61 h. ago Trump’s peace plan is everything Israelis dreamed of. But it’s a fantasy | Roy Schwartz

The president’s intervention promises a return to ‘normality’ – one that appeals to Israelis unconcerned with Gaza’s futureRoy Schwartz is a senior editor and op-ed contributor at HaaretzIt didn’t take long before the Gospel of Donald became a message that everyone in Israel could embrace. The 20-point plan to end the ongoing war in Gaza, presented on Monday by the US president, is everything the Israelis had dreamed of – even fantasised about.

The “peace plan” will, supposedly, mean a return to normality.A brief read-through of the one-page plan might suggest that Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and his people were involved in phrasing it.

8 d. ago Brides review – teenage girls head to Syria for IS and marriage in powerful and poignant drama

Two friends leave the UK and head to the Turkey on their way to marry Islamic State jihadis in this spirited drama directed by Nadia FallThe phenomenon of Islamic State brides, which became a press preoccupation with the case of Shamima Begum – who 10 years ago left the UK at the age of 15 to join IS and is still in a Syrian refugee camp – is now filtering through to fictional representations; they are striving for a sympathetic, intimate way of intuiting the motives and feelings of young women who were hardly more than children when they were radicalised, and somehow get more pruriently disapproving media coverage than the male jihadis. Nussaibah Younis’s hit comic novel Fundamentally tells the story of an aid worker tasked with bringing IS brides home to the UK, and now there is this watchable comedy-drama from screenwriter Suhayla El-Bushra and director Nadia Fall.It is about two teenage girls: shy, thoughtful Doe (Ebada Hassan) and stroppy, lairy Muna (Safiyya Ingar), who make t...
