Peace or truce in the Middle East ?

A peace agreement has been celebrated in
the Middle East, but there are still doubts about the real conditions of this agreement, as bad agreements only postpone hatreds and reorganize forces.
A ceasefire agreement only means a new military balance in the region, according to Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, in practice with the United States calling the shots in the region and a retreat by Iran, the fall of a long dictatorship in Syria has contributed to this, but there will be peace without the reconstruction of humanitarian conditions in the region and in Yemen.
Before the October 7 attack by Hamas on Israeli territory, Iran was calling the shots in the region, including well-trained terrorists in the Gaza Strip, where Palestinians live under constant hostility from Israel, and this escalated after October 7.
We need to restore humanitarian conditions in the region, and understand that poverty in Yemen is one of the worst in the world, so a truce is not enough, we need to get to the root of the war.
In more than 40 years, few agreements have been successful and the crisis continues in the region. Since the Six Day War in 1967, agreements signed between Israel and Egypt, between Israel and Jordan, the central issue between Palestinians and Israelis has not been resolved, a direct agreement is needed.
The agreement, officially announced in Qatar by Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, was reached between Hamas and Israeli negotiators, which is a good start because it is direct between the parties.
His words, “hopefully, this will be the last page,” are very significant, but one cannot underestimate the conditions in the medium and long term, in other words, re-establishing humanitarian conditions in the region and not thinking of Yemen as a separate chapter, it’s Houthis’ headquarters, they attacked a “vital” post in Israel yesterday, before the agreement.
Regarding the hostages who are due to be released soon, of the 251 captured by Hamas on October 7, 2023, 94 are believed to be still in Gaza, 60 are alive and 34 are dead.
It is now necessary to disarm the warring spirits, not only in the region, but throughout the planet.
Urgent: According to the Associated Press, Israel’s cabinet has not yet ratified the agreement, says Hamas has imposed “new” concessions: “The cabinet will not meet until the mediators notify Israel that Hamas has accepted all the items in the agreement,” said Netanyahu, fight, pray or think positive for PEACE.
