"Israel is continuing to lay siege to Gaza despite the “ceasefire” that officially took effect on October 10. On a daily basis, Israeli forces attack Palestinians in the enclave, killing more than 340 since President Donald Trump hailed his “peace” plan as a monumental accomplishment that would usher in a new era. The majority of the dead are women and children. Over the past week, Israeli forces, which still occupy more than 50% of Gaza, have penetrated deeper across the “yellow line” and Israel is threatening to restart its full-scale siege if Hamas does not disarm and surrender. Israel has also refused to allow in the agreed upon food, medicine and other life essentials to the enclave.

On November 17, in an unprecedented move, the UN Security Council formally endorsed Trump’s neo-colonialist plan for Gaza, including the deployment of an international force that would fall not under the command the UN, but operate at the direction of private board controlled by Trump. This force, according to Trump, would be tasked with disarming the Palestinian resistance and demilitarizing Gaza in an effort to strip Palestinians of their right to self defense.

In the latest in Drop Site’s series on the Palestinian resistance since October 7, Palestinian resistance leaders reflect on the path that got them here. We conducted a series of in-person interviews with senior officials from Hamas and Islamic Jihad. They discussed the events that led up to the October ceasefire agreement, their position on disarmament and Trump’s Gaza plan, and described how they see the state of the Palestinian liberation struggle. This report from Jeremy Scahill and Jawa Ahmad is a long and detailed read, but we believe it is well worth your time. The failure of most Western media outlets to report on the perspective of the Palestinian resistance is journalistic malpractice and a disservice to public understanding."
