International Efforts to Address the Future of Gaza Amidst Ongoing Conflict: Reviving the Two-State Solution and Establishing Security

The conflict in Gaza continues to escalate, with no clear end in sight. The situation has led to discussions among international policymakers and diplomats about what could be done to bring about an end to the fighting and establish a stable future for the region. In recent weeks, EU foreign ministers have discussed plans for ‘the day after’ the fighting stops in Gaza, with a focus on reviving discussions about a two-state solution. The UK is focusing on supporting the Palestinian Authority in order to potentially help govern post-war Gaza. Meanwhile, Israel is denying tax revenues from the Palestinian Authority and threatening to cut Palestinian banks off from their Israeli counterparts. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant wants Palestinian entities to take control of Gaza with international assistance, while Benny Gantz threatens to resign if Benjamin Netanyahu does not agree a six-point plan for governing Gaza. The US is putting pressure on Arab states to agree an international force that could establish security in Gaza in the short term, but only if there is a political process in place. However, Benjamin Netanyahu refuses to discuss ‘the day after’ apart from opposing any role for the Palestinian Authority. As discussions and plans continue to be developed, it remains unclear what the future holds for Gaza and the surrounding regions.

How does this end? With Hamas holding firm and fighting back in Gaza, Israel faces only bad options

The Associated Press News Thursday, 23 May 2024 08:10
  • Unique Points
    • Hamas is regrouping in some areas of northern Gaza and resuming rocket attacks into nearby Israeli communities after seven months of war with Israel.
    • Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Benny Gantz, Netanyahu’s main political rival, demanded detailed postwar plans from Netanyahu due to concerns over prolonged occupation or withdrawal that would leave Hamas in control.
    • Netanyahu has promised a ‘total victory’ against Hamas and dismantling its military capabilities but faces opposition to full-scale military occupation due to immense costs and potential international responsibility for providing services.
    • A grand bargain involving a reformed Palestinian Authority governing Gaza with assistance from Arab and Muslim nations in return for normalizing relations with Israel is being proposed but hinges on Israel committing to a credible path to eventual Palestinian statehood.
    • Hamas has proposed a phased agreement in which it would release all hostages in return for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, lengthy cease-fire and reconstruction. This would leave Hamas in control of Gaza and potentially allow it to rebuild military capabilities.
  • Accuracy
    No Contradictions at Time Of Publication
  • Deception (30%)
    The article contains selective reporting and emotional manipulation. The author presents only the perspectives of two Israeli generals and their opposition to various post-war plans, while omitting any mention of Palestinian viewpoints or alternatives. The title itself is emotionally manipulative, implying that Hamas' resistance is a problem for Israel rather than a response to Israeli aggression. Additionally, the author uses language like 'grinding struggle' and 'growing feeling among many Israelis that their military faces only bad options,' which creates an emotional response without providing factual evidence.
    • They are also opposed to a withdrawal that would leave Hamas in control or lead to the establishment of a Palestinian state.
    • Diminished but not deterred, Hamas is still putting up a fight after seven brutal months of war with Israel, regrouping in some of the hardest-hit areas in northern Gaza and resuming rocket attacks into nearby Israeli communities.
    • But now the two retired generals fear a prolonged, costly re-occupation of Gaza, from which Israel withdrew soldiers and settlers in 2005.
  • Fallacies (85%)
    The article contains several instances of appeals to authority and inflammatory rhetoric. The authors quote retired generals and Israeli politicians making statements about the potential outcomes of the conflict, implying that their opinions hold weight due to their military backgrounds. This is an appeal to authority fallacy as it assumes that because someone holds a certain position or title, their opinion is automatically valid or correct. Additionally, phrases such as 'grinding struggle', 'growing feeling among many Israelis that their military faces only bad options', and 'rebellion in recent days' use emotive language to inflame the reader and create a sense of urgency. This is an example of inflammatory rhetoric, which can manipulate emotions and cloud judgment.
    • Amir Avivi, a retired Israeli general and former deputy commander of the Gaza division, says that’s only the beginning. He said Israel would need to remain in control to prevent Hamas from regrouping.
    • , 'rebellion in recent days'
    • Most Israelis are opposed, pointing to the immense costs of stationing thousands of troops in the territory that is home to 2.3 million Palestinians.

Gaza war: What does victory look like for the US and Israel?

Al Jazeera Media Network Ali Harb Sunday, 26 May 2024 05:01
  • Unique Points
    None Found At Time Of Publication
  • Accuracy
    • Israel's war in Gaza shows no sign of ending soon.
    • Israel has said it is seeking an 'total victory' against Hamas and dismantling its military capabilities.
  • Deception (30%)
    The article contains several instances of selective reporting and emotional manipulation. The author quotes Osamah Khalil stating that 'Israel is looking to achieve is simply erasure and expulsion. That's what they want here.' This statement implies that Israel's intentions are to forcibly remove Palestinians from Gaza, which could be seen as a form of ethnic cleansing. However, the author fails to mention that Khalil is a history professor at Syracuse University and an expert on Middle Eastern politics, making his opinion biased and potentially influential. Additionally, the article uses emotional language such as 'pain and dispossession' to describe the situation in Gaza without providing any context or evidence. This manipulates readers' emotions rather than presenting factual information.
    • Israel is looking to achieve is simply erasure and expulsion. That's what they want here.
    • Palestinians fear that the war on Gaza is slowly becoming the status quo – another lengthy chapter of pain and dispossession in Palestine’s history.

