History can teach us how to make Gaza ceasefire work

The US-sponsored ceasefire for Gaza was approved by the UN Security Council three months ago, yet the killing has not stopped. Since the truce supposedly began in October, at least 586 Palestinians have been killed and more than 1,000 have been injured. In Gaza, the “peace” looks remarkably like the war that preceded it, with civilians still caught in the crossfire and a humanitarian catastrophe deepening by the day. If Thursday’s Board of Peace meeting is to be anything more than a symbolic gesture, members must work on moving from a sham truce to a genuine cessation of hostilities.
