Why Hamas Doesn’t Want a Ramadan Ceasefire

It’s hoping for the war to spread.

Last week, President Biden told reporters that he hoped Hamas would accept what he called “a rational offer” for a ceasefire, to which he added, “There’s got to be a ceasefire because [of] Ramadan,” and if there isn’t the situation could become “very dangerous.” Hamas rejected the ceasefire offer, so anti-Israel activists are now trying to portray Israel’s continuation of the war during Ramadan, which began Sunday evening, as evidence of Israeli evil. Of course, Hamas had no scruples about attacking Israeli civilians on Simchat Torah.
