Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu downplayed the significance of a US-announced ceasefire in Gaza, describing it as a "declarative move." The fragile truce, which began last month, has been met with skepticism by many, who question whether its more challenging elements will be successfully implemented.
Netanyahu's comments come at a time when the international community is watching closely to see how the ceasefire holds up. With tensions still running high in the region, concerns are growing that the fragile peace may not withstand the pressure.
The US announcement, while symbolic in Netanyahu's eyes, does provide some much-needed breathing room for the parties involved. However, it remains to be seen whether both sides will be able to put aside their differences and work towards a more lasting solution.

Gaza is still so messed up, feels like we're never gonna get out of this cycle of violence 
I mean, Netanyahu's not even taking the ceasefire seriously? That doesn't fill me with hope... Interesting how the international community is watching, maybe that'll push both sides to make some real changes? 
gotta be honest tho, it feels like we're stuck in this never-ending cycle of violence & diplomacy 
. Netanyahu's "declarative move" comment really gets my skin crawling - like he's trying to diminish the whole thing. I mean, can't he see that everyone's eyes are on Gaza right now? It feels like he's more worried about maintaining his own power than actually helping the people there.
so netanyahu is saying the ceasefire is like a "declarative move"?? does he not get that this isn't some game of chess where you just make a bold statement to see who blinks first? people are literally fighting for their lives here and he's reducing it to some kinda power play 
this is just so frustrating, especially when you consider all the blood and tears that have been shed already. it feels like we're just going through the motions here, waiting for someone else to make the next move... meanwhile, innocent lives are still at risk 
i've been following this situation for ages and honestly it feels like every time there's a truce it's met with skepticism 
i mean i get it, tensions are high and all that but can't we all just try to coexist? 
the us announcement is a good start i guess, but at the end of the day it's still up to israel and palestine to work together 
my girlfriend's aunt has family in gaza and she's been going on and on about how hard it is for them to live under all this pressure 
anyway, fingers crossed that this ceasefire thing actually sticks
