Some countries are celebrating the Ceasefire agreement between Israel and Palestine. Donald Trump, the whimsical President of United States of America claims to be the main architect and he longs for the prestigious Nobel Prize for stopping wars among various countries including India-Pakistan and the one sided Israel- Palestine war. A large number of countries including some Muslim countries mostly Arabs have also not only welcomed the Ceasefire, but also showered praises on Donald Trump for being instrumental in striking ceasefire agreement.
The whole world has witnessed the destruction and devastation of Gaza Strip right from the month of October 2023 when some mentally sick people belonging to Hamas Group attacked the innocent people in Israeli territory on October 07,2023. Making this incident a strong plea for demolishing Gaza-the Israeli eyesore in a systematic manner Israel fully supported by USA launched heavy attacks on various cities of Gaza including Hospitals, Educational Institutions, Refugee Camps, Mosques, Churches and the residential areas. They hardly spared any place. As per the available figures more than 67000 people including women and children have been killed by the Israeli Defence Forces from October 2023 onwards in different parts of Gaza. 460 people including 154 children have died of starvation and malnutrition. Ironically 2585 people are believed to have been killed during the current year from May onwards while trying to collect relief material from the Humantarian Foundation Sites. Similarly 1043 people have been killed in the West Bank by the IDF and Israeli Settlers.
Whole world except USA and very few other countries turned against the genocide and brutalities committed by Israel in Gaza and West Bank. The General Assembly and Security Council of United Nations Organisation and even the International Court of Justice passed various resolutions and orders, but to no avail. They felt helpless before the mighty USA. The unconditional continuous support of US encouraged the Prime Minister Netanyahu to spread war to Lebanon, Yemen and Islamic Republic of Iran which costed heavily for Israel.
The mounting pressure of the world on US and Israel has resulted in the present Ceasefire, but Israel still appears to be arrogant and they are still killing the innocent Palestinians on one pretext or the other. However, Ceasefire between the parties is a welcome step towards permanent solution to the age old dispute, but there is nothing much to celebrate, neither it qualifies the nomination of Donald Trump for the Nobel Prize.
