What's Happening?
Following the UN Security Council's endorsement of President Trump's 20-point Gaza peace plan, the next challenge is disarming Hamas. The plan includes forming a 'Board of Peace' to administer Gaza and deploying an International Stabilization Force to maintain
security. Despite the diplomatic victory for the Trump administration, Hamas has rejected the plan, criticizing the international trusteeship over Gaza and the disarmament requirement. The group's compliance is crucial for the plan's success, as countries are unlikely to send troops if it involves battling armed militants.
Why It's Important?
Disarming Hamas is a pivotal step in the peace plan, as it directly affects the security and stability of Gaza. The group's rejection of the plan highlights the complexities of achieving peace in the region. Successful disarmament could lead to a reduction in violence and pave the way for Palestinian self-determination. However, failure to disarm Hamas could result in continued conflict and hinder international efforts to stabilize Gaza. The situation poses challenges for U.S. diplomacy and its role in Middle Eastern peace processes.
