Arabic-language term applied to the Israel–Hamas conflict From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tahdiya is Arabic (تهدئة) for "calming" or "quieting".
It is an Islamic legal concept that refers to the temporary pacification of conflict and is sometimes translated as ceasefire. However, unlike a more permanent truce, it is nonbinding and may be broken at any time and without delay by Muslims.[1]
The term has been applied to a proposed temporary lull between the Israeli forces and the Palestinian Hamas, beginning early in 2004 following the non successful discussions to sign a hudna, or temporary armistice. While hudna is a term for temporary armistice, it should not be confused with tahdiya, which stands for calming down on hostilities but not a complete stop to them.[2]
