Inhumane Israeli - US backed GHF aid system.

From who? Who guarantees that all those released terrorists dont regroup and rearm and attack again?

Indeed, they were useful in so many ways.

Not the only reason they dug tunnels. Hamas's intent has NEVER been purely defensive. They dug tunnels to facilitate smuggling ftom which they gain a huge amount of wealth; to smuggle weapons in undetected by Israel; to conceal command centres and hide weapons; to launch offensive attacks and provde a network of tunnels to hide hostages.

That's obvious: Hamas built tunnels to defend Hamas, not the Palestinian people, Hamas.

They dug the tunnels in Gaza because they knew that if Israel wanted to attack, the tunnels were the best way to defend themselves. Same with Hezbollah, tunnels and caves. Those tunnels were to help fight a defensive war. Viet Cong did it.

That didn't stop Hamas arming itself and digging in under Gaza for over the last couple of decades, it's why it's so difficult to get building supplies; they're repurposed for tunnel and weapon building.

What do you think has changed?

It wasnt an unconditional truce though was it? In exchange for releasing all Hamas prisoners, including convicted terrorists? Noone in their right mind would agree to that because there is no way Hamas would have honoured it.

Of course they won't, they'll be under strict scrutiny, as will be Israel.

A 5-year truce is 5 years for Hamas to regroup, rebuild, and rearm. That's not a long-term solution for the region.

A 5 year truce is 5 years of no fighting. It's a good start. Certainly preferable to the situation today.

I asked for credible suggestions.

Israel weren't expected to distribute aid. They banned everyone else from doing it though and they have responsibilities towards the people that they occupy. At least you are open about the fact that Palestinians are their 'enemy' not just Hamas, so many people pretend that this is all about Hamas despite all of the evidence to the contrary so kudos for the honesty.

And yes Ukraine gives aid to people they occupy as international law dictates.

Would any other country be expected to give aid to its enemy? Gaza clearly has enough resources for its almost constant rocket bombardment of Israel so it ought to sort out its own aid distribution.

Hamas also offered a 5 year truce in April this year.

Marwan Barghouti for a start. But he's in Jail.

Who is credibly offering Israel security and non-aggression?

It would be a first step in a process if there were a guarantee that it would be followed up with meaningful talks about resolving the conflict that has been going on for decades. That includes recognition of both Israel and a Palestinian state. Unfortunately the current Israeli government, despite being offered security and non-aggression if it goes back to its 1967 borders, is not interested in a Palestinian state.
And so the shitshow, as you accurately describe it, it will go on.

Apologies for the late response. Totally agree it wouldn't be a magic bullet, but I do see it as an essential first step in getting away from the current utter shitshow.
I find your username... intriguing.

The whole thing is an utter shambles and dangerous to boot.
The UN should have been allowed to do what they do best and distribute this aid fairly and quickly. Instead more Palestinians have been shot dead and more families ripped apart.

Inhumane describes it perfectly.

Apparently Hamas has murdered five Palestinian GHF workers and possibly kidnapped others. Given the way Sinwar and others have treated alleged collaborators in the past, I dread what might happen to any Palestinian GHF worker taken hostage.

Meanwhile, the GHF has already delivered millions of meals directly and for free to the people of Gaza.

Well, the UK official statement is loud and clear. Inhumane is the description.
This is not a one politician statement, but their official statement on their website and the UN. What else should it say? UK officials are usually rather mild in their statements, but this one could not be clearer: inhumane.
Also (being selfish here sorry), but why should we in the West remain silent when IS and ISIS groups are being armed? We had terrorists attacks on our own soil. I think we have plenty of reasons to oppose such a thing ( which is the reason I am not quite getting what is happening in Syria....). And is this type of groups who are named as responsible for other conflicts, like Sudan and Congo. Lets not mention Afghanistan...........
