Israel Produces New Gaza Deal Amid Trump’s Urgent Push for Resolution

[Social Media]

 

Israel has presented an updated proposal to Hamas, aimed at securing the release of some of the 100 remaining hostages and initiating a ceasefire in Gaza, according to two Israeli officials. This development comes as diplomatic efforts intensify, with input from various players, including U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, who is pushing for an immediate resolution.  

 

Israeli officials expressed hope that recent shifts in the geopolitical landscape could provide the momentum needed to break the three-month-long deadlock in negotiations. Specifically, they highlighted the potential killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the stabilization of a ceasefire in Lebanon, and the influence of President-elect Trump as pivotal factors that might reopen dialogue.  

 

Although the new framework for the deal does not significantly differ from the proposal negotiated in August, which ultimately stalled, Israeli officials emphasized their focus on implementing the first phase of the agreement with some modifications. Encouragingly, Hamas has reportedly shown a greater willingness to exhibit flexibility and consider a partial implementation of the deal.  

 

A Trump adviser told Axios that the President-elect backs the deal if it aligns with Israel’s interests, emphasizing the urgency of the situation given the hostages’ precarious safety. "Trump wants such a deal to be implemented as soon as possible and without delay before January 20," the adviser stated.  

 

To bolster these efforts, Trump’s Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, visited both Qatar and Israel in late November, engaging in talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani. This aligns with Qatar’s renewed involvement as a key mediator after briefly stepping back from the role.  

 

Speaking to Sky News, the Qatari Prime Minister affirmed his contact with Trump’s advisers regarding the ongoing negotiations. "We heard from his team that they want this to be resolved now ... we hope his message will be delivered to both parties. We are trying our best," he said. These remarks underscore Qatar’s pivotal role in facilitating dialogue between Israel and Hamas during a critical juncture in the peace efforts.  

 

As the January 20 inauguration date approaches, the international community watches closely to see if this combination of diplomatic pressure and regional cooperation can achieve a breakthrough in resolving the hostages' plight and easing tensions in Gaza.
