> I don't recall many people ever seriously asking for that

i live in Canada, literally half a world away. Every street light pole seems to have some sort of "Ceasefire now" sticker on it. I also see similar sentiment in online threads on the topic. I think there is a significant group of people who want Israel to commit to an unconditional ceasefire in Gaza.

> We know exactly why Lebanon, Jordan and Syria are angry at the Israeli government

When people talk about this topic, they are usually referring to the conflict with Palestine.
