Ceasefire up in flames: Netanyahu's Gaza strategy and its uncertain endgame

India Today  

"If those hostages aren't back by the time I get into office, all hell will break out in the Middle East," roared Donald Trump during a press interaction on January 7, weeks before he assumed office as the 47th president of the US. Hell was briefly averted with a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas on January 16, bringing a temporary halt to the endless bombardment and killings in the Gaza Strip. The Trump administration announced on March 5 that it has been holding direct talks with Hamas to end the war and release American hostages held in Gaza - a first. In another bridging proposal on March 13 to extend Phase One of the ceasefire till April 20, the US stipulated that Hamas should release five living and nine dead hostages on the first day. Thus, as far as the US and Trump are concerned, having fulfilled the initial promise to get the ceasefire in Gaza and the attempt to extend the ceasefire through a bridging proposal, the Gaza problem was easily left for Netanyahu “to sort out”.
