It's the very typical scenario: Hamas, or Palestinian Islamic Jihad, or Hizb'Allah or Fatah attacks Israel. Israel then responds and the attacking Arab party then cries for a ceasefire, uses the ceasefire to rearm and reequip and dig then does another attack and it repeats.
One should note that the October 7 attack occurred after a prior ceasefire with Hamas. That ceasefire was not the first, there had been numerous ceasefires all previously broken by Hamas whenever it felt it could get away with it. Once Hamas starts to lose it asks for another ceasefire until its ready for the next round.
We will note the current request for a ceasefire from Hamas and its fellow-travelers worldwide sounds different depending on whether its asked for in English or Arabic.
In English it claims to want a ceasefire for humanitarian grounds.
In Arabic, they proclaim what we know to be true - that they intend to use the ceasefire to rearm, rebuild, and repeat the atrocities of October 7.
Quite simply the answer should be No to any pause or Ceasefire.
Israel has it right in refusing to continue this same sordid dance of a ceasefire to save Hamas every time they start losing.
Hamas may end the current hostilities by surrendering anytime it wants to do so.
