Part 4/8:
Though the ceasefire might offer a momentary cessation of violence, it does not encapsulate a comprehensive solution. The first phase of the deal includes the release of 33 Israeli hostages and hundreds of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli custody. Yet, the gruesome reality remains: there remains uncertainty surrounding the fate of these hostages, with fears that some may be deceased.
Humiliation for both sides is evident. Israel’s compromised position and the withdrawal of its military forces from Gaza raises alarm among its leadership, where some voices express profound skepticism over the long-term effectiveness of such terms.
