I have many thoughts on this and I find it difficult to put them all into words.
1. I do not understand the distinction of “humanitarian pause” and “ceasefire”. If that’s not in the form of a cessation of firing, I don’t see how it can be considered humanitarian. You can’t have one without the other. It feels to me like politicised wordplay.
2. This conflict has been going on so long, it’s likely that even if a global community push achieves a ceasefire or a pause, any stop in the fighting will probably be a temporary whatever you call it.
3. Since this conflict began long ago, for many in the region (israelis living in fear, palestinians living under apartheid, terrorists and state actors across the region imparting violence on civilians) the pauses between overt fighting aren’t very “humanitarian” to begin with.
