Yes, Hamas want permanent ceasefire, Israel only offering temporary pause. Hard to see how this ends, but both sides will have to give in, there won't be any winners. I assume Hamas were hoping this would ignite a wider conflict with Hezbollah and/or Iran getting involved...and it nearly succeeded...but in the end has just meant the destruction of Gaza and so many lives. Meanwhile Netanyahu is just concerned about his own political future and has a govt full of extremist maniacs. It is all so tragic. Could hurt Biden in upcoming election too, significant Arab American population in some of the key states, and also a lot of the Democrat base may just stay home on election day. The US-Israel relationship needs to change.
