NEW GAZA PEACE DEAL 

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) cautiously welcomes the recent ceasefire agreement in Gaza, brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump, Turkey, Egypt and Qatar with a sense of historical skepticism. While the deal marks a significant step toward ending the devastating conflict, the EFF remains apprehensive due to Israel’s historical pattern of violating agreements and the uncertainties surrounding the implementation of this new deal. 

The ceasefire agreement, signed on October 9 in Egypt, under Trump’s 20-point plan, outlines several key provisions. These include the release of all living Israeli hostages held by Hamas in exchange for approximately 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, including 250 serving life sentences and 1,700 detained. 

This exchange is to occur within 72 hours of the Israeli military’s withdrawal from designated areas in Gaza. Additionally, Israeli forces have committed to pulling back to pre-designated lines within Gaza, a process initiated promptly following the agreement’s approval.  The agreement also facilitates the entry of humanitarian assistance into Gaza, aiming to alleviate the suffering of its 2.4 million residents. 

Furthermore, a transitional Palestinian administration, composed of technocrats and supervised by an international “Board of Peace,” is to oversee Gaza’s governance, with “potential pathways” toward Palestinian self-determination and statehood contingent upon the successful implementation of the plan. 

Despite the agreement’s ambitious framework, several critical aspects remain vague. The plan lacks clear, binding measures to ensure compliance from Israel, raising concerns about its long-term viability. Specifics regarding the disarmament of Hamas and the dismantling of military infrastructure in Gaza are not comprehensively addressed. 

While the agreement mentions an economic development plan, it provides limited details on the reconstruction of Gaza’s devastated infrastructure and the provision of essential services to its residents. Furthermore, the self determination of Palestinians is not addressed as they are to simply be governed until some arbitrary conditions are met for them to self govern. This is not freedom but a continued occupation. 

The involvement of Trump in brokering this deal also raises additional concerns. Trump’s foreign policy actions are often unpredictable and controversial, leading to questions about the sustainability and fairness of this agreement. His administration’s track record does not inspire confidence in the long-term success of this peace initiative. Nevertheless, there is a glimmer of hope as many Gaza residents begin to return to their homes, and efforts toward reconstruction and stabilisation commence. 

The EFF remains vigilant and committed to supporting the Palestinian people’s right to selfdetermination and the end of Israel’s occupation. 

We will, therefore, continue to monitor the implementation of this agreement closely and advocate for the rights and dignity of all Palestinians.

CAPE TOWN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT @KASIBCNEWS Please see attached soundbites in English and Afrikaans by Dr Chris Hunsinger MP @KASIBCAUDIO  The DA will request an urgent Parliamentary Portfolio Committee hearing on the ongoing and growing breakdowns of service at South Africa’s major airports. Minister Creecy and the senior management of ACSA must be called to report to committee on the scope of the brewing crisis, and their plans to address it. It is unacceptable that flights are being grounded at South African airports due to failures by entities within the Department of Transport. It simply cannot continue. This week, flights were delayed and diverted at Cape Town International Airport due to a fuel pump failure under the management of Airports Company South Africa (ACSA). Earlier this month, alarming reports revealed that ACSA has fuel supply at OR Tambo International Airport only until the end of January 2025, raising grave concerns about operational stability in February.
