What is standing in the way of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in the war in Gaza?
On Ian Explains, Ian Bremmer unpacks the challenges and obstacles to achieving a ceasefire agreement in the Israel-Hamas war. The stakes are, as ever, incredibly high, and the humanitarian crisis has only gotten worse since the war began. Since October 7, around 40,000 Palestinians have been killed in the conflict, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, and the UN estimates that 60% of Gazan homes and 80% of commercial buildings and schools have been destroyed or damaged. If the fighting doesn’t end soon, over a million Gazans will face near-total starvation by mid-summer.
In late May, President Biden unveiled a three-phase ceasefire proposal that he said had the support of the Israeli government, the global community and was backed by the UN security council. But hopes for an agreement were dashed after Hamas requested amendments to the deal and Israel refused to publicly accept the plan. Hamas says any deal must include a permanent end to the war and full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. Israel says it will only accept temporary pauses in fighting until Hamas is fully eradicated.
So is there any hope of a breakthrough? Will politics continue to take precedence over peace? Both the Palestinian and Israeli people would benefit from a real, lasting ceasefire, but, as Bremmer explains, it's not clear that the political leadership on either side actually want it to happen.

What about the war clouds looming in the North ?
wow lol he literally quotes Antony Blinken. well that's ignorant.
Arnold J. Toynbee, one of the foremost living historians, cannot be credited with faith in the Bible as God’s inspired Word. He holds that Christians should recognize “all higher religions as revelations of what is good and right,” and not claim exclusiveness.
Ian, for a bright fella, you sure make some odd comments “until the leaders change…” change leaders, you get the same result: Palestinians want no Israel, Israel wants a secure western Israel. Solve that… and didn’t just ask one side to solve it, ask for the eradication of militant hatred at perhaps your own ish might be fulfilled
Talk about a myopic and one sided take on the situation. Ever been to Gaza? What qualifies you exactly?
He’s right. This conflict is eternal and written in the Quran. We must do what is necessary.
@@kingfisher1069 That's an "interesting" point of view .. as I recall it was the Crusades that brought war to the "Islamic homeland," a thousand years ago, and then once those weirdos gave up and went home, things quieted down -- well, until many hundreds of years later, when the northwest Europeans attacked the region again. For something "writting in the Quran," the Christian countries sure seem to kill a lot of people in the traditionally Muslim-majority states.
palestinians just want a blockade free gaza and an uncolonized west bank
He points out that Israel was given no inalienable right to Palestine but that her possession of that land depended solely upon God’s favor and Israel’s obedience to God’s commandments and that Zionism ignores these conditions. “In thus leaving God’s will and Israel’s conduct out of his reckoning, the Zionist parted with the spiritual ground which was the only sure basis for the Jews’ title to the soil of the holy land,” according to him. Toynbee goes so far as to say that the surest way for Israel to lose title to the holy land is for Zionism to stray into the delusion that a conditional “grant from Almighty God was an inalienable birthright.” (A Study of History, Vol. VIII, page 601)
No question about it, the great Giver of every good gift and every perfect present sets his conditions: “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword.”-Isaiah 1:19, 20, AS.
I beg your pardon, Ian, but the number of dead on the Israeli side ARE verifiable, or very near to. About 1200 killed on October seventh (about a thousand of which were civilians, and the rest mostly non-combat troops), and however many have been killed in fighting since then, plus a handful of hostages killed either by Hamas or (tragically) by the Israeli army. It's the numbers claimed by the Hamas Health Ministry that have been subject to serious doubts--they've been internally self-contradictory, and even the U.N. downgraded its estimates massively at one point. The Hamas numbers are just not trustworthy.
3 guesses for who you support. Dont tell me you think Israel tells the truth. In truth, casualties in Gaza are more likely to be much higher if anything. They are all under the rubble.
Just a tip, your numbers are pretty far off. Several thousand Israelis wounded, bears mentioning, but the death toll is about 1140 with about 765 of those civilians (sources vary; that's as of mid-December reporting).
EFFFFF da z ionizt BS🎉🎉🎉
Ian Bremmer still peddling this crap about human shields and stalling the deal?
yeah I just dont get Americas obsession with Israel. Maybe because so much of the Us economy relies on war? Not thats its much good for everyday Americans mind, just elites who keep getting richer. If he were reporting responsibly, he would cite evidence. There is none.
the funny thing is that russia is using the same excuse and idf using human shields are verifiable via videos
Fake guy
