, both AP and CBS News are reporting that Hamas and Israel have agreed ‘in principle’ to the terms of a ceasefire, set to be rolled out in multiple tentative phases the details of which have yet to be fully nailed down. According to AP, the current deal would allow Israel the option of resuming its onslaught after a 42-day pause rather than moving on to the second phase of peace deals. So it’s very, very far from perfect. But it’s something.” (01/15/25)
