The US is three months away from a presidential election, and President Biden\u2019s administration believes a ceasefire in Gaza would help calm the region.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The political analyst, Dana Weiss, says that Israel\u2019s Defence Minister Yoav Gallant  agrees that if Israel does not take the path of a ceasefire deal &#8211; even temporarily &#8211; then it will be on a sure path to escalation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">\u201cFor the prime minister, it\u2019s totally the opposite,\u201d she says. \u201cHe answers: No, if we go ahead and cave to Sinwar now, Hezbollah and Iran see that we\u2019re weak. We have to finish the task with Hamas, to prevent the war.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But, she says, Mr Netanyahu also has domestic political incentives to stall the negotiations.  Among those incentives is the fact that, after months of abysmal approval ratings, he is now rising again in opinion polls.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c7854g3gz0eo\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hamas has not formally joined the current round of talks, and many believe Mr Sinwar\u2019s own&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":43070,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[646,334,986],"class_list":["post-43067","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-stories","tag-ceasefire","tag-deal","tag-israelgaza"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.0 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Israel-Gaza ceasefire: Is a deal still possible?
