    Bit late now isn’t it fuckers. Call my cynical but this reeks of a government desperately trying to curry favour with the electorate.

    There have already been two ceasefires, Hamas broke both of them.

    Hamas broke the first ceasefire on Oct 7 by sending over 6000 fighters into Israel.

    So how will the ceasefire be enforced?

    How will the UN ensure Hamas returns all the hostages?
