The journalist Carlos Novoaspecializing in topics from the Middle East, he told Commerce that The central themes of negotiation in Egypt will be the disarmament of Hamas and in the hands of who will fall by the Gaza government.
Specifically, the plan Trump He maintains that Gaza will be administered by a Temporary Transition Government of Palestinian Technocrats that will be responsible for providing everyday services to the population. The Committee will be supervised by a new International Agency established by the USA in consultation with Arab and European partners. This will establish a framework to finance Gaza’s redevelopment until the Palestinian authority completes its reform program.
Novoa said Hamas did not completely accept the Trump Peace Planbut it was seen Forced to partially yield due to military wear that suffers in front of Israel.
“Hamas was cornered to accept the plan. Experiences a wear with respect to the military operations of Israelwho were squeezing Hamas, leaving him at a minimum point. Hamas is very cracked … He had no alternative to accept to breathe a little and gain time. In that scenario, Negotiations in Egypt will be key”, Novoa said.
The analyst He does not believe that Hamas ends up 100% of Trump’s planbecause it would be to deliver everything and remain with nothing.
“Hamas would be willing to Deliver only ‘defensive’ weaponsleaving room to conserve military power, which Israel Consider unacceptable. There is a margin of maneuver to negotiate in Egypt“Novoa said.
He added that Israel He has conditioned his support for the plan to Gaza is completely demilitarized And Hamas free all hostages. He emphasized that without guarantees of the end of war and the withdrawal of troops, it would be unfeasible for Hamas to free all hostages, as it would be equivalent to a “Political and military suicide” Because he would remain without negotiation power.
“The key elements of the negotiations are the disarmament of Hamas and who will stay with the Gaza government”Novoa emphasized.
Although the plan mentions the possibility of a future Palestinian stateNovoa does not believe that at this time we can move towards that goal, due to both the resistance in Israel, and the Hamas Factor. He argued that this seems plus a diplomatic play to contain the crisis than a definitive solution.
