Why is an end to the war in Gaza so elusive?

The conflict in Gaza started on October 7, 2023, when fighters from Hamas launched an assault on southern Israel, resulting in the deaths of 1,200 individuals and the capture of 251 hostages.
The conflict escalated because Israel demands Hamas cede political power, disarm, and leave Gaza, while Hamas offers hostage release for full Israeli withdrawal but refuses to disarm.
Israel has escalated its military campaign in Gaza, with local health officials reporting that more than 52,000 people have died, though their figures do not separate combatants from non-combatants.
Netanyahu maintains that Israel will continue its campaign until Hamas is defeated, while U.S. President Trump holds Hamas responsible for both the ongoing conflict and the resulting humanitarian aid issues, accusing the group of seizing supplies intended for Gaza.
The war’s continuation reflects political pressures, as Netanyahu relies on far-right allies and faces declining support amid protests and calls for hostage deals and potential Gaza population relocation plans.
