In a new development on the path of the crisis in Gaza, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a comprehensive plan to end the war, which received wide acclaim from world leaders, while the ongoing challenges on the ground represent a real test of its feasibility.
The plan, revealed after Trump's meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is based on several key pillars: the release of Israeli prisoners, the disarmament of Hamas, and the formation of a Palestinian technocratic committee to manage Gaza under the supervision of an "International Peace Council" chaired by Trump himself.
The international welcome of the plan reflects the desire of the international community to end the war that has left tragic humanitarian conditions. The European Union described it as a "chance for lasting peace," while Turkey praised Trump's efforts to stop the bloodshed. Even Russia expressed hope for peace in the region.
However, a careful reading of the plan's provisions reveals significant complexities. The issue of disarming Hamas represents a fundamental point of contention, and the mechanism for direct international oversight of Gaza raises questions about the respect for Palestinian will. Trump's threat to support Israel if Hamas rejects the plan adds a new dimension to the equation.
Ironically, many European countries, while welcoming the plan, simultaneously emphasized the necessity of a two-state solution as the only path to peace, while Trump's plan lacks any clear reference to this solution. This contradiction may indicate a gap between the American vision and the international perception of the final solution.
The real dilemma remains how to reconcile Israel's security demands with legitimate Palestinian rights. While the plan focuses on the security aspect, the political side still seems largely absent.
The current moment represents a critical crossroads. Acceptance of the plan may open the door to ending human suffering, but its rejection could mean the continuation of the war and escalating violence. Success will depend on the ability of the various parties to make concessions and find a compromise that balances security and dignity.
The American plan remains an attempt to escape the current impasse, but achieving true peace requires a more comprehensive vision that addresses the roots of the conflict, not just its symptoms. The Palestinian people, who have suffered for decades, deserve more than just a ceasefire; they deserve a just solution that guarantees their dignity and national rights.
