Discussion on Shifting Strategies in Dealing with the Israel-Gaza Conflict

Dealing with the Israel-Gaza conflict needs a shift in strategy. The current approach of supporting Israel unconditionally has not been effective in encouraging restraint or allowing sufficient assistance into Gaza. By exerting leverage through military assistance and United Nations votes, there is a possibility to influence Israel's actions positively. The notion of rescuing hostages primarily through diplomacy, rather than military operations, is emphasized. Hamas's ideology of resistance is gaining traction due to civil suffering, suggesting the need for a different approach to address the conflict. The proposed approach includes a ceasefire, prisoner release, humanitarian aid delivery, displaced Palestinians' return to homes, and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza. It is essential to explore new methods to address the escalating situation in Gaza.
