In Context Briefing – Gaza Speaks: Realities Behind the Ceasefire

The ceasefire in Gaza is proving in many ways to be a ceasefire in name only. Despite headlines promising peace, Israeli forces have killed more than 600 Palestinians in Gaza—including over 100 children—since the ceasefire was announced, injuring hundreds more in daily strikes and incursions. At the same time, humanitarian access and travel remain obstructed, and more than a million Palestinians are displaced amid catastrophic conditions.

While proponents of the U.S.-led peace plan frame it as a diplomatic breakthrough, experts warn that the resolution may codify a new form of externally imposed governance that sidelines Palestinian political agency. Among the most controversial elements is the proposed “Board of Peace,” a governing body that critics warn could institutionalize foreign management of Gaza rather than promote Palestinian agency and self-determination.

Join us on Wednesday, March 11 at 2:00 pm ET / 8:00 pm Jerusalem time for Gaza Speaks, an In Context Briefing, to cut through official narratives and examine what this ceasefire may ultimately represent. Featuring voices from Gaza alongside international legal, humanitarian, and policy analysts, the conversation will explore how Palestinians affected by the two-year genocide in Gaza might leverage this fragile pause to demand accountability, rebuild their communities, and press for a just and rights-respecting future. 

The briefing will be a live dialogue moderated by Daniel Nerenberg, Just Vision’s Education and Communications Specialist, and feature the following speakers:

• Diana Buttu, Policy Member at Al-Shabaka, lawyer, and former PLO legal advisor
• Mohammed R. Mhawish, Palestinian journalist and writer from Gaza, currently living in exile
• Bushra Khalidi, Policy Lead in the Occupied Palestinian Territory at Oxfam
• Sami Abu Salem, Palestinian journalist and IFJ Safety Trainer based in Gaza
