The theory that “Only Trump can stop Netanyahu” It has been tested in practice by midnight on Friday, when the staircase of statements in the US, Israel and Qatar began for a possible ceasefire.
Under the pressure of the strict American telegram, he announced that he was ready to release the Israeli hostages to save the people of Gaza from extinction. President Trump then stated convinced that the Islamist organization ‘It’s ready for a constant peace’ And he claimed from Israel to stop the bombings immediately. He said in turn that Israel “He is ready to implement the first stage of the Trump plan to liberate all hostages”.
Israeli military units in the city of Gaza were ordered to stop the advance and occupy “defensive positions”, as reported by Israel’s media. Hamas personally thanked Trump for his efforts, but asked for negotiation for most parts of the peace plan, such as. However, it avoided commenting on the provisions of the plan for disarmament, amnesty or safe exit of its strip executives.
Suspicion of provocation
The rays of hope for ending two -year war are accompanied by suspicion as an accidental, unpredictable event or provocation could undermine the process. If Hamas finally releases 20 life hostages and delivers the bodies of the other 28 Israeli, he will lose the only negotiating paper left in the ruined gauze.
On the other hand, the Netanyahu government demands that there are no delay or other obstacles to the liberation of all hostages. THE Muse Abu Marzuka member of the organization’s political office, he told Al Jazeera that under the current circumstances it is not realistic to expect the release of hostages within 72 hours provided by the plan while stressing that “Palestinians will never accept to be ruled by strangers, let alone commander of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair who destroyed Iraq.”.
Two years since October 7th
Today, two years ago, Hamas’ leaders in Gaza made the latest preparations for the attack that would “sleep” Israel’s security services in the early morning of October 7. After the initial surprise, the massacre with 1,200 dead in the Kibbutz and the Nova Festival, the Israeli army passed the counterattack against the “beasts” who seized 250 hostages ,. War operations expanded to Lebanon, Iran (with immediate US involvement that bombed the facilities of the nuclear program), Syria and Yemen, giving birth to new impasses and “opportunities” for changing regional correlations.
The Gaza Strip was leveled, almost all of its population was displaced and starving, the Palestinians count over 66,000 dead and 170,000 injured. Most of the brains of the October 7th attack are dead. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has survived politically and claims a role in King David because he has been severely hit on the country’s greatest enemies, but the Jewish state is accused by the UN Committee on Genocide for Genocide.
Protectorate for 5 years
The US has offered Israel a way out of international isolation with the plan that Trump and Netanyahu have jointly presented to the White House. The US president gave Netanyahu’s political coverage to “finish the job” in Gaza if Hamas did not succumb, while bringing to his own measures the plan of France and Saudi Arabia, removing the solution of the two states that remain a red sail for Israeli.
Netanyahu reassured his far -right partners that in fact the army would remain in much of the Gaza Strip as the Trump plan has no clear timetables, nor does it clarify who and on what terms will oversee their observance. However, his partners accuse him of excessive concessions and threaten to throw the government. In this case, Israel will go to early elections even if Netanyahu is temporarily supported by the current opposition parties.
The plan turns Gaza into an international protectorate for at least five years, designates Trump, president of a peace council that will oversee the demilitarization of the area and the management of everyday life by “apolitical” locals and foreign technocrats. All of this is supposed to be done with the help of an international armed force from Arabic and Muslim countries, with possible participation of Turkey.
Essentially, which comes on the sidelines and is not even recognized as an official interlocutor by Netanyahu. Hamas, however, ruled Gaza alone after his victory in the 2006 Palestinian elections and the conflict with Fatah in 2007 while receiving financial assistance from Qatar with the tolerance of the Israeli government. Netanyahu on the one hand was talking about a “hamustan” in Gaza and on the other he scored the influence of the Palestinian Authority, until the October 7 attack came.
Hamas’ two faces
Until last Friday, the Islamist organization appeared with two people: the political leadership was negotiating from Doha the future of the organization, while the local leadership in Gaza was determined to take the Israeli hostage to the other world rather than accepting the Plan. Now Hamas will attempt to present the agreement as a “victory of the Palestinian resistance” in Gaza ruins while Netanyahu will argue that with the liberation of hostages “all the goals of the war have been fulfilled”. Both will find it difficult to convince their audiences.
