As the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire comes to an end it is clear the Trump White House has no substantive policy for the region. Israel is filling that vacuum with perpetual war.

By Mitchell Plitnick February 28, 2025

"Trump has given tacit approval to Israeli actions since the ceasefire came into effect on January 19. More than 90 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza by Israeli attacks. Israel has also violated the ceasefire by obstructing the delivery of heavy machinery to start clearing away rubble; preventing the delivery of mobile homes and tents to temporarily shelter the people of Gaza, especially in the almost totally destroyed north; delaying the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners; and now by refusing to leave the Philadelphi Corridor.

All of this has taken place without comment from Washington. Trump has gotten what he most wanted in the short term, a ceasefire and more hostages freed. He may well see all the remaining Israeli hostages returned home, and that will be his victory. "

      It’s depressing to see the violence intensify without respect for Gaza’s humanitarian plight. The Trump administration’s absence of a strategy shows a disturbing disrespect for lives. Supporting Israel’s military activities without addressing Palestinian needs and rights promotes violence and suffering. Only honest communication and respect for all lives can lead to a lasting solution. The international community must hold leadership accountable and promote a peaceful, human rights-based solution.
