Not sure a ceasefire will help anyway if the land grabs by Israel, the settlement expansion and the blockade of Gaza and control of land, sea, air and movement of its population continues. These are what caused 7 October. So if those issues aren’t resolved politically, after a period of time there will be another 7 October by Hamas or some other outfit and more bombing of Gaza to drive the Palestinians off the land so Israel can acquire it and expand Israeli settlements into what hardliners consider as part of Greater Israel. Much like Russian expansion into Crimea.
Wonder how Netanyahu will deal with Israeli hardliners in his cabinet and coalition who oppose a truce and want to kill more Palestinian civilians- seeing their deaths and the deaths of Israelis as necessary to meet their territorial objectives.
One of the issues is whether a “ceasefire” will prevent more of this.

That makes the IDF no different to the Hamas operations where Israeli civilians are shot or kidnapped.
UK politicians “do politics” with the Israeli government despite the IDF terrorist tactics and their refusal to stop carrying out these kind of operations and worse, and UK politicians “do politics” with dictators and human rights abusers and mass murderers of civilians for economic benefit - so looks like it’s arbitrary bias and prejudice to have cited “moral” concerns when some people condemned Corbyn for “doing politics” with Hamas.
