International media outlets are sharply criticizing the ongoing devastation in the Gaza Strip, despite the announced ceasefire. Concerns are mounting over what is being described as the Trump administration’s preoccupation with securing political and economic deals, allegedly at the expense of addressing the grave injustices suffered by Palestinians. Simultaneously, reports suggest the US is tacitly legitimizing Russia’s occupation of Ukrainian territories.
According to reports, the ‘ceasefire’ brokered by the Trump administration appears to be a facade, masking a period of intense deal-making while Israeli forces continued their assaults, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of Palestinians. Critics argue that the so-called ceasefire has had little to no impact on the ground, with Israel allegedly continuing to bomb homes, obstruct aid deliveries, and demolish residential infrastructure following October 10th.
The international community’s perceived inability to halt these alleged violations is drawing heavy criticism. Some analysts believe that the current Israeli government is acting against its own best interests by dismissing opportunities for diplomacy. The portrayal of a Palestinian state as a terror entity, they argue, serves to perpetuate the control over occupied territories, despite repeated UN Security Council resolutions demanding an end to the occupation.
The recent UN Security Council resolution reaffirmed the prohibition of annexing occupied territories. The refusal by certain parties to acknowledge a Palestinian state is viewed by some as a deliberate strategy to maintain control over areas designated by international resolutions for the establishment of that state.

Syria Situation
Recent events in Syria, particularly the incident in the Beit Jann region near Damascus, have reportedly prompted security officials to reiterate the need to prevent hostile groups from establishing a presence near borders. Syria is described as an unstable nation, making agreements unfeasible and potentially preventing withdrawal from strategic locations.
Friday’s reported strike in Beit Jann resulted in casualties, further highlighting the volatile situation in the region.
