Hello and welcome to this week's Independent Voices roundup!
In the wake of 15 gruelling months of conflict, a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas has finally been reached, signaling an end — at least for now — to the devastating war in Gaza. While this is a moment to breathe, it is not one to rest. The road to lasting peace is paved with complexities, compromises, and no shortage of global scrutiny.
Mary Dejevsky examines the fragile state of Israeli politics, warning that the chaos is far from over if Benjamin Netanyahu's government collapses. Meanwhile, Ammar Kaskeen, reporting from northern Gaza, shares his fears as bombs continue to fall, reflecting the terror of the critical last hours before the truce takes effect.
World affairs editor Sam Kiley warns that a messy ceasefire offering opportunities for more fighting is unlikely to hold – because extremists on both sides think they're winning. And finally, our editorial highlights the difficult truth about peacemaking, whether in Gaza or Ukraine: meaningful resolution requires unpalatable choices. But, as we argue, the cost of war makes compromise a necessity, not a concession.
Until next week!
