The ceasefire signed between Israel and Hamas It is a historic end of a fierce and bloody conflict with thousands of dead and displaced in Gaza.
However In spite of the signature of the truce between Israel and Hamasthe next day in Gaza It’s not rosy as opens a new uncertain circle in the area With reference to its rebuilding and control of power.
With the start of a truce Thousands of Palestinians began to return to the damaged gauze While the first humanitarian missions made their appearance in the enclave.
The UN and other international organizations appear ready to help immediately address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and daily send dozens of trucks with food and medicines.
However, the reality is relentless! Over 60% of buildings have been damaged or suffered by serious damage While they have collapsed fully critical infrastructure such as Hospitals, electricity and water networks, supermarkets and food and clothing purchases.
As it is known, the truce is accompanied by a plan to create an international stabilization force (ISF) that will oversee safety and distribution.
However, the success of the mission will depend on its political independence and adequacy of resources, and if it fails the problems of survival they will again electrify the atmosphere in the damaged Gaza.
Who will have the power in Gaza
A crossword for strong solvers is who will have the power in the Gaza Strip both at the governmental level and on the… streets of the area.
Hamas, despite the overwhelming losses, maintains strength and influence in sections of gauze is intended to reconstitute both politically and have a say in developments.
At the same time, the Palestinian Authority seeks to take power again with the support of Western and Arab states, but citizens’ confidence has been shaken while a possibility of coexistence of two principles of power should be considered prohibitive.
Role in Gaza wants and Israel who will not leave power so easily in the hands of Palestinians Or to be precise he will not want to have an active role in the area regardless of the administration.
Also the US will also have its own role in the region and the new administration will have its complete approval as Donald Trump wants to boost his country’s role in both Gaza and the Middle East.
The wider scene in the Middle East
The truce in Gaza between Israel and Hamas affects the entire Middle East as Egypt as a guarantor force, initially gains a decisive role in border management and peace supervision.
At the same time Qatar and Turkey are taking on the roles of intermediaries and funding reconstruction, trying to strengthen their political prestige, and will also want to have a say in political developments in the Gaza Strip.
Close to Iran and its close allies such as Hezbollah in Lebanon and Houthi in Yemen are closely watching developments as they want to keep in the pressure scene towards Israel.
The US wants to force all the “players” on the Middle East “chessboard” to maintain the truce, while Israel will try to balance its pressure both internationally and inside the election.
All of this brings the area to a fragile and sensitive balance while a small episode or violation could lead to a new blood bath.
The equation remains critical and the great challenge is not to lose this historical moment but to mean constant peace in both Gaza and the Middle East.
The four key factors that will judge the truce
Gaza truce between Israel and Hamas will be adhered to First if there are no serious violations on both sides but also by their allies.
Second if the promises of rebuilding Gaza and the end of the humanitarian crisis will be complied withOtherwise they will again strengthen the city guerrillas and create problems with attacks in the area.
Third if the local authorities resulting in Gaza will be able to work together Without problems but also with Israel, the Arab countries and the mediators for peace.
Fourth if citizens begin to feel security again and how they have a future and perspective on Gaza And not that they are simply in a break and preparing for the next crisis in the area.
In short, the truce in the area is not peace but a continuous, painful and persistent process. Gaza is at a crucial crossroads. If the ruins are turned into foundations for a better future or if we just have to prepare for the next bloodshed.
Whether it will succeed or not will determine not only the future of the Gaza Strip but also the whole of the Middle East.
