His resolution for the new year is to prioritize common sense over partisanship.

The deadlock arises from conflicting demands, with Israel insisting on the release of living hostages first, while Hamas wants to include dead bodies. Pressure from the incoming Trump administration may influence the situation, as Israel believes that 96 hostages remain in Gaza.
