According to I24 News senior editor Guy Azriel, Hamas and Islamic Jihad rejected the proposal because they are unwilling to relinquish their power in Gaza. They only agreed to concessions related to the return of Israeli hostages. Azriel also mentioned that Egypt has suggested a new vision for Gaza, which includes new elections and leadership, but Hamas fails to understand the necessity for change.

Hamas’ Corruption and UNRWA’s Controversial Education
UNRWA, the UN organization responsible for Palestinian education, has been accused of producing materials that promote hatred towards Israel. A review found that UNRWA consistently ignores the existence of Israel and includes anti-Semitic content in its study materials.
While the people of Gaza suffer under Hamas’ rule, Hamas leaders such as Ismail Haniyeh, Khaled Mashal, and Abu Marzuk reside in Qatar, reportedly worth billions of dollars. Qatar provides significant financial support to Hamas, while the people of Gaza continue to face hardships.

The Impact on Gaza’s Civilians
The rejection of the ceasefire proposal by Hamas and Islamic Jihad has serious consequences for the civilians of Gaza. Without a ceasefire, violence and hostilities between Israel and the terrorist groups are likely to continue, leading to more casualties and destruction in Gaza.
Furthermore, the refusal to give up control of Gaza demonstrates that Hamas and Islamic Jihad are more concerned with maintaining their own power than with the well-being of the Palestinian people. By rejecting proposals for change and new leadership, they are perpetuating a cycle of conflict and suffering in Gaza.
The actions of Hamas, such as stealing humanitarian aid and shooting at crowds seeking assistance, further illustrate their disregard for the people they claim to represent. Rather than using aid to alleviate the suffering of the civilian population, Hamas chooses to prioritize their own interests, exacerbating the already dire situation in Gaza.
The Need for Change
The rejection of the ceasefire proposal highlights the urgent need for change in Gaza. The current leadership of Hamas and Islamic Jihad has proven ineffective in bringing stability and prosperity to the region. Their refusal to relinquish control and embrace new ideas demonstrates a lack of willingness to prioritize the well-being of the Palestinian people.
Egypt’s suggestion for new elections and leadership presents an opportunity for positive change in Gaza. By allowing new voices and ideas to emerge, there is a chance for a more inclusive and effective government to address the needs and aspirations of the Palestinian population.
It is crucial for the international community to support efforts towards a peaceful resolution and the establishment of a responsible and accountable leadership in Gaza. Ending the cycle of violence and ensuring the well-being of civilians should be the top priority for all parties involved.
Conclusion
The rejection of the ceasefire proposal by Hamas and Islamic Jihad is a disappointing development in the quest for peace in the region. Their unwillingness to give up control of Gaza demonstrates a lack of concern for the well-being of the Palestinian people. The actions of Hamas, such as stealing aid and shooting at crowds, further highlight their disregard for human life.
It is imperative that the international community continues to push for a peaceful resolution and supports efforts for new leadership in Gaza. By promoting change and accountability, there is hope for a better future for the people of Gaza.
The ongoing conflict in the region has already caused immense suffering and destruction. It is time for all parties to prioritize the well-being of the civilian population and work towards a lasting and sustainable peace.
