.AS THE FIGHTING in the Gaza Bit between Israel and Hamas escalates, so perform decisions for a "ceasefire"-- or a "humanitarian pause". An urgent shared summit of the Arab Game and the Organisation of the Islamic Association in Saudi Arabia on Nov 11th, for example, required the former. Two times eventually the 27 participant states of the European Union stated their help for the latter. United States will also simply sustain stops, as are going to the G7 group of rich countries. The UN, through comparison, has supported a ceasefire. Israel itself categorically declines a ceasefire, yet on Nov 9th consented to execute daily four-hour "altruistic stops" in north Gaza. So what is the variation in between the 2, and why performs this divide countries and also international companies?
