BBC, Jeremy Bowen writes that both Israel and Hamas have claimed victory in the media as the conflict between both sides is only paused. “Like the previous rounds of fighting between Israel and Hamas, the ceasefire is just a pause. The conflict is not just unresolved. It is not even frozen. The ceasefire will hold until it is tested by a crisis. That could be a rocket fired out of Gaza, or more Israeli police violence towards Palestinians in Jerusalem … or it could be the lawsuit brought by Jewish settler groups to evict Palestinians from their homes in Sheikh Jarrah.”
