Part 5/12:
Recent discussions hint at a possible compromise: a 60-day ceasefire brokered by Qatari mediators, with Israel reportedly leaning toward acceptance. Nonetheless, both Israel and Hamas have divergent conditions. Israel insists that a ceasefire must mean disarmament of Hamas and removal of its leadership, while Hamas demands a withdrawal of Israeli forces. This disconnect renders a sustainable peace difficult, perpetuating a cycle of negotiations and conflicts reminiscent of previous offers since 2018.
