‘Everyone wants to close the deal,’ says Trump before finding Netanyahu

“There is no choice but to accept the plan,” Eytan Gilboa told AFP. For the expert in the relationship between Israel and the United States of Bar-Ilan University, this is because simply the United States and Trump are “almost the only allies he (Netanyahu) still has.”

In Israel, thousands of people have been repeatedly going to the streets to ask for a ceasefire. Yesterday, they install Trump to use their influence to reach it. “The only thing that can prevent the drop in the abyss is a complete and comprehensive agreement that puts an end to the war and brings all the hostages and the soldiers back home,” said Lishay Miran-Lavi, Omri Miran’s wife, still trapped in Gaza.

The international isolation of Israel has intensified in recent days. Several countries began to recognize the state of Palestine, including France, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia.

21-point American plan includes a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. According to a diplomatic source, the text also provides for the liberation of Israeli hostages arrested in Palestinian territory, the Israeli retreat and the future Gaza government without Hamas, whose attack of 7 October 2023 triggered the war.

Hamas Political Committee said he did not receive any official proposal from the mediators of Qatar and Egypt. The information was shared on Sunday night (afternoon in Brazil) by Hossam Badran of the Committee.

Arab and Muslim leaders welcomed the proposition. They asked the Israeli army to immediately overcome its offensive. However, some aspects may seem unacceptable to Netanyahu, which needs the support of the far right to support its government coalition. One of the most divergence points is the participation of the Palestinian Authority in the future Gaza government.
