From his paralyzing shell-shock in the first hours of the Hamas assault to bombastic claims of 'total victory': This is how Netanyahu, eying elections, is already drafting an alternative history of the Gaza war, the tragedy of so many Israelis and Palestinians be damned

In the Netherlands, an estimated 250,000 people, most dressed in red, gathered in Amsterdam to press the government to take tougher action against Israel. In Spain, a group of women marched carrying white bundles symbolizing the bodies of children killed in Gaza

U.S. President Donald Trump's 'day after' plan for Gaza, if effectively executed, could offer stability and security to the Middle East. But the deal's ability to survive rests on whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas move on what previously were hardline demands

Israel's three largest airlines – El Al, Israir and Arkia – nearly doubled their market share since the war in Gaza began. Smaller airlines have replaced the foreign legacy carriers and low-cost giants have disappeared, and Ben-Gurion Airport expects to see 2.1 million passengers over the holidays

Gaza, Ramallah and Washington all say that a cease-fire, the release of the hostages and a new governing body in Gaza are forthcoming, but all sides are declining to make clear statements. This is Trump's moment of truth: will he be able to enforce Israel's promises if Netanyahu tries to call it quits again?

Two years after the Hamas attack of October 7, Jewish graduates from New York to Cape Town and Sydney reflect on the war, and how pro-Palestinian protests, rising antisemitism and the Gaza death toll have reshaped their views on Israel and their Jewish identity

Bitter experience teaches that this is the most dangerous stage of Gaza cease-fire talks: Netanyahu will try to prolong the process, accuse Hamas of not agreeing to every detail and turn back the clock. Trump must force both sides to do what they did not choose to do themselves: end the war

Israel's interception of a protest flotilla headed to Gaza sparked protests in several European cities, calling for an end to the war as a cease-fire deal reportedly nears

'Hamas agreed to the outline of the deal: Our nightmare is on its way to ending': Although the prime minister said that Israel was preparing to implement Trump's Gaza cease-fire proposal, demonstrators fear that far-right ministers will force the government to renege

The U.S. president's proposal for ending the Gaza war lacks a clear path toward implementation and measurable goals. Indeed, people close to the Israeli prime minister say he won't need to thwart it, since parts are in any case unfeasible

Israeli army officials worry about clashes that could erupt with protesters, including Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, on the Global Sumud Flotilla's ships as they near Gaza. Italy's Meloni has called for a halt, despite all parties – including Israel's navy – promising to forgo violence during the takeover once the aid for the Palestinian enclave reaches Israeli waters

According to the Gaza Health Ministry, only one person has died from hunger in the past ten days, as opposed to several each day. Data also shows a sharp drop in food prices across the Strip. Aid workers in Gaza also say the rate of Palestinians leaving Gaza City has slowed

Trump realized Netanyahu was determined to block any deal and had grown weary of his empty talk. He compelled him to apologize to Qatar's prime minister and unveiled a plan to end the Gaza war, each clause a regional drama. After receiving only lukewarm praise from the president, Netanyahu now returns to face turmoil in his coalition

Since the war broke out on October 7, 2023, Netanyahu has disrupted Gaza cease-fire talks and agreements in a variety of ways. The question now is whether he will also choose to do so in an election year

A forced apology in the first act, a 20-point plan very light on specifics - and the hovering feeling that Netanyahu will get yet another chance to prolong the Gaza war

According to the White House plan, the IDF will hand over the parts of Gaza it controls to an international force, which will 'immediately deploy in Gaza.' Trump says he will head Gaza's international 'Board of Peace', overseeing Palestinian technocrats who will temporarily govern the postwar Strip

U.S. President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented Trump's 'New Gaza' plan to end the war in Gaza and release the hostages. Trump promised Israel will be 'fully backed' if Hamas does not adhere to the plan

While the recognition by several Western nations was widely welcomed, many say the gesture is meaningless without an end to war and famine in Gaza. 'Someone who can't find a shelter, with death surrounding him, doesn't have the luxury to care about a state,' said one Gaza City resident

Netanyahu faces rising dissent from far-right allies over Trump's Gaza plan, with Smotrich warning any compromise on Palestinian statehood is a red line that 'would endanger Israel's existence' and Ben-Gvir insisting the war cannot end without Hamas' total defeat

After reviewing Trump's official cease-fire proposal, Palestinian sources worry that a transitional international authority could establish permanent rule over Gaza, and that even after the war ends, military operations could resume under the guise of a 'security threat'
