The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, lasting six weeks, is nearing its end phase without a clear path forward. As discussions around the release of hostages and military withdrawals loom, both parties face heavy political pressure. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu contends with demands from his coalition to dismantle Hamas, while Hamas resists disarming as it conflicts with its mission. The intricate interplay of political commitments on both sides raises the likelihood of a return to violence if no agreement can be reached soon.
"The fragile truce may now be entering an even more precarious juncture, with key political pressures making the second phase of the ceasefire highly challenging for both Israel and Hamas."
"The heart of the deadlock is whether Hamas can be persuaded to disarm, as demanded by Netanyahu, or whether he can compromise without risking his coalition."
