The aid truck incident proves: "the day after" the war happens here and now. The US warns Israel that it will be held responsible for the humanitarian disaster, but the reactions indicate a disdain for the seriousness of the situation.
The disaster illustrated the combination between the hunger that is spreading throughout the Gaza Strip and the complete disintegration of law and order, and the takeover of humanitarian aid by armed gangs. Even before the tragedy in Gaza this morning, President Biden desperately needed a cease-fire. He wanted to bring about the release of the abductees and also take the war in Gaza off the headlines.
