In conclusion, despite the Israeli regime’s brutality and significant military losses, they have not achieved any of their objectives during the war. Multiple factors, including American pressure, regional efforts such as mediation by countries like Qatar and Egypt, and the steadfastness of the Palestinian people and their brave resistance fighters, compelled the Israeli regime to agree to this ceasefire.
