    You do understand a ceasefire is temporary? It’s not an end. It’s temporary peaceful time so the starving can be fed and the wounded cared for.

      I do, but in the few last rounds of talks Hamas has consistently demanded full Israeli withdrawal as a condition to release any hostages, and a permanent peace prior to releasing all hostages.

      Since Israel is obviously not going to agree to withdraw leaving Hamas to reassert full control, and further would never make a peace treaty with a terrorist organization holding their citizens hostage, I don’t see any path forward here.
