World Leaders' Response to Israel-Palestine Conflict: Ceasefire or Doublespeak?

As the Israel-Palestine war continues, world leaders have used different language to describe their desired outcome. Many countries have called for an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire, while Israel's allies have only called for a pause in fighting. The majority of countries calling for a pause are European states, the US, and Canada, while those calling for a ceasefire are primarily from the Global South. The Biden administration has rejected demands for a ceasefire until Israel eliminates Hamas. Palestinians in Gaza feel let down by the international community and stress that the conflict extends beyond the recent events.
