🇵🇱🇺🇦 Poland and Ukraine have agreed to exhume Volyn massacre victims. The procedure is set to begin in April.

In 1943, UPA carried out a series of massacres in the Volyn and Eastern Galicia regions, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 100,000 Polish civilians. The massacre has impacted relations between both countries, as Poland recognises it as a genocide and Ukraine as a conflict in which both sides were responsible, with Polish government and opposition officials stating that Kyiv won’t join any alliance until the issue is resolved. In an opinion poll carried out by the Mieroszewski Center, the percentage of Ukrainians having a good opinion of Poles has decreased from 67% to 44.5% in the past year.

🇮🇱🇵🇸🇶🇦🇺🇸 In the last hours, there are rumours of a hostage deal between Israel and Hamas, which could pave the way for a ceasefire.

The US is pressing for a deal before Donald Trump takes office on 20 January. Through Trump’s Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, Netanyahu has been forced to accept compromises. While the Israeli PM had been pushing for a temporary ceasefire that only related to the first phase of the three-stage proposal Israel submitted last May, the final agreement is increasingly closer to the original offer, with clauses connecting the first phase with the two others. This will make it harder for Israel to resume fighting once the initial stage goes into place. It’s also rumoured that Israel will agree to withdraw from the Philadelphi Corridor during the first phase, even though most officials deny it up to date.

This evening Netanyahu is meeting with national security minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who is the most fierce opponent of a deal. Tomorrow is the next top level meeting in Doha.

💬 @PoliticsGR Commentary:

🇮🇱🇵🇸🇶🇦🇺🇸 There have been talks about a ceasefire for months, so take that with a grain of salt, both sides could increase their demands tomorrow, especially since the Netanyahu government depends on the extremist vote.

But I am generally more optimistic this time, as Trump’s term approaches and his containment approach won’t be any different than the current administration more willingness will be shown to implement a diplomatic solution.
