Now, after the announcement of an agreement between Hamas and Israel to implement the first phase of (US President Donald Trump’s Middle East peace plan), or rather after President Trump imposed his peace plan on Israel, Hamas, and the Arabs, what happens now:

The fighting in Gaza has stopped (ceasefire). Afterwards,

food and medical aid will enter Gaza after a long, brutal, and unjust siege.

The biggest loser (humanitarian) is the Palestinian people in Gaza; hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded, Gaza destroyed over its people’s heads, and a cruel and brutal siege on all means of life; yet they showed legendary resilience beyond imagination. They amazed the world and gained the sympathy of its peoples!

The biggest loser (politically) is Netanyahu, who will not remain in office and whose government will soon fall. Israel is no longer seen as the democratic state that was attacked and sympathized with, but rather as a criminal terrorist state in the eyes of many countries that shed the blood of children and unarmed civilians and destroyed cities; there is significant international and popular sympathy for the Palestinians, including official sympathy from some Western countries that did not exist before.

The first winner (militarily) is Hamas, which withstood Israel for two full years of continuous fighting; its military and logistical resources nearly depleted, so the agreement came at the last minute for them.

The two-state solution has become a necessary option for the West in general and the Arab countries, which will impose it on Israel. There are UN guarantees to prevent Netanyahu from breaking the agreement as it is not in his interest; it is in his interest for the fighting in Gaza to continue until its people are eliminated and occupied, which is openly declared in Israel (there is no innocence in Gaza).

A Palestinian Authority

The two-state solution may guarantee many Palestinians in the diaspora a return to Palestine; this will create a new logistical reality.

Disarming Hamas and the resistance factions and transforming Hamas into a political party.

The future of the current Palestinian Authority is precarious, and its fate is likely to fall soon and be replaced by a new Palestinian authority elected by the Palestinians.

The presence of a UN authority in Gaza (forming a transitional peace council to manage Gaza after the war) guarantees that Israel will not violate the peace agreement, provides security immunity to Gaza and this administration, and grants Gaza time for reconstruction and the establishment of a UN fund for that; it will end with the achievement of the two-state solution, which is a difficult and long path that Israel will not easily submit to.

The US-Israeli relationship is on edge, especially as Trump remains determined to implement all parts of his plan, some of which do not please Israel and were imposed on Netanyahu.

The Israeli opposition will rise to the forefront in the next phase to implement Trump’s plan to bring peace to the Middle East and may be able to topple Netanyahu.

But what comes after the first phase of liberating Gaza? What if Netanyahu goes mad and continues bombing Gaza?

Will Trump continue his series of changes in the Middle East and the world he dreams of?

Is the next step Iran or Ukraine, or will there be a reshuffling of the cards in Damascus? What is Iraq’s share of this change? Has the era of wars ended in the world? Has the era of electronic, economic, media, and psychological wars begun?

Has the era of Israel ended? To begin the era of Palestine? And many other questions we will find answers to soon, God willing.
