Is a ceasefire in Gaza really just around the corner, or is this just another empty promise? Former U.S. President Donald Trump boldly claims that a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas could be achieved within a week. “I think the deal is close,” Trump said, but he didn’t reveal who exactly he spoke with. Meanwhile, the reality on the ground tells a very different story.
Hamas has expressed readiness to release remaining hostages as part of a ceasefire agreement, but Israel is standing firm — demanding that Hamas be completely disarmed and dismantled. Hamas, unsurprisingly, rejects these conditions. So, who really wants peace here? The Israeli embassy in Washington has remained silent, and Israeli envoy Ron Dermer is preparing to visit Washington soon to discuss the situation, highlighting just how complicated things are.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu even stated that the conflict with Iran opens up possibilities for expanding peace initiatives. Is that genuine or just diplomatic fluff? Meanwhile, ordinary people in Gaza continue to suffer the consequences of the conflict. If you think this is the end, think again — the war isn’t over until all conditions are met, and they’re far from agreement.
So, what do you think? Is a ceasefire really on the horizon, or is this just another political fairy tale? Drop a comment, share your thoughts, and let’s see who’s really for peace and who’s just playing power games!
