So we have a 20 point Peace Plan which Israel and most of the Middle East nations have agreed to and Hamas are studying but we have been here so many times before and it all sadly ends up the same way.
On the one side you have a terrorist group who massacred over 1500 people in 2023 and on the other a Government wanted for war crimes and committing a genocide so there are no good guys here and i would trust both as far as i could throw a piano which is why i am pessimistic unless the 20 point plan comes with some hard rules because we don't want to be back here again in a year.
The plan supposedly ends with a total withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza and a Palestinian state but Benjamin Netanyahu has already stated he will oppose both of these and Israeli troops will stay occupying Gaza and no Palestinians State so that's not a great start.
The usual Israeli tactics when a peace plan is reached is to suddenly move the goalposts, make demands that it knows cannot be kept and then return to the slaughter and occupation, it is a well trod road and exactly what they did only a few months ago when just before the second phase of the agreement when the hostages would be released in small groups, Israel demanding that Hamas release all the remaining hostages first which allowed Netanyahu to say that Hamas were in violation and started dropping the bombs again.
I fully expect Israel to do it again and it has already started with Netanyahu's statements which is why the Palestinians need tougher back up so they can't.
I am no fan of Tony Blair but his Palestinians Panel may make sure that both sides keep to the deal they agreed to and make it tougher for Israel to renege on as well as pursue a legitimate Government for the Palestinians but what may be needed is a UN Peace Keeping force to stand between the two.
This would stop Hamas from rearming and firing rockets and also stop Israel from making military incursions into Palestine because that is where it always go wrong.
Israel has militarily occupied Palestine for over 75 years, murdering the civilians and stealing their land to build settlements upon and that is why we cannot return to that because that is the awful status quo but we have to go past that and make sure their is a viable Palestinian nation at the end of it.
The full details of the 20 points have not yet been released and there may be some sticking points but i think that the way Netanyahu agreed to it almost immediately means one of two things, either he hopes Hamas reject it so to give him cover to continue the genocide or, and Israel have a long history of form in this, he has absolutely no plan to stick to it and will be busy thinking of ways to sabotage it and blame the Palestinians for it.
