Give Peace a chance, take eight.

You would think that the UN resolution  to make peace in Gaza would get headlines, but in most of the news is is the second or third headline.

BBC puts it below two posts on AI stuff.

The UN Security Council has voted in favour of a US-drafted resolution that endorses US President Donald Trump's 20-point plan for Gaza.
Included in the plan is the establishment of an International Stabilisation Force (ISF), to which, the US says, multiple unnamed countries have offered to contribute.
The resolution was backed by 13 countries - including the UK, France and Somalia - with none voting against the proposal. Russia and China abstained. Adopting it was an "important step in the consolidation of the ceasefire", a spokesperson for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said.
Hamas has rejected the resolution, saying it fails to meet Palestinians' rights and demands.

....... Bit Hamas of course doesn't want peace: They want their soldiers to stay in charge. And ironically the usually pro Hamas AlJ posted a photo of their thugs to emphasize the story.

HotAir, a right wing opinion site, explains:

What this vote really sets up the next part of this plan, which is the creation of a security force designed to enter Gaza and disarm Hamas. but Israel has also complained about some of the language in the framework adopted today.

well, they have been trying to make peace in the areas for 70 years, and it always fell apart because of the extremists. Heck, even Netanyahu is trying to stop his rabid settlers from burning down mosques and terrorizing folk in the West Bank, so not all of Israel's arrests and violence are self defense.


But hey, maybe this time it will work. But I won't hold my breath...
