After two years of conflict, Israel and Hamas have pressed pause on the fighting! 🎉 The first phase of their ceasefire deal kicked in, bringing some relief to Gaza’s residents.
“This is a big step,” says Wang Jin, director of the Center of Strategic Studies at Northwest University in China. He points out that in the short term, the truce could hold — but the road ahead isn’t smooth. 😬
Here’s why experts are watching closely:
- New Gaza leadership: A fresh local government needs to form. Think of it like rebooting your fav app — it takes time to get everything running.
- Economic rebuild: Gaza’s economy has been hit hard. Rebuilding schools, hospitals, and jobs is a massive task.
- Hamas' future role: What part will Hamas play once guns go silent? Their place in local politics is still up in the air.
Inside Israel’s cabinet, some worry votes might delay final approval, and there’s concern fighting could flare up after phase one ends. 🤞
That’s where the international crew steps in. From UN monitors to NGOs, outside eyes and aid might tip the scales toward lasting peace. 🌍
For young folks scrolling on your phone, this ceasefire is a real test of global cooperation and hope. Will it hold? Stay tuned! 🔍
