Hamas and Israel have agreed to a ceasefire, bringing relief to Gaza after months of conflict that caused significant loss of life and destruction.
Despite the ceasefire, uncertainty persists, particularly regarding Israel’s partial withdrawal from Gaza and the release of hostages.
The ceasefire will be implemented in three phases, starting with the release of hostages and prisoners, followed by further exchanges, and then discussions about Gaza’s future leadership.
Negotiations for the later phases could face difficulties, especially regarding Israel’s objectives of destroying Hamas and securing hostages, which have not been fully achieved.
Despite heavy losses, Hamas has survived and rebuilt, raising questions about Israel’s military tactics.
A potential solution involves forming a united Palestinian government under the Palestinian Authority and focusing on Gaza’s reconstruction, which requires Israel’s full troop withdrawal from the region.
