Breakthrough in Gaza: Hamas Revises Ceasefire Terms as Israel Returns to Negotiation Table
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Efforts to secure a ceasefire and the release of hostages in Gaza gained traction on Friday, following a revised proposal from Hamas and Israel’s decision to resume stalled negotiations. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informed U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday of his plan to send a delegation to restart talks, led by the head of the Mossad intelligence agency. Biden welcomed this move, and a source within Israel’s negotiating team, speaking anonymously, expressed optimism about the potential for reaching an agreement.

Shift in Hamas’ Conditions

In a significant shift, Hamas has adjusted its conditions, no longer demanding an Israeli commitment to a permanent ceasefire before signing an agreement. Instead, Hamas has agreed to allow negotiations to achieve a permanent ceasefire over a six-week initial phase.

“Should the sides need more time to seal an agreement on a permanent ceasefire, the two sides should agree there would be no return to fighting until they do that,” a Palestinian official involved in the peace efforts told Reuters.

Opposition to Foreign Forces

Hamas has expressed its rejection of the presence of foreign forces in Gaza, opposing any plan to deploy an international contingent to maintain peace in the Palestinian enclave. The Popular Resistance Committees (PRC), an ally of Hamas, echoed this sentiment, declaring that they would consider any international forces in Gaza as occupiers.

Regional Tensions

The ongoing war in Gaza has exacerbated regional tensions, leading to exchanges of fire across Israel’s northern border with the Iran-backed Hezbollah group in Lebanon. Hamas has communicated to Hezbollah that it has agreed to a ceasefire proposal in Gaza, which Hezbollah’s leader reportedly welcomed. “If there is a Gaza agreement, then from zero hour there will be a ceasefire in Lebanon,” said a Hezbollah official, highlighting their support for the Palestinians through rocket and drone attacks on northern Israel.

Domestic Political Challenges

Domestically, Netanyahu faces potential challenges from his far-right coalition partners, who have indicated they may leave the government if the war ends before Hamas is destroyed. This departure could jeopardize Netanyahu’s premiership. Tensions within the coalition were evident at a recent cabinet meeting, where far-right partner Itamar Ben Gvir accused security and defense officials of resuming Gaza talks without consulting him.

Gazan Reaction and Humanitarian Needs

In Gaza, the prospect of renewed talks has been met with cautious optimism by residents, who are in desperate need of aid such as food and drinking water. The only previous truce, agreed in November, lasted just seven days. “We in Gaza are people who sleep on death and wake up to death. We know that at any time we can die,” said Ibtisam Al-Athamna, a resident of Khan Younis who has been displaced multiple times during the conflict.

Bottom Line

The renewed efforts for a ceasefire and hostage release in Gaza signify a potential turning point in the protracted conflict. While there is cautious optimism from various stakeholders, significant challenges remain, including regional tensions, internal political dynamics in Israel, and the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza. The success of these negotiations will depend on the willingness of all parties to make concessions and work towards a lasting peace.
