The Spin


Pro-Palestine narrative

After weeks of bombardment and blockade, the limited opening of the Rafah border crossing is a welcome move — allowing those who are seriously injured to seek immediate medical treatment, as well as allowing dual nationals to escape. However, too many in Gaza remain perilously close to death in this humanitarian catastrophe.


Pro-Israel narrative

After Hamas' attack on Israel, the country was right to launch a war on the terror organization and seek to root it out. However, the war has also caused significant hardships on civilians so this deal mediated by Qatar is welcomed by Israel.
