As civilians continue to suffer under relentless attacks, a much-needed ceasefire in Gaza remains out of reach, primarily due to Israel's rigid stance on discussing a fair exchange of hostages with Hamas. The impasse underscores the urgent need for international intervention to protect innocent lives caught in the crossfire.
A potential ceasefire that could bring much-needed peace to the region has been jeopardized by Hamas's unrealistic demands for a hostage exchange.
