Trump makes bold Gaza peace promise, but facts on ground tell different story

In a recent statement Donald Trump promised to end Gaza war which started about a year ago and caused over 40000 Palestinian deaths spreading across middle-east region (including Lebanon and Yemen)

The peace chance looks slim as Benjamin Netanyahuʼs government holds strong position: theyʼve hit Hamas hard destroyed much of its military power and dont want any cease-fire deals that might let enemy recover. Israel seems ok with long-term low-intensity conflict — keeping Hamas weak without full control of Gaza strip

Hamas leadership faces big problems after losing its key figures: Ismail HaniyehYahya Sinwar‚ and Mohammed Deif. This created power gap in Gaza making it hard to negotiate or enforce any deals. Anyone trying to take control risks becoming target for Israeli strikes

Palestinian Authority (PA) with its leader Mahmoud Abbas cant step in easily: Israel shows no trust in them even though PA helps with security in West Bank. The attempts to create tech-focused government in Gaza face many road-blocks; Israel wont accept even small Hamas presence there

Peace talks got harder after Qatar stopped helping and kicked out Hamas people from Doha — they worried about Trump teams criticism. Egypt still tries to help but other countries fear getting involved

Military facts show Israelʼs long-term war plans:

  • Building strong points along Netzarim Corridor
  • Using small troop numbers to avoid direct rule
  • Playing catch-up with Hamas fighters in north Gaza
  • Keeping flexible attack options across the strip

Netanyahuʼs political moves (like firing pro-cease-fire Defense Minister Yoav Gallant) show he wants war to continue — it helps him stay in power and avoid blame for last years Hamas attack
