May 7, 2024, followed by the news:

(1) The conflict between Hamas and Israel in Gaza has lasted seven months. Hamas recently informed mediators Qatar and Egypt that it had accepted the armistice agreement proposed by the two sides. However, Israel currently refuses to accept this and continues its airstrikes in eastern Rafah. National Defense Forces spokesperson Daniel Hagari stressed that more than 50 targets of terrorist organizations in Rafah were targeted and called on the population of Rafah to evacuate as quickly as possible.

The agreement concluded by Hamas is divided into three phases:

The first phase: Both sides have ceased fire for 42 days, and Israel must dismantle military installations within 11 days and withdraw its troops from the Salah al-Din road, the main north-south artery, and the coastal highway. Eleven days later, Israel allowed southerners to freely return to the north. Hamas releases 33 hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails.

Second step: The two sides will implement a ceasefire for another 42 days, and the two sides will negotiate on how to restore “sustainable calm” in Gaza or so that the issue of “permanent ceasefire” be more discussed in the future. In the second phase, most Israeli troops are to withdraw completely from Gaza, and Hamas will also release some Israeli soldiers and reservists in exchange for more Palestinian prisoners.

The third phase: Both sides must return the remains of the deceased and begin reconstruction under the supervision of Qatar, Egypt and the United Nations. Israel must also end its comprehensive blockade of Gaza.

However, Israel believes that the content of this agreement has been “softened” and does not correspond to the framework previously agreed by Israel, but Israel will still send a delegation to continue negotiations. The mediators, the United States, Qatar and Egypt, said they were studying the reactions of both sides and would discuss further with their Middle East allies.

Additionally, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the war cabinet had approved the continuation of Israeli military operations in Rafah, southern Gaza. The Israeli army continued its airstrikes and shelling in eastern Rafah and even claimed to have taken control of the Rafah crossing point on the border with Egypt in southern Gaza. After the announcement of the Hamas ceasefire agreement, a series of protests took place in Israel, demanding that the Israeli government accept the agreement so that the hostages could return home as quickly as possible.

(2) The situation in Gaza also triggered a wave of protests at American universities. After the violent clashes at UCLA last week, UCLA announced that it would create a new unit on campus to specifically address campus security issues. Although some tents have been removed, the protesting students are still on campus. At MIT in Boston, students in support of Palestine broke through police barriers and continued to demonstrate on campus; some student protesters called on MIT to end cooperative research with the Israeli Defense Ministry.

At the University of Mississippi, in the southern United States, tense clashes during demonstrations gave rise to racial conflicts in the United States. On May 3, an African-American student who supported Palestine got into an argument with another group of counterprotesters at the protest square. All of these counterprotesters were white and almost male (some of them wore American clothing with the national flag). models), they verbally insulted and taunted the black students, and some deliberately imitated the movements of the monkeys, etc. The scene was quite tense for a while. On May 6, the University of Mississippi launched an investigation and found the racist behavior and language that day was unacceptable, and students were questioned.

Ironically, the state of Mississippi was one of the areas with the most severe racial conflict between blacks and whites in the 1950s and 1960s. In 1962, the University of Mississippi experienced the most severe racial conflict due to of the first black student in history. school, James. The James Meredith enlistment incident even turned into violent conflicts, and some KKK members even threatened lynching. In historical photos from this era, white students can also be seen collectively mocking black people and imitating monkey movements to humiliate them. After more than half a century, the racial problems inherent in American society have reemerged in this wave of university protests.
