International calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza are growing as the death toll continues to rise. More than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed and tens of thousands injured in Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza, leaving the healthcare system on the brink of collapse. Despite mediation efforts by Qatar, the United States, and Egypt, Israel’s relentless attacks have not ceased, putting pressure on ceasefire negotiations.
The recent killing of over 100 Palestinians waiting to collect food has sparked further outrage and raised concerns about escalating tensions in the region. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains steadfast in his military offensive, vowing to continue until his goals are achieved. This stance complicates efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement.
Discussing the situation, former Israeli justice minister Yossi Beilin, associate professor of conflict resolution Ibrahim Fraihat, and professor of conflict resolution Mohammed Cherkaoui shared their perspectives on the ongoing crisis. The panel highlighted the urgent need for a ceasefire to prevent further loss of life and worsen humanitarian conditions in Gaza.
With international pressure mounting, the question remains whether Israel will heed the calls for a ceasefire or continue its military offensive. As diplomatic efforts persist, the fate of the people in Gaza hangs in the balance, with hopes for peace and stability dwindling as the conflict shows no signs of abating.
