In a significant development, Israel’s army has announced its readiness to move forward with the initial phase of US President Donald Trump’s plan to bring an end to the conflict in Gaza. This move comes after Hamas reportedly accepted certain aspects of the peace proposal, prompting President Trump to call for a cessation of hostilities. However, despite these diplomatic overtures, Israel launched a series of airstrikes and artillery attacks on Gaza City overnight, underscoring the fragility of the situation.
According to a report by France 24, two envoys representing President Trump are set to engage in discussions with Egyptian officials to explore the possibility of securing the release of hostages in Gaza. Meanwhile, Israeli forces have intensified their military operations across the region, raising concerns about the potential for further escalation.
The US-backed peace plan has elicited a range of reactions from experts and commentators. Political scientist Stephen Walt has criticized the intervention as “one-sided” and “unserious,” casting doubt on its ability to deliver lasting peace. On the other hand, there is growing optimism among some observers that a breakthrough may be on the horizon. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces a delicate balancing act as he navigates the shifting dynamics of the peace process, with the international community closely monitoring his response.
As the situation in Gaza continues to evolve, it remains to be seen whether the US-backed peace plan will pave the way for a sustainable resolution to the longstanding conflict. The coming days are likely to be pivotal in determining the trajectory of peace efforts in the region.
