There is a possibility that the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip will soon be halted, and there is a similar possibility that the occupation government will continue its aggressive behavior, to force the Palestinians to emigrate.

We know that the potential agreement will be based on the proposal of US envoy Steve Witkoff, a proposal that Hamas has previously rejected more than once, simply because it does not include the two most important Palestinian demands: a permanent ceasefire and an Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.

It has become known that the proposed truce stipulates a 60-day ceasefire during which 10 living Israeli prisoners and 18 bodies will be exchanged, a number of Palestinian prisoners will be released, aid will be allowed in, and the occupation forces will redeploy in the Strip. Negotiations for a permanent ceasefire will begin on the first day of the truce.

What matters to us as Arabs in this truce is that the Israeli killing machine will stop for two months, after the genocide became an act being practiced every moment, under everyone's nose and ears. The number of martyrs since the start of the aggression on October 7, 2023 has reached 57,338, with 135,957 wounded, and tens of thousands missing under the rubble, in addition to the destruction of more than two-thirds of the buildings and facilities.

In order not to be surprised, we must not trust the promises of Israel or the Trump administration. All of the above is a lesson for us, especially what happened with Iran.

The Palestinians, along with Egypt and Qatar, have tried hard to obtain clear American guarantees that the ceasefire would lead to an end to the aggression and a withdrawal of the occupation, but the Israeli Prime Minister insisted on his position and asked the Americans not to provide any guarantees other than a pledge to continue the ceasefire for 60 days.

We remember that the Trump administration, just before entering the White House, brokered a ceasefire, which actually happened on January 19. However, after the temporary truce ended, Israel returned on March 2 to launch a more ferocious aggression, reoccupying most of the areas from which it had withdrawn and establishing axes to dismember the Gaza Strip. It imposed a brutal siege on it and prevented the entry of water, food, fuel, and all types of aid. Then, along with the United States, it invented a strange system to bring in aid through an American agency, which has been proven to cause the death of those waiting for this aid. Since the implementation of this system on May 27, the death toll has reached 743 martyrs and 4,891 wounded.

And lest we be surprised, unless a miracle occurs, what awaits the Palestinians in the coming days is not rosy. Their choices are not between best and worst, but between worst and worse!

Israel, along with America, insists first on displacing the largest number of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip in preparation for liquidating the issue. What it is doing now is targeting For those awaiting aid, this is just one step in this context. If it fails to implement this scenario due to the steadfastness of the Palestinians, it insists on the necessity of eliminating Hamas's authority in the Gaza Strip and expelling its senior leaders and cadres outside the Strip. The alternative should not be the Palestinian Authority, but rather tribal entities protected by Arab forces, which protect Israel and it. If this happens, it is an extremely dangerous scenario, and we must calmly consider the occupation authorities' establishment of agent militias like Yasser Abu Shabab to ignite a civil war in the Gaza Strip. On the other hand, we know that Egypt, along with most countries of the world, is seeking to implement the Arab plan to rebuild the Gaza Strip without displacing its people. In my estimation, any outcome that leads to the Palestinians remaining on their land is a failure of the basic Israeli project that seeks to displace the Palestinians in order to liquidate the Palestinian cause.

This does not mean that Israel has not achieved successes in its aggression. The realistic view is that it has undermined a large part of the Palestinians' hopes for establishing an independent state soon. Their greatest hope now is to return to the borders of October 7, 2023, rather than June 4, 1967. It has set the Gaza Strip back years and restored the concept of deterrence, which suffered a severe blow after the Al-Aqsa Intifada.

Once again, if the Palestinians are able to remain on their land without displacement, this means that they are capable of healing their wounds and rebuilding themselves in anticipation of another round of conflict in which they will achieve better results.
