Amidst escalating tensions in the region, the recently brokered ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas in Gaza is now facing doubts over its sustainability.
The ceasefire, which came into effect on May 21st, followed 11 days of intense fighting between Israeli forces and Hamas militants in Gaza. The conflict resulted in the deaths of over 250 Palestinians and 12 Israelis, drawing international concern and calls for immediate de-escalation.
Both Israel and Hamas have signaled their willingness to abide by the terms of the ceasefire, which were mediated by Egypt. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the military objectives of the operation were achieved, while Hamas claimed the ceasefire as a victory for the Palestinian people.
However, underlying issues such as the ongoing Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories, the blockade of Gaza, and the evictions of Palestinian families in East Jerusalem remain unresolved. These deep-rooted issues pose a significant challenge to the long-term viability of the ceasefire.
Israeli concerns over Hamas’ rearmament and the group’s demands for a lifting of the blockade on Gaza could potentially reignite hostilities. Similarly, Hamas is wary of Israel’s intentions regarding the evictions in East Jerusalem and the status of Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The international community, including the United Nations and the United States, has called for a lasting peaceful solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The UN has emphasized the need for humanitarian aid to Gaza and a renewed push for a two-state solution.
As both sides cautiously observe the ceasefire, the coming days will be crucial in determining whether the agreement can hold amid deep-seated grievances and unresolved geopolitical tensions.
