### The flame of conflict: can we still hope for a lasting resolution between Israel and Gaza?
Since the beginning of the modern era of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, hopes of peace have been intermingle with waves of violence, and the recent climbing of hostilities between Israel and Hamas raises crucial questions about the evolution of this tragic situation. In a context where diplomacy seems more and more inextricable, it is essential to examine not only the immediate ramifications of recent bombings, but also the historical and socio -political dynamics which feed this cycle of violence.
#### A military strategy rooted in domestic policy
Benjamin Netanyahu has clearly indicated that recent Gaza bombings are only the start of a new phase of conflict, a return to hostilities which serves not only military, but also political objectives. The Netanyahu government coalition, weakened by far -right factions, requires force demonstrations that respond to a demanding electoral base. This instrumentalization of the conflict is a recurring tactic in Israeli policies, illustrating how the military and the politician can intertwine.
Comments from political figures like Itamar Ben-Gvir underline a change of tone. His reintegration into government after leaving due to the truce shows that internal issues can pressure military decisions. The question of strong popular support and a feeling of national security becomes preponderant when Israel is advancing in a military campaign, while juggling the challenges of its governance.
### Remote challenges ignored
The intensified bombings of Gaza, which have already caused hundreds of victims, question the humanitarian repercussions of these actions. While millions of Palestinians are moved, the impact on civil infrastructure and health services is felt. According to UN reports, the Gazan population faces an exacerbated humanitarian crisis, with poverty levels reaching alarming summits since the start of the blockade in 2007.
In this context, calls for a cessation of hostilities are becoming more and more pressing not only internationally, but also in the ranks of Israeli civil society. The growing contrast between military decisions and the needs of civilians could become a decisive factor in the evolution of the public debate. Pacifist movements and NGOs in Israel which argue for a resolution based on dialogue are often stifled by the dominant bellicose rhetoric.

The dynamics of negotiation between Israel and Hamas always seems more delicate. The Israeli authorities have expressed their expectations of modifying the terms of the discussion, requiring more concessions without recognizing the previous agreements envisaged. The extension proposed by the United States, although accepted in theory, was rejected by Hamas due to the perception of a lack of sincerity on the Israeli part.
In addition, the ability of the United States to play a mediator’s role is undermined by the reciprocal hostility between the parties and by the growing mistrust that has been settled for years. Statistical analyzes show that attempts at direct mediation have been particularly ineffective in contexts of chronic violence where distrust predominates.
### towards a critical and historical reflection
By leaning over the long term, the analysis of the deep causes of the conflict reveals a story marked by successive ruptures and diplomatic failures. By revealing the weight of national stories – both Palestinian and Israeli – on the current perception of events, it is possible to conceive a new approach that goes beyond the current dead end.
Traditional peace mechanisms, focused on two -state solutions, must be reconsidered in the light of the complexity of local realities. Alternative solutions, including spaces for community dialogue and peace initiatives based on lived experiences, could offer a potential outlet that would avoid the pitfalls of a rigid top-down approach.
#### Conclusion: the quest for a new path
The current situation highlights the need for a reassessment of paradigms that dominated Israeli-Palestinian interactions. While the bombs continue to come across Gaza and the human tragedy is growing, the world must remember that the true winners of this conflict are not those who win military battles, but those who fight for a shared future. In the end, to move forward, it will take an unshakable will to dialogue and recognize the humanity of the other, regardless of the hate stories that these incessant cycles of violence nourish.
