The ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip officially came into effect on Sunday morning, marking the end of 471 days of relentless military aggression by Israeli occupation forces on the besieged enclave. Airstrikes on Gaza continued until Zionist Prime Minister Netanyahu's office confirmed that the ceasefire would commence at 11:15 AM local time (9:15 GMT).
Throughout the 15-month genocide on Gaza by Israel, President Joe Biden, adamantly refused to apply any pressure on Israel, while Netanyahu repeatedly humiliated Biden by violating red line after red line set by him and in his ludicrous defence, leaked stories to the press about how angry he was with Netanyahu as Netanyahu thumbed his nose at him, again and again. Biden dutifully sated his Zionist cravings by sending more and more arms, including 2,000-pound bombs to be dropped on civilians, in complicity with the carnage.
Conflicting news reports emerged, and with them, the brutal Israeli strikes intensified on the homes and tents of the innocent. Israeli warplanes launched attacks that reminded Gazans of the days of fire and violent strikes at the beginning of the war.
