INSIGHT

Ceasefire As A Photo-Op, Not Relief

  • Belal calls the ceasefire a performative lie that reduces but does not stop daily attacks and restricts rebuilding resources.
  • He says borders remain closed, materials blocked, and civilians still die from exposure and lack of aid.
INSIGHT

Policy That Enforces Displacement

  • Belal warns the reopening rules forbid return for those who left before October 7, describing it as a ‘new Nakba.’
  • He frames this policy as engineered displacement rather than spontaneous evacuation.
ANECDOTE

Loss Of Faith In International Justice

  • Belal recounts growing distrust of international institutions after seeing leaders like Netanyahu travel freely despite indictments.
