Israel’s army is actively preparing for the initial phase of former President Trump’s peace plan aimed at resolving the ongoing Gaza conflict and facilitating the return of hostages, following Hamas’s conditional acceptance of the proposal. Trump’s initiative has received endorsement from Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, though skepticism persists regarding Hamas’s genuine commitment to demilitarization and the comprehensive execution of the plan. This development underscores the complexities of Middle Eastern geopolitics, where peace efforts often hinge on trust and verification. The situation reflects the broader challenges faced by international actors in mediating conflicts, particularly in regions marked by longstanding hostilities and divergent interests.
