Who is sincere about ceasefire in Gaza? | Faraz Ahmad

Saturday 8 November 2025, by Faraz Ahmad

US President Donald Trump, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in tow, announced from the White House on September 29 a ceasefire of the Israeli war on the Palestinians in Gaza just a week before the completion of two years of Zionist genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, beginning October 8, 2023.

But has Israel really stopped bombing Gaza and killing Palestinians, even for a day, since that so-called ceasefire? Earlier this week, in a major assault on Gaza, it killed 104 civilians, among them 46 children and 24 women, reported the French news agency AFP. The next day, it again resorted to bombing civilians, claiming that it had targeted an arms dump, killing one civilian, the agency added, but Netanyahu claims he is implementing the ceasefire. [1]

Never mind that the United Nations
