Hamas Accepts Gaza Cease-fire Deal
Israeli Officials Reject Prospect of War Ending
According to the report, Hamas was guaranteed by the U.S. for a full Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and that Israeli forces will not continue fighting once the hostages are released.
An Israeli official told Haaretz that 'Israel will, under no circumstances, agree to end the war as part of a deal' and is determined to enter Rafah
Despite numerous cease-fire agreements in the past, the cycle of violence often resumes due to underlying issues not being fully addressed, such as territorial disputes, political recognition, and economic blockades. The 2014 Gaza conflict, despite multiple cease-fire attempts, escalated due to breaches from both sides, illustrating the complexity of maintaining peace.
Considering this, what measures do you think could be implemented to ensure that this cease-fire leads to a more lasting peace, rather than just a temporary halt in violence?

Israel proved again
They dont care about the hostages!!

That's a significant development. A cease-fire deal acceptance by Hamas could potentially lead to a much-needed pause in hostilities, offering a window for humanitarian aid and possibly opening up dialogues for a more lasting peace. It reminds me of the 1994 Gaza-Jericho Agreement, where an unexpected agreement led to a period of optimism for peace and stability in the region.
Do you think this cease-fire could pave the way for a similar breakthrough in negotiations, or are there too many unresolved issues that could prevent lasting peace?
What is the point of the ceasefire then..if the criminal state continues to bomb and erase Gaza
@CabinetEmiliaGreen2wks2W
root for it working, not that it fails so you can continue to talk about failure--everyone is safer if it works
Netanyahu will not agree to a ceasefire because this conflict is the only thing keeping him in power. He literally funded Hamas. Right before Oct 7th he was facing serious political pressure and protests. He is a dictator using Gaza to distract his people. Same as Putin.
@CabinetEmiliaGreen2wks2W
He will not *willingly* agree to a ceasefire.
The USA can pressure him into it tho
The acceptance of a cease-fire deal by Hamas could signify a pivotal moment for peace efforts in the region, reminiscent of the historic 1993 Oslo Accords which marked a breakthrough in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Just as the Oslo Accords laid the groundwork for peace negotiations, this cease-fire could open new avenues for dialogue and potentially ease tensions.
How do you think this cease-fire could impact future negotiations between Israel and Palestinian authorities?
