📌Hamas is crediting Donald Trump for the recent ceasefire-hostage deal with Israel, saying it wouldn’t have happened without him. This deal is a significant development, marking a temporary end to the conflict between Israel and Hamas. According to experts, Trump’s involvement played a crucial role in brokering the agreement.
📌The “Trump effect” is being cited as a key factor, with the president-elect’s threat of “all hell breaking loose” in the Middle East if the captives weren’t released before his inauguration reportedly pushing the parties to reach a compromise. The deal itself involves a phased release of hostages and prisoners, with Israel agreeing to release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas.
📌The agreement also includes provisions for increased humanitarian aid to Gaza and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from certain areas. While the deal is seen as a positive step, concerns remain about the long-term implications and the potential for renewed conflict. Some experts are cautioning that the deal may not lead to a lasting peace and that the underlying issues driving the conflict remain unresolved.
