Netanyahu succeeds in creating new complications for the Gaza agreement during his visit to Washington

Despite talk of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accepting the transition to the second phase of the Gaza agreement, he practically succeeded in creating new complications during his visit to the United States, analysts say these are mainly related to his election plans and his efforts to close files that must be closed before Donald Trump leaves the White House.

An American website reported from sources that Netanyahu -wanted by the International Criminal Court- agreed to move to the second phase of the Gaza agreement, with a US commitment to allow him military action if the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) refuses to relinquish its weapons.

Channel 12 also reported from sources that Israeli authorities are preparing to open the Rafah border crossing with Egypt from both sides in implementation of the Trump-Netanyahu agreement.

However, this step and others are merely a solution to crises fabricated by Netanyahu and which he was obligated to in the agreement, so that his commitment to it becomes a kind of concession, as said by Dr. Laqaa Makki, senior researcher at a research center.

According to what Makki said in the program "Beyond the News," Netanyahu wanted to enter his election year crowned with American support for his person and behavior, which he actually obtained during his meeting with Trump.

The question, as Makki says, revolves around what Netanyahu got in return for making concessions in the Gaza file, in which he showed great rigidity since the agreement took effect, which indicates that what was revealed after the meeting is much more than what was actually discussed.

While the Israeli Prime Minister narrowed the gaps between him and Trump in several files, he succeeded in creating new complications for the Gaza agreement, in the view of Dr. Ibrahim Al-Madhoun, director of the Palestinian Media Foundation, who confirms that Hamas knows there are problems "bigger than those raised by the media."

These complications -in Al-Madhoun's view- lie in not answering the necessary questions related to the form of the committee that will administer the sector and the international force that will ensure stability in it, which places many obstacles in the way of implementing the agreement.

These complications stem from Netanyahu's desire to sabotage the agreement and the resistance's desire to implement it, while the United States is completely biased towards Israel and the mediators are unable to exert any pressure, according to Al-Madhoun.

However, what is being talked about in the Israeli media suggests that what came out of the statements contradicts what happened in the closed rooms between Netanyahu and Trump, as said by Dr. Adel Shadid, researcher on Israeli affairs.

Washington does not want to return to war despite Trump's statements about the possibility of allowing Israel to do so, and it has not been convinced by Netanyahu's position on Turkey's participation in the international force to be formed, in Shadid's view, who expected more escalation in Lebanon.

The talk in Israeli media also indicates Trump's rejection of opening the Rafah crossing unilaterally to displace the population, in response to the Egyptian position, which Shadid says appears firm on this issue to the extent that it prompted the Americans to rethink it.

Makki agreed with this talk by saying there will be no war again in Gaza, and that the real green light that Netanyahu obtained during the visit may be in Lebanon, because Hezbollah represents an urgent matter for Israel.

Makki concluded that there is a lot of harmony between the United States and Israel in most files, and that "Netanyahu achieved everything he wanted in Gaza while files such as relations with Turkey, Iran, Yemen, Iraq, and Lebanon still need to be closed before the end of Trump's rule, which represents an irreplaceable opportunity for Israel."
