The ceasefire in Gaza is in jeopardy as Israel seeks to extend the first phase of the agreement, despite Palestinians in Gaza preparing to enter the holy month of Ramadan with hopes of peace. The Israeli government, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is demanding the extension of phase one of the ceasefire in exchange for releasing half of the remaining captives, while also cutting off aid and supplies to Gaza. Hamas criticizes Israel for going back on the existing deal and is calling on the international community to intervene. Can the ceasefire be saved?
Political analyst Xavier Abu Eid, former US ambassador Francis Ricciardone, and Middle East director Gershon Baskin discussed the situation on a recent broadcast. While tensions are high and the situation is precarious, there is still hope for salvaging the ceasefire. The international community, including the United Nations and neighboring countries, can play a crucial role in mediating and ensuring that both parties adhere to the terms of the agreement. It is essential for all sides to come to the table and negotiate in good faith to prevent the escalation of violence and protect the lives of innocent civilians in Gaza. As the world watches, the fate of the ceasefire in Gaza remains uncertain, but with diplomacy and cooperation, a lasting peace may still be achievable.
