Agreement is welcome, but 'peacemakers' don't enable war crimes, including the killing of thousands of children, for most of a year, then expect Nobel prize when a ceasefire is finally achieved. Italy's PM has been referred to the ICC for much lesser enablement of war crimes.

While ending carnage is desperately needed, Keep in mind: Gaza is obliterated, with 10% of its population killed or wounded, possibly more, and with overwhelming majority rendered homeless. Could take decades just to build what has been destroyed - and that's assuming killing has really ended.

This would be very welcome, especially if it includes full ceasefire and flood of badly needed Gaza aid. But so much remains unclear, even about first phase, including point of Israeli withdrawal. Key will be measures agreed to assure that first phase doesn't become last phase.
