But UK media have enabled this latest lie</span> </a> </h2> <div class="content"> <div class="field field-field-text"><p>The world’s gaze has shifted away from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/topics/israel-genocide-gaza" target="_blank">Gaza</a>&nbsp;and it was seemingly relegated in importance. After all, a little over two years after the 7 October attacks, with Israel’s unforgiving campaign of annihilation, a ceasefire was reached.&nbsp;</p> <p>Brokered by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/us" target="_blank">US</a>&nbsp;President Donald Trump, negotiations culminated in a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/10/13/world-leaders-gather-in-egypt-for-signing-of-gaza-ceasefire-deal" target="_blank">ceremony</a>&nbsp;in Egypt on 13 October that celebrated "peace in the Middle East". The president&nbsp;<a href="https://news.sky.com/story/trump-says-prayers-of-millions-answered-as-he-hails-peace-in-the-middle-east-13449671" target="_blank">hailed</a>&nbsp;the "historic day" and insisted he’d "achieved what everybody said was impossible".</p> <p>On Tuesday, that arrangement was in serious jeopardy. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sanctioned a series of air strikes on Gaza,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-unleashes-wave-attacks-across-gaza-latest-truce-violation" target="_blank">killing</a>&nbsp;over 100&nbsp;Palestinians including 47 children. Suddenly the ceasefire that had held resolutely was on the brink.&nbsp;</p> <p>Or so&nbsp;<a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/uk" target="_blank">the UK</a>&nbsp;mainstream media characterised events in the region.&nbsp;</p> <p>Across the broadcast and press realm, the story was told using the same lens. In its live feed, the BBC&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c891ex72nj7t" target="_blank">stated</a>&nbsp;the Israeli strikes were a "test" of the ceasefire. The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/28/returned-body-parts-were-of-hostage-recovered-two-years-ago-israel-says" target="_blank">Guardian</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://archive.ph/BjFK2" target="_blank">The Times</a>&nbsp;opted for the same framing, language that was also echoed by&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/LBCNews/status/1983210065361285418" target="_blank">LBC</a>.&nbsp;<a href="https://news.sky.com/story/blasts-reported-after-benjamin-netanyahu-orders-israeli-military-to-carry-out-powerful-strikes-in-gaza-13459403" target="_blank">Sky News</a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ft.com/content/f2b25bc1-58ac-40cc-96c1-756672fee14e" target="_blank">Financial Times</a>&nbsp;highlighted the sign of its "fragility".</p> <h3>Read more:&nbsp;<a data-qa="message_attachment_title_link" href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/there-was-never-ceasefire-or-peace-gaza" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Israel's genocide in Gaza never stopped.
