Did previous ceasefire attempts get any agreement? Or actually happen?
One difference is previous attempts were negotiated by Qatar, which has some influence with Hamas, while this was proposed by the US which has some influence with Israel. There’s also building global pressure to end the atrocities.
Especially since your phrasing appears to blame Israel, surely influence with Israel must give some hope?
More importantly, all you can do is keep trying until it sticks. I really think that’s a pattern regardless of the country or the violence: first attempt at a ceasefire rarely works but if you keep trying, it will eventually.
Baby steps. Let’s try to stop killing each other, then we can figure out how to remain stopped and keep from starting again
Previous ceasefire for set times went right back to genocide, so forgive me if I have doubts about a longer one having better results.
