I don't know how a cease fire could work a long time, because both sides have broken them before and both sides have long term incentives to break them. Israel has not really conducted itself like a trustworthy Government at the time, and Hamas as a Terror organisation is inherently untrustworthy. Maybe blue helmets? But they didn't prevent anything in the past, and I don't see a UN security council resolution that wouldn't be blocked by at least one of the veto countries.

I am deeply skeptical of a lasting ceasefire in Gaza. Here’s why: Hamas has pledged to destroy Israel. Israel has pledged to destroy Hamas. That doesn’t leave much room for compromise. Even a “permanent” ceasefire would be violated by Hamas within a few years, and Israel knows this.

The logic here is so ludicrous. First of all, why would ... umm ... the fighters of Gaza ... trust the Isreali government? Secondly, the longer this goes on the better it is for the fighters of Gaza. This leaves 3 options - the Isreali government agrees to a permanent ceasefire and gets all the hostages released, they agree to a "temporary" ceasefire with terms that favour the fighters of Gaza, or they carry on with the status quo.
