    “We… reaffirm our adherence to our demands and the national demands of our people; with a permanent ceasefire, the withdrawal of the occupation army from the entire Gaza Strip, the return of the displaced to their areas and places of residence, intensification of the entry of relief and aid, and the start of reconstruction,” the Islamist faction said.

    Not a single one of those seems unreasonable in the slightest and I can’t see why any of them should be withdrawn.

      Because if they were serious about negotiating they would give on some points, the same goes for the Israeli government. Tbh to me it seems like neither Hamas nor the Israeli government has any interest in a ceasefire or pause or whatever you want to call it. This ongoing conflict serves their individual power agendas well.

        What should they give?

        Maybe they can accept a temporary ceasefire so Israel can continue later in the year?

        Maybe they can let Israel stay in their land to continue to murder them?

        Maybe they can let their people remain displaced and not allowed into their land?

        Maybe they can let aid continue to be stifled so they starve?

        Maybe they can postpone reconstruction and live in ruble to die of disease?

        What should they give?

        You’re right, and the French should’ve just let Germany have the northern half of their country, compromise guys!

        They gave on some points back in November, and Israel broke the ceasefire and killed unarmed Palestinians. They don’t trust Israel to uphold their end once again.

        Ah right, the “how about we compromise and just have a little genocide” option
