Part 2/8:
Despite the mounting humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Hamas has persistently refused to accept another ceasefire offer. This refusal has drawn sharp criticism from the United States, which has labeled Hamas as "completely selfish" for continuing to reject repeated diplomatic efforts. The decision by Hamas not only prolongs the conflict but also complicates international efforts to bring about a peaceful resolution. Experts argue that Hamas's stance is a major obstacle to ending the violence and alleviating the suffering of civilians caught in the crossfire.
