The problem with a ceasefire is that it ceases the moment somebody fires again. So this one will also have to withstand the test of time.
I think there was one before to allow aid in. But I think it was limited in scope to just that. This one looks more long-term than that. But there is a but: there are a gazillion issues that have been left unaddressed. This is about short-term goals, stop destroying the remaining ruins and people in Gaza for release of the remaining hostages, dead or alive. Beyond that it gets vague. Hamas should exit. Who is Hamas and who will check that? Israel should fall back. But to where exactly and who is looking at that. 47 is not a details man and this is a two-page solution to problems that fill volumes. Can this work? Sure, it can. It’s just that more detailed plans haven’t worked in the past.
Israel already dropped more bombs mere hours after it was announced so I wouldn’t hold your breath that this one’s gonna last. I expect that just like all the past Israel-Gaza ceasefires this is basically just for the press saying they’re trying for peace, while they barely even hesitate before continuing the genocide.
