One would hope for an actual humanitarian ceasefire. But a humanitarian pause seems to be a pause to bandage up people and get them some food for a small period before allowing Israel to bomb those same people again.

A proper ceasefire is really needed right now, but the US and Europe seems very opposed, and is rather arguing about the terms 'ceasefire' and 'pause', as if that's the most important thing right now.
