Summary
As international pressure mounts on Prime Minister Netanyahu to hold him accountable for crimes against humanity, Hamas has decided not to engage in ceasefire talks due to the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza, exacerbated by years of blockade and conflict. With nearly 2.3 million people displaced since 2023 and facing shortages of food and medical supplies, the situation has reached a breaking point, with many relying on expired sustenance or facing starvation as displacement and suffering intensify. Calls for urgent humanitarian aid and an end to the blockade are growing louder as the crisis worsens.
