Despite the initial implementation of U.S. President Donald Trump's peace plan for Gaza, a British newspaper warned that this breakthrough conceals fundamental problems that could undermine the agreement.
The newspaper points out that there are two main dilemmas related to the mechanism for complete Israeli withdrawal and the disarmament of Hamas, which constitute ticking time bombs threatening the continuity of the ceasefire.
The first dilemma concerns the ambiguity of the complete withdrawal, as the occupation still retains control over more than half of the Gaza Strip, opening the door to a potential Israeli disruption of the withdrawal process.
The second dilemma is the issue of disarming Hamas, which is considered a ticking bomb, as the plan lacks any mechanisms for monitoring and verifying implementation, meaning that the chances of renewed escalation remain very high.
It is worth noting the recent Israeli statements emphasizing the continued presence of occupation forces in Gaza until Hamas is completely disarmed, which increases tensions.
The newspaper concluded that the current ceasefire is not doomed to failure entirely, but its foundation is fragile, and if it collapses, the remaining provisions of Trump's plan will become mere unattainable wishes.
If this foundation collapses due to disagreements over withdrawal and disarmament, the remaining provisions of Trump's plan will become mere wishes.
