While there is "some joy" in knowing that bombs have stopped falling on Gaza, Israeli historian Ilan Pappé warns that many Israeli leaders remain committed to using violence in order to "wipe out Palestine as a nation, as a people and as a country."

“To call what Israel is doing in Gaza genocide is simply to speak the truth. Efforts to say otherwise deny the reality of what everyone can plainly see. To compare the current Israeli government to the Nazis is not antisemitism, as it might perhaps once have been, but bitter justice.” - Kevin Power

A government or a party that has no measure of accountability for failure is not a functional one. In a functional administration, all of these people would be blacklisted for the rest of their careers at the very least, not angling for new jobs.
Some Biden Aides are Shifting Their Tune on Israel
Some are changing positions because of Trump’s approach to Israel, and a few are wrestling with whether they could have done more when in charge.

What is happening in Gaza is genocide.
Those enabling it—lawmakers sending arms to Israel, officials giving it cover at the UN and international courts, the lobby groups demanding such support—aren’t just accomplices, but full participants in a crime against humanity.
They must be held to account.
