Statements from Israeli and US officials as well as news reports in international and Israeli media indicate that a ceasefire deal may be close to being reached.

The possibility of a ceasefire and captives-for-prisoners swap deal has inspired cautious hope as the people of Gaza continue to endure airstrikes and growing hunger.

Although recent statements from Hamas and Israel regarding Gaza ceasefire talks appear to be optimistic, Israel has escalated its aggression across the Gaza strip in the last few days.

Israel threatened to expand its attacks to the Lebanese state by targeting non-Hezbollah sites, should the ceasefire collapse.

Iran claimed the attacks by the terrorist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) in Syria have been coordinated by the US and Israel in order to hide their failures in Gaza and Lebanon.

Hezbollah has inflicted considerable military losses on Israel, which obliged the US to press Netanyahu for a ceasefire deal.

The last two months have seen a sharp intensification of Israeli aggression against Lebanon, but also a strong fightback by Hezbollah which has blocked Israel from achieving its military objectives.

The diplomatic efforts of US and Israel stand in sharp contradiction with Israel’s genocidal military operations on the ground, backed by the US
