 by the deadly October 7th attacks on Israel will be nine months old. More than 38,000 have been killed in the Gaza Strip according to the Hamas run health ministry and around 120 hostages are still thought to be held captive inside Gaza. A recent poll found that 60% of Israelis are in favor of the ceasefire proposal and the New York Times reported this week that Israel's top generals want a ceasefire even if it means leaving Hamas in power in Gaza.
