Calls for Ceasefire: International Pressure Mounts

The podcast discusses the growing international calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Various humanitarian groups, world leaders, and activists, including UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and French President Emmanuel Macron, are urging for a halt to the conflict. The ongoing violence has led to a mounting death toll, including a significant number of children, and has raised concerns about the impact on the hostages held by each side.
