**Interview with Dr. Maya Cohen, Middle East Conflict Analyst**
**Host:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Cohen. The recent escalation in the Israel-Gaza conflict has raised significant concerns worldwide. The Israeli army has announced the elimination of Hamas leader Azuddin Kassab and reported the deaths of many Palestinians, including a tragic number of children. How do you assess this latest development?
**Dr. Cohen:** Thank you for having me. The death of Azuddin Kassab is indeed a critical moment for Hamas, as he was a key figure maintaining their operations in Gaza. However, the collateral damage in civilian casualties, especially among children, is alarming and highlights the urgent need for a ceasefire and humanitarian intervention.
**Host:** Speaking of casualties, Israeli authorities have also reported a significant number of their own soldiers and police officers killed. How does this impact the Israeli public’s perception of the ongoing conflict?
**Dr. Cohen:** The loss of Israeli lives certainly intensifies the public’s emotions and support for military action. However, with casualties on both sides, there’s a growing call within Israel for a strategic rethink. Many are concerned about the long-term implications of such violence and the persistent cycle of retaliation.
**Host:** What do you think is the way forward? Can we expect any ceasefires to hold amidst these ongoing hostilities?
**Dr. Cohen:** While there are calls for ceasefires, the path forward is complicated. For a ceasefire to be effective, both parties must genuinely commit to finding a resolution. The involvement of international mediators, like the US, can help facilitate this, but the situation on the ground remains volatile. Diplomatic solutions are crucial, especially in light of the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza.
**Host:** Thank you, Dr. Cohen, for your insights on this complex issue.
**Dr. Cohen:** Thank you for having me. It’s important to continue discussing these tragic events and advocating for peace.
