Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Israeli hostages held in Gaza are set to be released early next week as part of a new agreement between Israel and Hamas. The deal, signed in Sharm el-Sheikh, includes a ceasefire, partial Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and the release of all remaining hostages in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.

The agreement follows two years of conflict that began with a Hamas attack on southern Israel, resulting in significant casualties on both sides.

El acuerdo, si se aplica en su totalidad, acercará a las dos partes más que cualquier otro esfuerzo anterior. para poner fin a una guerra que ha estallado en un conflicto regional, atrayendo a Irán, Yemen y Líbano, y ha agravado el aislamiento internacional de Israel. Pero ese aislamiento puede haber jugado un papel en por qué el primer ministro Benjamin Netanyahu en última instancia aceptó los términos de Trump. El presidente Trump sí presionó al primer ministro Netanyahu porque alineó a todo el mundo a favor de su acuerdo. Netanyahu no tenía otro sitio donde ir. Jonathan Reinhold dirige el departamento de Ciencias Políticas de la Universidad Bar Ilan de Israel. Así que si no estaba de acuerdo con el plan del presidente, habría aislado completamente a Israel en un momento en que los países se niegan a venderle armas y considerando boicotearlo en eventos deportivos. Pero aún pueden salir muchas cosas mal. Incluso después de la firma del acuerdo, una fuente palestina dijo que la lista de palestinos a ser liberados por Israel aún no había sido finalizada. Aún no se han discutido otros pasos del plan de 20 puntos de Trump, incluido el modo en que los destrozados la Franja de Gaza una vez finalizados los combates y el destino final de Hamás, que se ha retirado de la zona. rechazado hasta ahora las exigencias de Israel de que se desarme.
