Agreement unlikely before Donald Trump’s inauguration, Arab mediators in trouble

Negotiations between Hamas and Israel to reach a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and secure the release of hostages have stalled. According to reports in the Wall Street Journal, an agreement is increasingly unlikely before President Joe Biden leaves office to his successor Donald Trump. Hamas insists that Israel accept a permanent truce in the Strip, but Tel Aviv continues to reject this condition, further complicating the dialogue.

The impact on the Palestinians and Biden’s team

The failure to reach an agreement is a blow to the Biden administration, which has invested many political resources in trying to end the conflict. The Palestinian population of Gaza, tried by more than a year of fighting, has also expressed disappointment, demanding via social media that Hamas accept a deal to end the war.

Hostage families’ pressure on Netanyahu

In Israel, the families of the hostages are pushing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to conclude an agreement to free their loved ones. Every day spent in captivity increases the risk to the hostages’ lives and health, say the family members, who demand a quick and safe solution.

The role of Hezbollah and the collapse of the talks

Hopes for an agreement had grown after Hezbollah agreed to conditions for a ceasefire in Lebanon. However, as negotiations between Hamas and Israel went into detail, both sides hardened their positions, slowing progress. Israel demands that only live hostages be released, while Hamas insists on an agreement to end the conflict. The Israeli government has refused to comment officially, but Netanyahu has publicly accused Hamas of reneging on its commitments. Hamas, for its part, accused Israel of changing its demands, while confirming that the negotiations have not completely failed.
