Trump's Gaza Plan: What Netanyahu's Agreement Means and Will Hamas Go for It - Rezazade
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to the peace agreement proposed by US President Donald Trump to end the war in Gaza, which has been going on for almost two years. The White House said that the document provides for an immediate cessation of hostilities and the release of hostages within 72 hours of the agreement of both sides.
At the same time, the main intrigue remains: will Hamas support this initiative?
International expert, first vice president of the Iranian opposition in Washington, Ali Reza Rezazade, emphasizes that Netanyahu's agreement is an important but not final step.
"Trump demonstrates a desire to go down in history as the president who stopped the war in the Middle East. His rhetoric - "eternal peace in civilization" - is a classic example of political symbolism. But the main problem is not the Israeli agreement, but whether Hamas is ready to give up its weapons and effectively control over Gaza,” Rezazade explains.
According to him, the Israeli agreement was predictable, because the agreement formally “achieves Israel’s military goals.” However, the main barrier is the position of the Palestinian movement. “For Hamas, the issue is not only the cessation of hostilities, but also the preservation of political legitimacy. If the plan means their disarmament and expulsion from Gaza, there is practically no chance of a quick agreement,” the expert believes.
Rezazade also emphasizes that behind the facade of solemn statements in Washington lies the US desire to restart the architecture of Middle East policy. “Trump is trying to demonstrate that he can do what his predecessors failed to do: unite Israel and key Arab partners around a single plan. But the reality is much more complicated - without a real compromise with the Palestinian side, no scenario will become long-term,” he notes.
Hamas, meanwhile, said that it would consider the proposal if it “does not contradict the interests of the Palestinians.” According to the expert, this is a signal that the movement is trying to buy time and demonstrate that it does not reject dialogue, but is not ready to give up key positions.
“The current plan is more of a diplomatic experiment than a real breakthrough. If Hamas does not sign the agreement, Trump has already promised “full support for Israel,” which actually legitimizes further military action. This means that peace does not depend on signatures under the document, but on the extent to which the parties are willing to sacrifice their own political interests,” Rezazade concluded.
