Analysts indicate that a proposed three-week cease-fire between Israel and Hezbollah is unlikely to be accepted as it fails to meet both sides' conditions, particularly given Hezbollah's commitment to continue fighting until a cease-fire in Gaza is established.
Hezbollah faces internal criticism for pausing its conflict with Israel while supporting Hamas, which complicates the prospect of accepting a temporary cease-fire without addressing their allies' plight and regional dynamics.
Israeli leaders emphasize the necessity for a lasting resolution that requires Hezbollah to permanently withdraw from the border and cease rocket attacks, rather than settling for a short-term truce that doesn't address their safety concerns.
Michael Stephens of the Royal United Services Institute highlights that for Israel, negotiating a temporary cease-fire would waste efforts for long-term solutions and security, indicating that they are unwilling to engage merely for public relations.
