The world has witnessed diplomatic efforts for 22 months between Hamas and Israel without any political agreement or ceasefire, only two humanitarian truces for prisoner exchange and aid delivery. The decision to stop the aggression lies with the Israeli occupation led by Netanyahu and the supportive US administration, alongside Hamas which manages its political and organizational battle in Gaza.

The war in Gaza continues because of the Israeli occupation’s decision led by Netanyahu, who seeks to prolong the war for political goals including displacement, liquidation of the Palestinian cause, and maintaining his rule, supported by the US administration. Hamas balances between its organizational interests and the conditions of Gaza’s residents. The Israeli prisoners held by Hamas do not influence Netanyahu’s decision. Global efforts to stop the war have not changed the positions of the conflicting parties.
