Gaza War: Will the Gaza Strip see a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas after the Lebanon deal? – BBC News Arabic

The Palestinian writer and political analyst, Dr. Hossam Al-Dajani, believes in a statement to the program “Dialogue Point” that “if there is a single international will to put pressure on Israel Resolution No. 2735 from the UN Security Council regarding the ceasefire in Gaza, and the vision of US President Joe Biden, will increase the chances of reaching an agreement.”

Al-Dajani attributed this to several reasons, including that “the Palestinian resistance is adopting this approach, which will result in a lull for years that will allow the international community to investigate the root of the problem, which is ending Israel’s occupation of Palestine. .”

He says, “Israeli society has become more willing to complete an agreement that it considers very important, which will release 101 Israeli prisoners in Gaza, with Netanyahu signing an agreement with Lebanon.”

Al-Dajani concludes by saying, “Biden and Trump have a desire to complete a deal.

However, if things are left as they were before, it is likely that Netanyahu will make more progress in Gaza to implement the plans and vision of his allies in the ruling coalition. “

Analysts believe that the factors that contributed to reaching the Lebanon agreement may not be available to the same extent for the Gaza Strip.

Lebanon is a large, sovereign country with relations with countries around the world, and the Hezbollah group has sponsored the Lebanese government to negotiate.

On the other hand, Hamas is leading the negotiations themselves and refuses to trust the PLO or the Palestinian Authority with this matter.

Analysts also point out that they have not reached an agreement on the Palestinian division between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, politically and geographically, and without a sovereign state capable of managing the reconciliation process. .

Writer and political analyst Fathi Sabah, who is currently displaced from north to south on the Gaza Strip, said in an interview with the BBC that among the factors that helped bring the Lebanese agreement to light was ” that Hezbollah did not initiate the attack. on Israel, but Hamas was the one who started it.” The war came after he started a major attack against Israel, so Israel believes that the main battle is Gaza, not Lebanon he says, and Israel would not have cared about the attack on Lebanon if it had not he believed that he had been eliminated “Hamas’ capabilities are all in Gaza, so I felt there was an important opportunity to eliminate Hezbollah as well, the Houthis, and everyone who fight.”

The second factor, according to Sabah, is “the guise of the conflict. Hezbollah left a heavy impact on the Israelis and caused them pain by bombing cities.” The main blocs Aviv and Haifa, and announced that Beirut was against Tel Aviv.

Among the factors, Sabah says, “Major countries stood by Lebanon and rejected what they said was Israel’s attack against Beirut, even if they could not stop it, but they asked for an agreement to find to stop that war. “

There is also an important feature, according to the writer Fathi Sabbah, which is that “Lebanon does not have Israeli prisoners as in Gaza, and Netanyahu himself took advantage of the prisoners’ file to publish, publish and running away from the alluring corruption cases. to him, especially the recent leaks that came out of his office, and he’s only using the Israeli prisoner file.”

Sabah said that “Hezbollah has shown more flexibility than Hamas, which is more rigid in its positions in an effort to achieve an important agreement to ensure that the suffering of the people in Gaza will stop amid the concessions Hezbollah has agreed to withdraw from each other from Gaza, and to stop a tie to reach an agreement in Lebanon to stop… “The war in Gaza first, as it has always been called.”

US President Joe Biden said his country will make efforts with mediators to reach a cease-fire agreement in Gaza and end the war without Hamas in power.

Biden added in a post on the “X” website after reaching the Lebanon agreement: “In the coming days, the United States will make another effort with Turkey, Egypt, Qatar, Israel, and others, to reach a ceasefire in Gaza. , release detainees, and end the war without Hamas in power.”

On the other hand, Hamas said it was committed to “cooperating with any ceasefire efforts in Gaza,” after the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon came into effect.

Hamas said in a statement: “We express our commitment to cooperate with any cease-fire efforts in Gaza, and we are concerned to stop the attack against our people,” but -within the limits of “a cease-fire, the withdrawal of the occupying forces, the return of those who were displaced, and the conclusion of a true and complete prisoner exchange contract.”

Months of talks aimed at reaching a truce made little progress. The talks have now stalled after Qatar, which is making mediation efforts, said it had told both parties it would suspend its efforts until both sides were willing to make concessions. .

Hamas holds Netanyahu responsible for not reaching a cease-fire agreement to end the war on Gaza, while Netanyahu accuses Hamas of obstructing efforts and says it cannot to end the war before Hamas is destroyed.
