The destruction of Gaza over two years, resulting in over seventy thousand Palestinian deaths, has been met with ineffective international responses, including hollow ceasefires. Global powers, led by the US, now propose a misguided “stabilisation” effort that collaborates with Israel, the very entity responsible for Gaza’s devastation, while creating foreign-run operations to govern its future. Past experiences reveal that foreign peacekeeping missions have often failed to protect civilians and instead enabled violence, complicating the humanitarian situation. With imposed security measures and ongoing bombardments, Gaza faces an increasingly dire and chaotic existence, devoid of genuine relief or support.
