The step is already given, but there is still a long way to go. To the proposed by Donald Trump is not a ‘yes’ to everything. The Islamist group has decided to move forward in search of a fire, but are not in favor of some of the points of the initiative promoted by the White House.
The position adopted by Hamas is treated only from the beginning of the first phase of a process that seeks to end Israel’s military offensive in Gaza. In fact, Benjamín Netanyahu’s own government has already ordered “” of this process. Above all, after the request of the US president to stop attacks.
Trump, who was one of the first to react through Truthsocial asking for the fire to his Israeli counterpart, has published a video on social networks in which he has been optimistic and believes that the next steps will go in the direction of achieving lasting peace.
A path for peace that just started
The reality is that, despite Donald Trump’s words, things will not be sewing and singing. Hamas has said yes, but he has also claimed “Negotiate the details“Of the plan. What he has done is to claim the immediate beginning of the negotiations with mediators.
After seeing the position of the Islamist group, the White House tenant has supported that the statement of Hamas, two days before the end of the deadline that had imposed him, shows that “they are prepared for lasting peace.” “Israel must immediately stop bombings on Gazaso that we can rescue the hostages safely and quickly, “the Republican leader claimed first.
Hamas reported this Friday that he was for the work of supporting the plan, delivering to all the hostages, alive or dead, but with the intention of delivering the administration of Gaza to an independent government of Palestinian technocrats, with “Palestinian national consensus and Arab and Islamic support“. Something different from what the United States proposed, with the supervision of former British prime minister Tony Blair in the local executive.
But that ‘yes’ of the Islamist group has changed, even a bit, Israel’s position. The Netanyahu office has already announced that it is preparing to “immediately” implement the first phase of the agreement.
Encounters in the first phase
Israeli media and the chief of the General Staff of Israel, Eyal Zamir, are already taking some steps on the temporary detention of the offensive. According to EFEZamir has ordered this Saturday “to advance in the preparation for the implementation of the first phase of the Trump plan for the release of hostages.”
There is no details about whether this implies paralyzing the attacks in Gaza from this first phase, but it drops that their troops will be pending only to defend themselves. Advocates “maintaining a high level of alert and surveillance, in addition to strengthening the need for a Quick response to neutralize any threat“.
Israeli newspapers say that there has already been an operational change. Although this same night there have been attacks that have caused at least 9 dead, according to medical sources of Palestinian territory, everything is paralyzed to “exclusively defensive operations“.
Trump said one of the roads to be able to carry out the peace plan is to stop Israel’s hostilities. Therefore, his first reaction has been to ask for the end of the bombings in the strip to “release hostages safely and quickly.”
“In many ways this is not precedent (…) All were united in the desire that this war would end for the good of the Middle East and we are close to achieving it, “said the Republican leader.
The 20 points of the plan
The proposal launched by the White House has 20 points that, from now on, will be part of the negotiations between all parties. Among them, is the end of terrorism and re -urbanization in Gaza.
It is also contemplated that the Israelis will withdraw to the agreed line to prepare the release of hostages and the war will end immediately if the parties agree to move forward with the planning.
After the passage of Hamas, the document made public forces that in the 72 hours following the public acceptance of Israel They must be released to all hostages, alive and dead.
In turn, Tel Aviv will fulfill its part and will have to release 250 prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment and 1700 gazati detained. But amnesty is also offered for members of the Islamist militia, there will be humanitarian aid in Gaza.
But there is still a long way to go on the way to how Gaza will be governed since then. The position of Hamas has little to do with the “Board of Peace”, which Trump proposed, directed by President Donald J. Trump, with other members and heads of state to announce, and which includes former Prime Minister Tony Blair.
But before the 20 points detailed by the White House begin to discuss all parties. Hamas’s ‘yes’ brings the positions, although they are still far away, so that there is a real peace in Gaza. As in each agreement, high the fire or peace plan, there is a lack of understanding and that everyone complies with. Before seeing what the evolution of the negotiations will be, The strip is facing a new stage, seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
