It is difficult to negotiate a short-term ceasefire between Palestine and Israel, and the "substitution" agreement between Israel and Hamas has reached an impasse. In recent days, the two sides have engaged in serious and in-depth negotiations on an agreement to exchange detainees, but have not been able to make progress. This time, Hamas rejected the Israeli side's offer for a new round of agreements for the exchange of detainees. Prior to this, the Israeli army mistakenly killed three detained Palestinians, which caused dissatisfaction in the country and made it more difficult to reach an agreement. The conflict began with a Hamas raid on military and civilian targets in Israel on October 7, killing more than 1,200 people and holding more than 200 people hostage to the Gaza Strip. Israel** declared a state of war and launched a large-scale military operation in the Gaza Strip, resulting in nearly 20,000 deaths and more than 50,000 injuries on the Palestinian side.
The manslaughter has sparked a demand in Israel for a new round of "replacement" agreements as soon as possible, so that those detained by Hamas in the Gaza Strip can return home as soon as possible. However, Israel** has not ceased its military operations in the Gaza Strip as a result, but has continued its air and ground offensives. According to Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, the Israeli army's operations in the Gaza Strip will continue "for several months." It has also left the families of the detainees anxious and angry. There is no consensus within Israel on this issue. Some support the rescue of detainees and a negotiated ceasefire, while others insist on moving forward with military action. Such internal disagreements also make it more difficult to negotiate.
In addition, Hamas has said it will not participate in negotiations on a second round of detainees exchange agreements until there is a full ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. This has made the antagonism between the two sides more pronounced and the prospects for negotiations more uncertain. Internationally, tensions in the region are also in the spotlight. Under such circumstances, how to calm down the hostility between the two sides and reach a new round of "substitution" agreement has become a difficult problem at present. The clash has led to a large number of people being detained and exacerbated the confrontation between Palestine and Israel. How to resolve the differences between the two sides and calm the tension will require more external support and mediation. But for now, the prospects for a new round of "substitution" agreements are uncertain, and differences between the two sides remain.
It is hoped that with the joint efforts of the international community, a way to solve the problem will be found as soon as possible and efforts will be made for peace and stability in the region.
