Gaza between the agreement and Netanyahu-Kushner understandings
An opinion article on the Palestine Online website criticizes Netanyahu's handling of the Gaza agreement, arguing he is trying to turn it from a comprehensive deal into partial understandings that serve Israeli interests. It warns this means reproducing the occupation in a more complex way, through control over water, energy, and crossings. It calls on mediators and the United States to apply real political pressure, and links Netanyahu's stance to his electoral calculations.
The editorial on the Palestine Online website (affiliated with the Palestine newspaper) addresses the Gaza ceasefire agreement, claiming the problem is no longer limited to Israeli violations or delays in implementing clauses, but has become tied to the essence of the agreement itself. The writer argues that Netanyahu is trying to reshape the agreement according to the Israeli vision, turning it from a comprehensive deal into partial understandings from which Israel implements what it wants and postpones what does not suit it. The article criticizes the attempt to sideline the Palestinian Administrative Committee and the absence of a clear Palestinian security authority, while keeping water, energy, crossings, and services files under Israeli control, calling this 'reproducing the occupation in a more complex way.' The article calls on mediators (Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey) and the United States to turn diplomatic statements into real political pressure to ensure full implementation of the agreement, warning that allowing Netanyahu to reinterpret the understandings means the collapse of the idea of international guarantees. The article links Netanyahu's stance to his internal electoral calculations and raises a fundamental question about whether the agreement will lead to an actual end of Israeli control or become a new cover for entrenching it.
