Gaza, Historic Peace Agreement

 

The Gaza peace plan was officially signed in the Egyptian city of Sharm el-Sheikh. During a solemn ceremony, the presidents of the United States, Egypt, Turkey and the Emir of Qatar signed the Gaza ceasefire agreement. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was also present at the ceremony. On this occasion, President Trump said that today is a historic day, the ceasefire agreement has started a new era in the Middle East.

After a long and bloody chapter of two years, a new dawn has dawned in the wounded region of the Middle East. The ceasefire agreement that has been signed between Israel and the Palestinian resistance group Hamas has not only lit a ray of hope in the hearts of millions of Palestinians but has also come before the world as a rare successful chapter in global diplomacy.

As a result of the two-year-long Israeli aggression on Gaza, more than 67,000 lives have been lost, more than 100,000 have been injured and millions have been displaced. These numbers are not just numbers, but behind each one there is a story, a family and a dream.  The new peace agreement between Nimrah and Israel in October 2025 is a sign that perhaps the time is near when their new Syria will be born from the ashes of war. Gaza, with a population of 123 million, has been reduced to ruins, while the population of Gaza is facing the worst famine in history. The United Nations says that the Gaza Strip is facing the worst hunger and food shortages on earth, but despite the peace agreement, the problems have not ended yet. Israel is insisting on the complete disarmament of Hamas, while Hamas is insisting on recognizing its political status. There is still a lack of trust between the two sides, and if the peace process is renegotiated or becomes controversial, violence could take its toll.

The peace agreement is a welcome step, but it is premature to say to what extent it will enable the establishment of a separate and independent Palestinian state.  The main objective behind the Israeli attacks has been to expel Palestinian Muslims from Gaza and establish full control over it, while the West Bank is already under Israeli control on all sides. If the first phase of Trump’s 20-point plan is completed, the details of the subsequent phases will be discussed later. However, it may be difficult for Hamas to agree to many of the 20-point plan’s provisions, as Hamas has previously refused to lay down its arms, saying it will do so only when a Palestinian state is established. Another important sticking point is the extent of the Israeli military withdrawal. Israel says its initial withdrawal will leave it in control of about 53 percent of Gaza. According to the White House plan, this will be followed by a withdrawal of 40 percent and then 15 percent.  In the final phase, the withdrawal of Israeli forces will take place to a designated "security buffer zone," which will leave a portion of Gaza under Israeli military control while an international administrative body will oversee the interim period. The status of East Jerusalem and the return of Palestinian refugees to their homelands are two of the central issues of contention between Israel and Palestine in the two-state solution. Due to these factors, Israel has launched a campaign of genocide against Palestinian Muslims, which aims to completely bury the two-state solution plan and establish its control over these areas by expelling Palestinian Muslims from their homes. Therefore, Israel is pursuing a policy of increasing the construction of Jewish settlements day by day. How President Trump Got His Way The success of the recent peace agreement depends on the fact that US President Trump remains committed to his commitment to some extent and uses his leverage over Israel to ensure the implementation of the peace agreement with Israel. Meanwhile, the implementation of this plan requires the correct demarcation of Palestinian land.Many questions remain about the timing and scope of the Israeli withdrawal, the role of the International Stabilization Force (ISF), and the long-term impact of the plan on the Palestinian people in Gaza and the occupied West Bank. Rebuilding Gaza could take a decade or more, costing hundreds of billions of dollars. Ten years ago, the United States formed a global coalition to rebuild Mosul, Iraq, after the city fell to the ground after a year-long battle against ISIS. Under the peace deal, the committee and administration that will take over the management and administration of Nimra will not include a single representative of Gaza’s 2.3 million people. Gazans have become dependent on a foreign administrative team for all their basic needs, headed by former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.  It is not that the people of Gaza lack capable people. Even if the people are appointed from outside Gaza, then even in that case, there are excellent experts with Palestinian backgrounds in the US and UK, but no Palestinian has been included in the committee. Believe it or not, they have clearly stated that they will not allow an independent Palestinian state to be established. However, if we look at the UN resolutions and the agreements made so far, we will study them. If we look at the decision of the International Court of Justice against Israel in the South Africa v. Israel case last year, we can see that the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, which is known to the capital, guarantees lasting peace. Will the world see the dream of an independent Palestinian state come true? This question will be answered in the coming months and years. But the destruction of Nazra is a much more complicated matter. According to Israeli experts, there is a 300-mile-long network of tunnels here, which was built over two decades, and the world did nothing to stop it.  The presence of US President Donald Trump on this occasion and his endorsement of the agreement are an indication that the US is now willing to prioritize political understanding and diplomatic action over a policy of mere military force or conditional support. The role of Egypt, Qatar and Turkey in this effort cannot be ignored, as they have very carefully and patiently paved a diplomatic path that was acceptable to both sides.

It is welcome that world powers are now being forced to acknowledge the fact that the fate of the Palestinians should be decided not from outside, but from within. However, the political peace agreement is certainly a milestone in its place, but it is still premature to call it a destination. History teaches us that ceasefire agreements were reached many times in the past in Gaza, the West Bank, Jerusalem and other Palestinian areas, but they could not prove to be lasting.  The main reason for this is distrust, the imbalance of power, the settlement policy and the continued refusal to establish a Palestinian state. If Israel really wants peace, it will not only have to withdraw unconditionally from the Palestinian territories but will also have to recognize a Palestinian state. It should also be remembered that the immediate reconstruction of Gaza and the provision of basic humanitarian facilities there are absolutely essential for the success of this agreement. Two years of bombing, siege and economic blockade have reduced Gaza to ruins. If the world and the world want peace, it should focus on the ground realities instead of relying only on resolutions or agreements. The restoration of basic facilities such as schools, hospitals, water supply and employment should be the top priority.

Finally, we should not forget that peace is not achieved in a day. It is a long and patient process. There are many possibilities of failures, betrayals and setbacks in this process, but if the intentions are clear and the international community is grateful, it can be made possible.  This Gaza deal is an opportunity for the world to move itself in a better, more humane and peaceful direction. This is the time to celebrate the bloodline in the Middle East and carve out a future where Palestinians, Israelis, Arabs and people around the world can live together in peace, justice and respect, and history will not forgive us.
