Neither Palestinians nor Israelis will enjoy freedom, dignity and security unless the solution includes rights and justice for all. Perpetuating Palestinian suffering and subjugation is a route to further disaster. 9/

Third party states should not have anything to do with this absent radical, root and branch change. The aim must be clear - to have Palestinians in charge of their own destiny in Gaza and the West Bank, with no occupation, and no foreign colonial control. 8/

There is no clear endgame or horizon even for statehood. No commitment to Palestinian self-determination, national and human rights. There is no accountablity mechanism of any form. Above all no affirmation of Palestinian sovereignty over Gaza. 7/

The 20 points contain no guarantee or timeline of Israel withdrawing all forces from Gaza. There is no commitment to end its control of the air or sea. There is no reference to port, airport or safe passage to Gaza. Israeli will not be ending its 58 year old occupation. 6/

But beyond this, it actually reinforces the Israeli occupation and hold over Gaza, conveniently through proxy forces who will be an instrument of the occupation not a facilitator of Palestinian liberation. How come? 5/

If we get to a ceasefire, a release of hostages, both Israeli and Palestinian, & the entry of aid into Gaza at scale then this has to be seen as a positive. The genocide will be on hold and the famine can start to be addressed. 4/

So it is a diktat. It is not a done deal. It is not one that has been agreed by all sides. It excludes the Palestinian Authority, ensuring the West Bank and Gaza remind divided, a key Netanyahu aim. 3/

This is a surrender or die deal offered to Hamas. Take it and their leaders can live and leave. Amnesties are available but it would be disarmed and out of power. Refuse, and Trump was clear that Netanyahu will have total US support for Israel to “finish the job”. Chilling. 2/
