Benedict Moleta

Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › General Article

Abstract

The latest ceasefire proposal presented by President Donald Trump has again raised hopes that the Hamas-Israel war can be brought to a conclusion. While it is too soon to judge whether the plan will lead to lasting peace, it is already possible to consider three aspects of Hamas’ conduct during the course of the war that are not obvious signs of political failure.
