TEHRAN – The scale of death in Gaza has reached a level that is almost impossible to comprehend, yet the world continues to treat it as an abstraction. In comments reported by Anadolu, Stuart Casey Maslen, head of the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights, warned that Gaza’s population has declined by more than 10 percent since Israel launched war on the enclave on October 7, 2023.

TEHRAN – After two years of closure, the Rafah land crossing has once again come into the spotlight. 

The gap between ceasefire claims and reality in Gaza

TEHRAN – For many Palestinians, the word “ceasefire” has become little more than a diplomatic illusion amid Israel’s unrelenting strikes in the Gaza Strip. Since a truce was announced in October, Israeli attacks have killed more than 500 Palestinians in Gaza.

The choreography of cruelty: Rafah's ‘trial’ reopening and the performance of siege

TEHRAN – The Rafah border crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt reopened on Sunday “on a trial basis” after being nearly completely sealed for more than two years under the Israeli blockade. The limited reopening, announced by Israeli authorities, underscores the ongoing control Israel exercises over Palestinian life, even amid a so-called ceasefire.

Self-defense or slaughter: U.S. arms drive Israel’s Gaza carnage

TEHRAN – The United States has approved more than $6.6 billion in new arms sales to Israel even as Israeli forces continue to violate a Washington-brokered ceasefire announced in October last year. The State Department confirmed that Israel will receive 30 Apache attack helicopters and other U.S.-made military vehicles, despite the fact that these same systems have been repeatedly used against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Israel’s admission of Gaza death toll shatters its own denial

TEHRAN — A quiet admission from a senior Israeli military official has opened a door Israel has tried to keep shut for two years. By acknowledging that around 71,000 people have been killed in Gaza, the official effectively confirmed what the Gaza Health Ministry has been reporting since the start of the war.

Indonesia tests the limits of a decades-long doctrine by joining Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’

JAKARTA – Indonesia’s decision to sign US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace (BoP) charter in Davos marks a defining moment for President Prabowo Subianto’s foreign policy, revealing a strategic shift from traditional multilateralism toward calculated maneuvering within an emerging parallel global order.

Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’: A colonial blueprint for Gaza’s future

The Resist US-Led War Movement stands in resolute opposition to the Trump administration's attempt to repackage the genocide of the Palestinian people into a financial venture under its newly unveiled "Board of Peace." This so-called board, launched at the Davos summit, is a colonial blueprint for Gaza’s future, a direct assault on international law in an attempt to once again bend the world to the will of US imperialism.

Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ for Gaza and the monetization of ruins

GOA — Gaza today is not emerging from conflict; it is still being crushed by its consequences. Entire neighbourhoods have been erased, civilians displaced en masse, famine conditions allowed to fester, and allegations of international crimes hang unresolved over the ruins. Any serious discussion of Gaza’s future would begin with a ceasefire, accountability, and the restoration of Palestinian political agency. Trump’s so-called “Board of Peace” begins elsewhere. It begins with money, authority, and control.

Israel continues attacks in Gaza in violation of October ceasefire

The new mandate of recolonizing Gaza: ‘Peace’ boards and the architecture of erasure

GOA — In the lexicon of modern geopolitics, language is rarely used to describe reality; more often, it is used to camouflage it. The emergence of proposals such as a "Gaza Board of Peace" represents a sophisticated linguistic pivot—a transition from the raw violence of military occupation to the sterile, bureaucratic violence of recolonization. By framing the administration of Gaza as a "peace-building" initiative, proponents are attempting to revive the Mandate System of the early 20th century, effectively stripping a population of its agency under the guise of humanitarian necessity.
