The editorial
Source: The Times of India · 22 May 2021After 11 days of intense fighting, Israel and Hamas have finally agreed to a ceasefire brokered by the US, Egypt, Qatar among others. The hostilities, which have claimed at least 232 Palestinian lives including 65 children with the death toll in Israel reaching 12, could have seriously gone out of hand had the Israeli armed forces launched a full-scale ground operation into Gaza. On the other hand, Hamas launching thousands of rockets into Israel in recent days was beginning to affect Israeli public mood and political calculus. Focus must now shift to the huge task of rebuilding Gaza and providing relief to its residents while ensuring that the truce holds on the ground.
