  • Out of interest who will pay to rebuild Gaza? Not the potential kushner/trumpian condos, but the hospitals, schools and other key infrastructure people need to live. As I’m guessing that moneys not coming from what used to be USAID nor the neighbours involved in making several millions homeless if they were lucky - so who will or can provide the capital needed?

  • I dunno the UN or something. WHO could set up hospitals, NGOs could rebuild the refugee camps. Or we could recognise the genocide and fine Israel for it under threat of sanctions. Why?

  • What threat (and the many many current sanctions) of UN sanctions has ever made any difference to Israel, especially as they have US backing.

  • Because i’d imagine it probably matters, for it’s future and for the politics of the region. Field hospitals and refugee camps are one thing, but can they cope with the population density there? Previous hamas supporters in Iran and Lebanon I guess have their own problems to deal with, and whilst Egypt and other Middle Eastern neighbours don’t want an even bigger refugee crises will they stump up to rebuild? Gulf states and Saudi seem likely but what will they want in return apart from solidifying their soft power. Does it give China an opportunity to build influence in the region.

    Who’s actually going to fine Israel? UN isn’t able to actually do much, and nobody seems to have much appetite to cut ties.