  • Bias (5%)
    The author expresses a clear bias against Israel by stating that their objectives in Gaza align with those of the US but also implies that Israel's actions amount to erasure and expulsion of Palestinians, which is a loaded term. The author also uses language such as 'mass displacement' and 'ethnic cleansing', which are highly charged terms with negative connotations.
    • And last year, the newspaper Israel Hayom reported that Netanyahu tapped one of his aides to work on a plan to 'thin out' the population in Gaza.
      • Israel is looking to achieve is simply erasure and expulsion. That's what they want here.
        • Some far-right Israeli ministers have openly called for displacing Palestinians from Gaza. Other officials have urged the 'voluntary migration' of the territory’s residents.

          A look at Israel’s postwar Gaza options as Hamas attempts to regroup

          The Times of Israel Sunday, 26 May 2024 05:06
          • Unique Points
            • Israel initially made tactical advances against Hamas but those gains have given way to a grinding struggle against an adaptable insurgency.
            • Two members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s war cabinet, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Benny Gantz, demanded detailed postwar plans from Netanyahu due to concerns over prolonged and costly reoccupation of Gaza or leaving Hamas in control.
            • Operation aimed at toppling the Hamas regime in Gaza, destroying the terror group, and freeing hostages has seen one of the heaviest bombing campaigns in recent history with a cost of 286 Israeli soldiers’ lives.
            • The fighting has caused widespread devastation, disrupted humanitarian aid deliveries and pushed parts of Gaza into famine according to UN’s World Food Program.
            • Netanyahu and his government have faced criticism for their refusal to make plans for the management of Gaza after the war.
          • Accuracy
            • Hamas is regrouping in some areas of northern Gaza and resuming rocket attacks into nearby Israeli communities after seven months of war with Israel.
          • Deception (30%)
            The article contains selective reporting as it only reports details that support the author's position of Israel facing bad options in Gaza. It also uses emotional manipulation by describing the devastation caused by the war and the suffering of Palestinians, which is intended to elicit an emotional response from readers. The author also makes editorializing statements such as 'Israel faces only bad options' and 'drawing comparisons with US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan'.
            • drawing comparisons with US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
            • The fighting, which has pitched Israeli forces against Hamas gunmen embedded in civilian infrastructure including hospitals and schools, has caused widespread devastation, disrupted humanitarian aid deliveries and, according to the UN’s World Food Program, pushed parts of the territory into famine.
            • Israel faces only bad options
          • Fallacies (75%)
            The article contains several fallacies. Firstly, the author uses a dichotomous depiction by framing Israel's options as only 'full-scale military occupation' or 'withdrawal that would leave Hamas in control or lead to the establishment of a Palestinian state.' This is a false dichotomy as it ignores other potential options. Secondly, the author appeals to authority by citing retired general Amir Avivi's opinion as fact. Thirdly, the author uses inflammatory rhetoric by describing Hamas as 'adaptable insurgency' and 'terror group.' Lastly, the author commits a fallacy of division by assuming that because some members of Netanyahu's coalition support permanent occupation, Netanyahu himself supports it.
            • Israel initially made tactical advances against Hamas after powerful aerial strikes paved the way for its ground troops. But those early gains have given way to a grinding struggle against an adaptable insurgency — and a growing feeling among many Israelis that their military faces only bad options, drawing comparisons with US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
            • Amir Avivi, a retired Israeli general and former deputy commander of the Gaza division, says that’s only the beginning.
            • Far-right members of Netanyahu’s governing coalition, who hold the key to his remaining in power, have called for permanent occupation,
          • Bias (80%)
            The article expresses a clear bias towards the Israeli perspective in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. The author describes Hamas as an 'adaptable insurgency' and 'terror group', while also mentioning their past actions such as kidnapping Israeli soldiers and launching rocket attacks into nearby communities. The article also mentions that some Israelis feel their military faces only bad options, drawing comparisons with US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Additionally, the author quotes retired generals Yoav Gallant and Benny Gantz expressing their concerns about a prolonged occupation of Gaza or a withdrawal that would leave Hamas in control. The article also mentions Netanyahu's refusal to make plans for the management of Gaza after the war and his coalition's opposition to a Palestinian state. These biased statements are presented without any counter-arguments or perspectives from Hamas or Palestinians.
            • Hamas is still putting up a fight after seven brutal months of war with Israel, regrouping in some of the hardest-hit areas in northern Gaza and resuming rocket attacks into nearby Israeli communities.
              • The operation, aimed at toppling the Hamas regime in Gaza, destroying the terror group, and freeing the hostages has seen one of the heaviest bombing campaigns in recent history.
