Israel-Hamas war: How to get to a ceasefire?

All the international community can do is answer the United Nations' call to raise funds and prepare vital necessities. We talk about the humanitarian conference hosted by France this Thursday and whether more can be done to spare civilian lives.

To ask about a ceasefire is to ask, at this rate of killing and destruction, how long this war can last… and what's the plan for the day after? For a political settlement, there needs to be political will. The alternative is total destruction or a permanent state of war, scenarios that surely only suit the most radical elements on both sides.
