As the international media and mediators (US, Egypt and Qatar) have announced, Israel and Hamas have agreed to accept the ceasefire agreement \u2013 an agreement that is permanent and not temporary, and if its provisions are implemented, the other parties will not be able to start the war again.<\/p>\n
Mohammad bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Qatar, while confirming the finalization of the ceasefire agreement, announced the implementation of its provisions from next Sunday (January 19). Joe Biden, the outgoing President of the United States, has also announced the finalization of the agreement.<\/p>\n
Hamas, which is one side of the story, while giving in to the request of the mediators, has also welcomed the establishment of a ceasefire. In the meantime, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, has agreed to accept the agreement, but he has not made his position clear so far, which could indicate his displeasure with the situation.<\/p>\n
There are a lot of points and unsaid things about the agreement and it requires to be examined not in one writing but in writings \u2013 but what is urgently important is the vacating of the White House by Biden for Donald Trump that will happen on January 20. In this regard, the discussion is that establishing a ceasefire is the result of the work of which of these two (Biden or Trump)? Of course, Trump has registered this achievement in his name by publishing a statement on his social page as saying \u201cwe have achieved many successes without even being in the White House. Just imagine the amazing things that will happen when I get back to the White House and my administration is fully confirmed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Contrary to Trump’s claim, there are also some media organs that defend the ceasefire in Gaza is not the result of his efforts, but due to Biden\u2019s efforts. Here are their arguments:<\/em><\/p>\n First<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n It is true that Biden has stubbornly supported Israel since October 7 and without this support, Tel Aviv would not be able to continue the war against Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, Iran, etc.<\/p>\n For this reason, the critics of the Gaza war call what Israel has done in this area as a result of Biden\u2019s support, but it should not be forgotten that at the same time, he stopped trying to establish a cease-fire to the extent that, if necessary, he did not avoid putting pressure on Netanyahu. Although he did not make an early impression.<\/p>\n It was Biden who, at the height of the Gaza war (November 24, 2023), forced the parties to agree to a ceasefire for four days \u2013 the ceasefire led to the exchange of a number of Israeli hostages with a group of Palestinian prisoners. This current agreement is the result of the plan that Biden presented in May of last year \u2013 a plan that was accepted by Netanyahu with disgust now and not at that time.<\/p>\n We have already discussed this once in the previous article, however based on the above plan, the parties stepped on the border of signing the agreement many times, but they went back a little. So, it can be said that Biden had already plowed the ground, but it yielded later (last evening). To say that nothing was done at all, we have spoken exactly to Trump’s taste.<\/p>\n Second<\/strong><\/p>\n Not only the ceasefire in Gaza, but the end of the war between Hezbollah and Israel (November 27, 2024) was also the result of Biden\u2019s efforts. The war in Lebanon was so intense that ending it was more difficult than establishing a ceasefire in Gaza.<\/p>\n It was after the assassination of Hassan Nasrallah, the former leader of Hezbollah, that the Islamic Republic targeted Israel for the second time (October 1, 2024) with nearly two hundred ballistic missiles \u2013 the attack was called \u201cOperation Honest Promise 2\u201d. While for Gaza, compared to Lebanon, he did not do anything serious.<\/p>\n Falling short against Hezbollah was expensive for Netanyahu, but apparently, he had no choice but to accept Biden\u2019s request. Meanwhile, Biden was not as concerned about what happened in Lebanon as he is about the Palestinians.<\/p>\n The 46th<\/sup> president of the United States not only ended the war in Lebanon, but also put an end to the power vacuum in this country \u2013 the election of Joseph Aoun as the president.<\/p>\n Lebanon has been without a president since October 30, 2022, which can be said to be practically in a power vacuum. But Biden, in cooperation with France and Saudi Arabia, did something to greatly reduce the severity of the political crisis in Beirut \u2013 if it does not sink completely.<\/p>\n If we pay close attention, the difficulty of appointing the president in Lebanon was not less than the difficulty of ending the war, considering the tribal structure of this country. The war and power vacuum in Lebanon was ended without anyone saying anything about Trump\u2019s role in it.<\/p>\n Third<\/strong><\/p>\n It is true that Trump has always emphasized the need for an immediate end to wars. But he is talking more about Ukraine than Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, etc. Due to his own reasons, he does not like Ukraine and the ruler of this country, and for this reason, he has exposed Biden to serious criticism for the money he gives to Kiev.<\/p>\n He had already claimed that in case of victory, he would end the war in Ukraine for one day \u2013 even at the cost of displeasure of Kiev and America’s European allies. Every time he has spoken about the war in Gaza and Lebanon, he has severely criticized Biden on the pretext that he did not support Israel well. He even accused Kamala Harris – the Democratic candidate – of being anti-Israel many times in the heat of the election.<\/p>\n So, if the reader focuses on Trump\u2019s view of the crises in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, he\/she will inevitably reach the understanding that he is against the continuation of the war in Ukraine and not in Gaza and Lebanon. The reason is also clear: Israel is important to him. For this reason, many analysts believe that when Trump talks about the end of wars in the world, he considers the Middle East to be an exception to the rule, because Israel is present in it.<\/p>\n Fourth<\/strong><\/p>\n The end of the Gaza war is the biggest achievement considering the high ceiling of human casualties and financial damage in this strip \u2013 an achievement that Biden made in the last days of his presence in the White House.<\/p>\n No matter what Trump claims, this coin was struck in the name of Biden \u2013 because he is still the ruler of America. Trump wanted to record this achievement, but luck did not help him. According to reliable reports, Trump told Netanyahu that he should finish his work by January 20. In the sense that he has freedom of action until after Biden leaves the White House and then prepares to sign the ceasefire agreement \u2013 an agreement that should have been decorated with the color of his representative’s pen, which was not.<\/p>\n Trump\u2019s attempt to delay the establishment of a ceasefire does not necessarily mean the confirmation of the continued destruction in Gaza, but rather he wanted to put an end to the crisis in this strip and Lebanon after the moment he entered the White House, so that the most benefit from it is Israel and the most loss is for its competitors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As the international media and mediators (US, Egypt and Qatar) have announced, Israel and Hamas have agreed to accept the ceasefire agreement \u2013 an agreement that is permanent and not temporary, and if its provisions are implemented, the other parties will not be able to start the war again.
