Ceasefire deal: What comes next for Gaza and Israel?

The ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel is likely to conclude this painful and long chapter for both Gazans and Israelis. Gaza has been totally demolished; many innocent lives have been lost over the past one and a half years. In addition to the demises and destruction in both Gaza and Israel, the fight will be memorised for broadening the hole over the possibility of a two-state solution. 

For many Middle Eastern nations and European countries, the battle was a turning moment to reprioritise or express their consent for an independent and sovereign state of Palestine. However, the fighting has also reshaped the Middle East in more surprising manners. After months of tit-for-tat episodes between Israel and Hezbollah initiated by the Lebanon-based party striking Israel on October 8 and originally pledging not to quit until there was a cease-fire in Gaza, the group now utterly declined. 

Group’s capacities have been eliminated, and its administration has been destroyed. That development is shifting Lebanon, where a new prime minister and the president are taking authority, offering hope to many in the land that, for the first time in decades, the group will not be holding the ropes. The battle has also led to the collapse of the Assad government in Syria, and it has placed Iran in its most vulnerable place in the territory since the 1979 Revolution. 

The question is, now, what comes next for Gaza, Israel, and the area is less apparent. The truce has numerous steps that, if violated, could lead to a resumption of war. The truth is that Hamas is hammered, and much of the group’s administration has long desired a halt to the contest. In Israel, the Netanyahu administration is also likely to violate the deal. 

Incoming President Donald Trump has made apparent that he desires a sustainable truce in business by the moment he reaches office. Halting the deal could threaten Israel’s connection with the latest Trump government, and it could potentially risk coordination and Israeli approach importance being provided due regard when it comes to Iran. Iran is, after all, the topic that Netanyahu considers as the most significant in the association. In the long term, the rebuilding of Gaza, the safety of Israel, and the fate of certainty all remain opaque.

Most distressing of all, numerous in Gaza are questioning why their dear ones are extinct or disabled, their homes demolished, their businesses destroyed, and their livelihood in shambles. The incoming US administration’s regional preferences, associated with the chance of a rejuvenated inspiration for a stable operation, may be the best longing for Gaza’s recovery, renaissance, reconstruction, and evolution.
