  • The losers are tens of thousands of dead and wounded Palestinians, Israelis and other victims; mostly innocent civilians; their families and friends; also those whose homes, businesses, schools, hospitals and infrastructure were damaged or destroyed.

The article from MSN discusses the potential outcomes and implications of ending the Gaza war, highlighting both winners and losers. Winners include Israel, which could see a reduction in military and civilian casualties, a chance to rebuild its international image, and possibly a step towards normalization with some Arab states. Palestinian civilians would benefit from an end to the immediate violence, allowing for humanitarian aid and reconstruction efforts. International actors like the United States and Egypt might gain diplomatic leverage and stability in the region. Losers could be Hamas, as a ceasefire might limit its military capabilities and political influence if not negotiated on favorable terms. Hardliners on both sides might view any peace deal as a compromise of their goals. Additionally, the broader Palestinian cause might suffer if the ceasefire does not address core issues like occupation and statehood. The article also notes that while ending the war could bring immediate relief, the long-term resolution of underlying conflicts remains uncertain, with potential for future escalations if fundamental issues are not addressed.
