It's not Netanyahu as much as it is US and European backing. Hamas is a small movement. We have to see if Israel honors the terms or if it tries making some surprise moves. It is monitoring Gaza too, so is the US, to try to get information about whereabouts for their captives soldiers. Palestinian people are still facing a dangerous situation and pressure and protests need to press on and continue.
Looking at the staggering humanitarian situation in Gaza, the 4-day truce is good. He is getting 50 people and his forces who were facing a bruising guerilla war will get a break for 4 days. In return, at 150 Palestinians will be freed.
On the Palestinian side, we're getting food, water, medicine, and fuel to our suffering people in Gaza. As agreed upon, Israeli forces can't invade new areas, can't initiate new attacks, and have to accept humanitarian supplies reaching the Palestinian population in the North and South of Gaza.
From the Palestinian side, it is the Egyptian and Qataris who are guarantors of this agreement, of course in conjunction with the Americans. So the responsibility is on them to guarantee the clauses of the agreement.
And if all of the clauses are carried out, it is the Palestinian mujahideen who are the winners. This is also start to the much larger ceasefire negotiation. This is the start. In a jihad, you fight and negotiate depending upon your situation. This is what the Palestinian mujahideen are doing.
I would thank the Qataris and Egyptians for making sure the Palestinian demands are fully included in the terms of the truce agreement.
