Trump convinces Netanyahu to accept peace deal — but can he keep him on board?
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has convinced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to agree to a ceasefire and hostage-release deal with Hamas. However, experts believe keeping the deal alive will be much harder than signing it.
Trump used his strong past support for Israel — including his decisions to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and the Golan Heights as Israeli territory — to push Netanyahu toward the agreement. The deal is part of a wider Middle East peace plan, but many key details are still unclear.
Netanyahu now faces challenges at home. His right-wing coalition may reject parts of the deal, especially if Hamas delays or refuses to meet its commitments. Discussions about a possible Palestinian state could also create more political pressure within Israel.
Important issues, such as whether Hamas will disarm or have a future role in Gaza’s administration, remain unsettled. Because the agreement lacks specific details, analysts warn it could face difficulties in the coming weeks.
Despite these challenges, both the U.S. and Israel see this as a step toward reducing violence in the region.
Impact :
The peace deal could ease tensions in Gaza if both sides follow through. But political pressure in Israel might make it difficult for Netanyahu to fully stick to the agreement.
