Beyond the relevance of the 20 -point plan for put an end to war against Gaza presented by the US President Donald Trump In the White House on Monday, there is another word that defines it precisely: ambiguity. There are multiple chiaroscuros in that list of changes, to which Israel has already committed. Hamásto which Trump has given “three or four days” to decide, he continues to study his answer, which some sources point out that it could occur this Wednesday. However, hours after public celebrations, the prime minister Binyamine Netanyahu He has denied some of these commitments. Israeli troops will not withdraw from Gaza, as Trump guaranteed, nor will they facilitate the way to create a Palestinian state.
The statements of each 20 points promise various scenarios of doubtful viability. For example, there are details about how Hamas fighters will be prosecuted who have been guaranteed a amnesty and the possibility of exile if they release hostages and deliver weapons. It is not known how those gazaties who abandoned the enclave can return in the attempt to save the lives of an Israeli military offensive that has killed 66,000 Palestinians. Or it is not clear who will be the members of the new International Security Force proposed to control Gaza. Next, some of the most obvious unknowns of the Trump plan.
Shortly after leaving the White Housethe Israeli prime minister published a video in Hebrew on his social networks. “Now the whole world, including the Arab and Muslim world, is Pressing Hamas To accept the terms we create together with Trump, to bring back all the hostages, the living and the dead, while The Israeli army remains in most of the strip. Who would have believed it?!, ”He said, visibly happy. With this message, Netanyahu demonstrates his belief that now international pressure is no longer over Israel, but about the Palestinian group.
However, with this first statement, the Israeli leader contradicts one of the points of the Trump plan, which states that “Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza”And that his troops are They will withdraw “completely de Gazza, with the exception of a security perimeter. ”Netanyahu also responded with a“ flatly not ”that this plan would facilitate the way for the creation of a Palestinian State. Again, it is contradicted by point 19 of the plan:“ As the reconstruction of Gaza progresses and the reform program of the Palestinian authority is faithfully carried out, it is possible that finally the conditions for a credible path towards self -determination and the creation of a Palestinian state, which we recognize as the aspiration of the Palestinian people”.
In his plan, Trump announced that “Gaza will be governed by a Technocratic and Apolithic Palestinian Committee“, Which will be” composed of qualified Palestinians and international experts. “But in none of the 20 points there is a clarification about Who are the people that will form this government or how they will be selected. There is also no one calendar Specific on when your training would occur. In addition, this committee will be supervised by a “Peace Board” directed by Trump that includes the former British minister, Tony Blairand other foreign actors, but the road map does not explain how this relationship will be, nor what will be the decision process in both agencies.
On the other hand, another of the great unknowns is the Role of the Palestinian Authority (AP). During several points of the Trump Plan, it is explained that it will be subjected to a reform program before resuming Gaza control. But Netanyahu in the video insisted that Neither Hamas nor the AP They will be part of the civil administration that the Government assumes at the end of the war. “You probably don’t surprise you to know that an overwhelming majority of Israeli public does not believe that The AP really changes”, Said Prime Minister. It is not clear who will decide that the AP is ready to take control of Gaza or what requirements should meet so that the territory can govern.
Another of the great unknowns is the “International Temporary Stabilization Force” that Gaza would protect for some time. No country, except for Indonesiahas been willing to Send troops to Gaza. Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto said last Tuesday during the United Nations General Assembly in New York that his country is ready to deploy 20,000 peace forces In Gaza. But there are not many nations that lend themselves to deploy their security forces in a territory at all sure. It is unknown what are the criteria for them to be deployed, nor what their responsibilities nor its competences. These forces could act as an army, such as a police force or an observation body, and it is not known whether they could face Hamas or Israeli troops.
Despite the guarantees that exclude the possibility of annexation of Gaza and Ethnic cleaning of its population by Israel, there are some details ambiguous and lazy to which Tel Aviv could hold on to occupy part of Palestinian territory. Hamas faces that dilemma: on whether accepting or risking the Israeli occupation of Gaza. The plan indicates that Israel can indefinitely occupy an assumption “Security perimeter” Inside the enclave. But they have not established themselves chronographs To withdraw this area, so it depends on Israel’s will, which could decide to stay.
“Once again the Palestinians are asked to live as a captive population under Israeli control and domination total and complete, without any perspective of being A free people in their own country”, Says a Al Jazera Omar Baddar, a Palestinian-American political analyst based in Washington. In addition, the proposal does not recognize The right to a Palestinian statebut indicates that the status of state is something that the Palestinians seek, but not something they are entitled to.
Before the meeting of Trump and Netanyahu, the Israeli finance minister, the ultra -right -wing colonist Bezalel Smotrichannounced its red lines. After approval, he did not hesitate to call the plan “Rotundo diplomatic failure” that “will end in tears.” Throughout an extensive publication in X, he accused of “deliver our security to foreigners“And” waste “the opportunity to completely frustrate the ambitions of a Palestinian State.” Our children will be forced to fight again in Gaza, “he said.” Given the reality created by the International pressurethe destructive host campaign, the initial resignation of the Prime Minister Netanyahu to conquer Gaza and adopt the original Trump plan, the slowness of the army and the failure in bringing military leaders to the place we want, the hesitant coalition and natural war fatigue after two years of war, in the light of all that, there is no other option and This is the maximum that can be achieved At this time? ”Smotrich wondered.
