In war-battered Gaza, heavy rain flooded and damaged thousands of tents. Several people died. Could pressure by Trump's Board of Peace on Israel and Hamas help to ease the humanitarian crisis amid stalled peace talks?
The formation of a new Israeli government won’t stop the killing, but sustained international pressure must be applied What do you call a ceasefire when the firing has not ceased? The killings in Gaza decreased when the truce was announced last October, but they did not end.
