Pretty telling about how messy negotiations are: Do Israel-backed militias count as Israeli forces, and are covered by ceasefire? Or would an agreement leave them completely unprotected in Gaza? Unlikely they will get evacuated.

Big if true: Both U.S. and Qatari position might be shifting enough to facilitate an agreement.
Still alot of open question if all sides follow through, and how U.S. would react if agreement is violated / no peace process initiated after.

Public opinion doesn't directly influence legal or academic debates, but it does indicate what the ceiling for protesters and organizers is. Especially when this cuts across political camps like few other topic - and the overall trend is also clear.

There will always be somewhat separate political, judicial, academic debates of what constitutes genocide or not. The public debate, meanwhile, seems all but decided: Even in Germany, 62% of respondents consider Israel's conduct in Gaza a genocide.

Even relative to Gazas total population, casualty rates are extreme and in many ways unprecedented.

Wer lieber liest, kann auch in die @wienerzeitung.at schauen. Dort geht es u.A. um diese Frage, die in den USA nächstes Jahr wichtig werden wird: Wie kann man Autokraten in unfairen Wahlen die Macht wieder wegnehmen? Knappe Siege reichen wohl nicht.

If essentially the entire population lives below dietary requirements, for what will soon be two years, this will cause lasting damage to their bodies, social structures and overall lives. The weakest dead, or suffering from lifetime illnesses and short lifespans. The strongest victim to an "aid"

Also: Regime change through popular uprisings amid war is a historical anomaly. Never rule out anything, but chances of a revolution in Iran are lower, certainly not higher, in the middle of war.

Something I tried to argue in this interview: evacuation orders only work if civilians believe them, i.e. trust and reputation matter. Israeli conduct in Gaza, however, damaged both.

The quickest way to resolve this would be U.S. Intervention, either to support Israeli attempts at destroying Fordo, or forcing it to the negotiation table.
This way, though, will likely result in exhausting either Iranian missiles or Israeli interceptors first.

Interesting reporting by the NYT which seems to indicate that this weekend might see the point where either Iran runs out of missiles or Israel out of interceptors. Unless, of course, external actors join
