Israel Agrees to US Vision for Ending Gaza War

Israel has agreed to the vision presented by the United States for ending the war in Gaza. A senior official has confirmed that the Israeli government accepts a proposal for a permanent ceasefire, which is conditional upon the release of all hostages and the complete dismantling of Hamas’s military capabilities.
The U.S. vision, articulated by President Biden, is for a “durable end to the war” that ensures Israel’s security and opens a path for the reconstruction of Gaza. Israel’s acceptance of this vision is a critical step in aligning the key players behind a single, unified plan.
This vision requires a fundamental transformation of Gaza’s political and security landscape. The disarmament of Hamas is the central pillar of this transformation, as it is seen as the only way to prevent a repeat of the attacks that triggered the war.
Now that Israel has formally signed on to this vision, the diplomatic focus is on convincing Hamas that this is the only path forward. The choice presented to them is between embracing this vision for a peaceful future or facing continued conflict and isolation.
