    هلا من كندا.

    What’s your average day like now? What was it like before the war?

      Collecting firewood to cook food, suffering to get water throughout the war like this and there is no work. Before the war I had my job and my life was much better. I hope that the war will end and my life will return to being better than it was.

    Hi Mahmoud! I hope you and your family are doing well. Do you feel like this war has irrevocably radicalized everyone there or are there people in Gaza who think there can still be some deal worked out with Zionists?

    Basically, is there still support (or was there ever) for some agreement with Zionists to continue things as they were pre-07/10?

      Peace with Israel is the biggest deception because they do not know peace. They are deceiving. The people in Gaza know that. Most people knew that before the war.

    Not sure if you’re into sports but I would love to hear about football in Gaza before the war. I am vaguely familiar that there is a football league in the west bank but what was it like in Gaza ? Thanks for your time !

      Yes, there was a football league in Gaza. There was great competition between the teams in the Gaza Strip. There are more than 40 teams in the Gaza Strip. The league was excellent. There were 15 teams. It was very competitive. Also, the people of Gaza love football very much.

        Love to hear that, football is something that unites us all around the world. One day soon I hope there will be a league that encompasses all of Palestine, a country with great football culture and talent.

    Hamas and Fatah – the two main Palestinian factions which have been at odds for almost two decades – have agreed in talks in Cairo to create a committee that will jointly run the postwar Gaza Strip.

    While Israel had refused to countenance a “day after” governing scenario involving {Gaza led by Hamas} or the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority (PA) in the West Bank, the move nonetheless signifies fresh willingness from Hamas to give up its rule of Gaza and could help advance internationally mediated ceasefire talks.

    In talks brokered by Egypt, the two sides agreed on a committee of 10 to 15 politically independent technocrats, most of them from Gaza, who will administer education, health, the economy and aid and reconstruction with the help of international actors, negotiators said on Tuesday.

    What do you think? According to others and now me, this seems awfully familiar to Fatah capitulation

      There is no problem with Fatah ruling leadership in Gaza, but our fear after the end of the war is that Gaza will become like the West Bank, with Israel entering it at any time, however it wants.
