    There’s another resolution the US is putting forwards where Hamas releases the hostages in exchange for a ceasefire. This seems like a reasonable deal.

      Hamas has released a very reasonable proposal for a ceasefire a few days ago but Netanyahu had a hissy fit and he said no.

          Yes indeed. They do.

          There’s the slight issue with israel bombing and and attacking Palestians during ceasefires.

          But of course if you ignore all those violations by israel then Hamas just randomly attacks! Out of nowhere!
