Jan 6 Capitol Riots: One Year On

Published

on

January 6 marks one year since the US Capitol riot, where thousands of Donald Trump supporters assaulted police and took over the building

The attack came in response to Joe Biden being declared the next president in place of Trump.

The former president fuelled protestors by alleging the election was stolen from him.

The events of the day were watched on with horror and disbelief with even Trump’s own party criticising his and the mob’s actions.

Since the attack on the Capitol, senators, representatives and police officers who were in the building have chronicled their trauma.

Alarmed that little had been changed to prevent a repeat of events in the future.

A day that was meant to bring the country together, only widened the divide.

A Washington Post survey found that one in three Americans believe that violence against the government can be justified a significant increase compared to previous decades.

US President Joe Biden gave a speech to mark the insurrection.

Since then, more than 725 people have been arrested for storming the US Capitol building with charges ranging from obstruction of an official proceeding to assault.

But Nancy Pelosi, The Speaker of the US House of Representatives says the attack was not enough to prevent democracy.

Vice President Kamala Harris labelled the day as one of the most memorable in US history.

She says the attack provided Americans with a preview of what their nation would look like if the forces who seek to dismantle our democracy are successful – the lawlessness, the violence, the chaos.”

We spoke to a Senior Fellow at the United States Studies Centre earlier who says that Americans are becoming concerned about the state of democracy in their country but that Biden is determined to maintain it.

In Short:
– Trump gives Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed Gaza peace plan, warning of consequences.
– Hamas calls the plan biased and insists on a complete Israeli withdrawal before considering any agreement.
U.S. President Donald Trump has given Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed peace plan for Gaza, warning of severe consequences if they reject it.The plan, shared by mediators Qatar and Egypt, emerged after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed it during a visit to the White House. Hamas, which was not part of the talks, is expected to review the proposal that calls for disarmament, a previously rejected demand.

Trump stated that support for the plan came from both Israeli and Arab leaders, and he emphasised the need for Hamas to respond promptly. The proposal includes a ceasefire, hostage exchanges, an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and disarmament of Hamas, along with a transitional government.

A Hamas source described the plan as biased towards Israel and containing unacceptable conditions.

The group maintains that a complete Israeli withdrawal is a prerequisite for their agreement to any deal, while they are unwilling to disarm.

Pressure Mounts

Hamas faces significant pressure as foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, and Egypt have supported the initiative. Turkey’s intelligence head is also set to join discussions in Doha, marking a new level of mediation.

Despite expressing initial support, Netanyahu is cautious about the plan’s implications for Palestinian statehood and faces pressure from his coalition. Public sentiment in Gaza reflects a desire for peace, albeit with scepticism about the sincerity of both Trump and Netanyahu’s commitments.
