El acuerdo de reconciliación palestino firmado en Pekín el 22 de julio no ha suscitado demasiada atención. Es fácil comprender por qué. Desde los años '80 se han firmado muchos acuerdos similares entre Fatah y Hamás que no se han aplicado. ¿Qué tiene de diferente este acuerdo? La diferencia no reside en las perspectivas de reconciliación, que pueden materializarse o fracasar en última instancia como sus predecesores, sino más bien en los contenidos que ha aceptado el movimiento Hamás.

For most Israelis, the war has become routine. They’ve learned to live with it. It’s uncomfortable, they think, but there’s no other choice. Of course, not everyone shares in this sense of complacency — the bereaved, the survivors, the wounded, the evacuees, and the families of those still held hostage in Gaza.

The Gaza war has set off a number of acrimonious and polarized debates. One of the most consequential ones for policymaking in the Middle East and internationally has focused on the fate and governance of Gaza and its population. Earlier discussions tended to be based on a “day after,” in which fighting would stop, Israel would withdraw, humanitarian conditions would improve, displaced families would return, and local governance structures would be devised or repaired.

Israel’s War Cabinet Has Learned Nothing From Its Failures Published October 27, 2023 In 1991, American neoconservatives — many of whom would become part of the administration of George W. Bush two decades later — were unsatisfied that the Gulf War ended merely with the liberation of Kuwait from Iraqi occupation. What they really wanted was to topple President Saddam Hussein and his Ba’ath Party, arguing that they needed to install a democratic, Western-friendly regime in Iraq.

The brewing “civil war” we are currently witnessing in Israel is not a flashing spectacle, but rather a long-running process. Contrary to how the far right has tried to bombastically portray the mass opposition to its judicial overhaul, IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi and Shin Bet Director Ronan Bar did not ride on tanks to the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem to announce to the nation that they are taking over the government for a transitional period until democracy is restored.

Sometimes there is an event so extreme that it tears the veil of willful ignorance from the eyes of Jewish-Israeli society. The pogrom in Huwara last February, in which hundreds of settlers torched the Palestinian town in the occupied West Bank, was such an event. Last week’s pogroms in Turmus Ayya, Urif, and Umm Safa raised the curtain even higher, forcing many Israelis to stare straight at a reality that has long been present and can undoubtedly get worse.
