6. Why not condemn Hamas for refusing to agree to a cease fire?

Hamas does not care about its own people. Hamas started this war by breaking an existing cease fire agreement with Israel on Oct 7, 2023.

And Hamas is the one who said no to the cease fire deals Israel agreed to - which were supported by Egypt, Qatar and the U.S. - in Aug 2024, May 2025, and the cease fire deal on the table right now.

Israel said yes to the current deal on the table. But Hamas just drags its feet. World pressure should be squarely on Hamas to accept a cease fire. Hamas started and is perpetuating this war. It could stop the killing immediately, if that was its goal.

Free Palestine- from Hamas.
