EXPLAINER: Future of Israeli-Palestinian Peace and Analysis of Post-Gaza Ceasefire Prospects
The HinduPublished : Jan 22, 2025 21:06 IST - 14 MINS READ In early January, as the conflict in Gaza completed its 15th month, it had acquired the characteristics of a pogrom–sustained violence by Israeli armed forces on defenceless Palestinian civilians that has killed nearly 47,000 persons, most of them women and children. The French scholar Alain Dieckhoff notes that the leaders of the Zionist movement’s religious strand believed that “the hand of divine providence enabled the oppressed Jews to return to the Promised Land”. As of now, Iran is engaged in dialogue with the EU-3 and the International Atomic Energy Agency, while its reformist President, Masoud Pezeshkian, in his address at the UN General Assembly in 2024, offered an olive branch to the West when he said: “We have the opportunity… to enter a new era … e are ready to engage with JCPOA participants if JCPOA commitments are implemented fully and in good faith, dialogue on other issues can follow.” It would be foolhardy on Netanyahu’s part to assume that Trump could be his partner in a major military assault on Iran. The Israeli commentator Shalom Lipner has noted that “Israel faces genuine peril” from regional instability and that “Israeli assumptions about Trump’s unwavering patronage appear naïve”. Wintour also pointed out that the death and destruction that Israel has wreaked upon Gaza has done “damage to Israel’s reputation may last decades”.
