After 2 years of relentless war, Israel
and Hamas have agreed to a US brokered
ceasefire. The deal was first unveiled
in late September during a joint press
conference with Trump and Netanyahu and
was swiftly endorsed by leaders across
Europe and the Middle East. Among its 20
points to end the war in Gaza, the plan
calls for a temporary halt to
hostilities, a gradual Israeli
withdrawal to a defined line inside
Gaza, and a hostage prisoner exchange.
It also stipulates the return of
displaced Palestinians and the flow of
humanitarian aid into the strip where
famine was declared in August. If
implemented, the truce will bring a
muchneeded reprieve to Gaza. Still, both
Palestinians and Israelis remain
cautiously optimistic. The deal is a
staged process and only the first phase
has been agreed upon. What comes next is
uncertain. There are deep divisions
between Hamas and Israel, particularly
over disarmament, withdrawal, and Gaza's
political future. However, perhaps the
main concern is that Netanyahu, at risk
of government collapse, may harden his
stance to appease his far-right allies.
Doing so would slide Gaza back into low
inensity conflict. For all intents and
purposes, the hardest questions have
merely been postponed. The ceasefire
stops the war, but not the reason for
it. Trump's ceasefire is already showing
cracks. Israeli forces have opened fire
in Gaza, killing three people. But it's
not just the IDF pulling the trigger.
Internal clashes among Palestinian
factions are also escalating. Israel's
staged pullback to the yellow line is
bound to leave a power vacuum in the
strip and some armed clans are looking
to exploit, including groups that
previously collaborated with Israel to
undermine Hamas. This is such a dense
subject that it's almost certain to be
framed differently by both legacy media
and social media. To stay on top of
