The reason behind the delay in the Gaza ceasefire

The Israeli occupation continues to delay progress on the prisoner exchange deal and the Gaza ceasefire, employing a strategic approach aimed at buying time and exploiting it to achieve its military and political goals at the expense of the Palestinian people.اضافة اعلان

With the worsening field and humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip, these unjust policies are compounded by measures such as reducing aid to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), further exacerbating the suffering of Palestinians and deepening Gaza's tragedy.

This combination of military and political stalling, alongside the deteriorating humanitarian conditions, reflects the occupation's strategy to eradicate the Palestinian people and undermine any efforts to improve their circumstances.

In the ongoing negotiations for the prisoner exchange deal and the ceasefire, the occupation persists in its policy of procrastination and stalling.

This policy adopts military and economic pressure tactics, using the negotiations as a tool to escalate pressure on Hamas and Palestinians in Gaza.

While Hamas strives to reach agreements that lead to a truce and a ceasefire, the occupation bets on "buying time" to complete its military and political objectives.

This procrastination is not limited to negotiations concerning prisoners and the ceasefire but extends to imposing a suffocating blockade on the Strip and deepening its humanitarian suffering.

The stalling aims to weaken Hamas’s position and undermine its political and military influence while simultaneously tightening the noose on Palestinian civilians, who bear the brunt of these policies.

Meanwhile, as Gaza struggles to withstand the ongoing brutal attacks by the occupation, the reduction of UNRWA aid exacerbates the humanitarian disaster.

UNRWA, which serves as a lifeline for millions of Palestinians, particularly in Gaza, faces significant challenges due to political pressures and financial cuts imposed by donor countries, primarily the United States.

Reducing funding for UNRWA translates into fewer food, health, and educational services, further deepening Gaza's humanitarian crisis.
