Hamas is open to a ceasefire but insists on ending the Gaza war. Trump announced Israel agreed to a 60-day ceasefire and urged Hamas to accept. The ceasefire would allow negotiations to end the war, which Israel wants to achieve after Hamas is defeated.
Hamas wants the war to end to release hostages. Israel wants Hamas to surrender. The proposal includes a partial Israeli withdrawal, increased aid, and assurances about ending the war.
Hamas wants the war over, while Israel wants Hamas defeated first, making a lasting agreement exceptionally difficult. Deep mistrust, conflicting goals, and the immense human cost demand urgent action, a commitment to justice, and a future free from violence, where all can live in peace and security, and where the voices of the marginalized are finally heard.

Why should Israel trust a group that has broken every previous agreement?

The emphasis on a future free from violence is crucial. We need an end to the war.

This is just Hamas trying to regroup and rearm. They will violate any ceasefire.

The article frames Hamas as victims when they are the aggressors.

The focus on the voices of the marginalized, particularly the residents of Gaza, is essential.

If Hamas truly cared about its people, there wouldn't be a war. They just want the conflict to continue for political gain.

This proposal offers a ray of hope. Let's hope both sides can find a path to peace.
