Seasons
Intense fighting has broken out following an attack on Israel by Hamas (CNN, The Guardian, AP News).
Resolution Criteria:
This question will be resolved using official announcements or news media reports that Hamas and Israel have agreed to a ceasefire. The cessation of fighting without a negotiated agreement will not count toward resolution.
Question clarification
Issued on 10/13/23 10:54pm
So long as both parties publicly acknowledge the ceasefire and agree to its terms, credible news reporting will be sufficient to resolve. A ceasefire announced by both sides unilaterally, as in 2009, would result in the question resolving as “Yes”. The agreement must last more than 24 hours and apply to all military engagement between Hamas and Israel. The question will be resolved based on the date of the agreement rather than the date the ceasefire goes into effect.
