Ceasefire Does Not Mean Peace
A recent ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, brokered by the US/Middle East Project, has been met with celebrations, but its significance and implications remain unclear.
"It is also being claimed that we have a historic peace deal. That is absolutely fictitious.”
According to Daniel Levy, president of the US/Middle East Project, the situation is complex, and the path forward is uncertain. Levy, a former Israeli peace negotiator, notes that the current approach is flawed, stating
"One war crime is not met by another,”which he believes will lead to further conflict.
- The ceasefire was brokered after over two years of war between Hamas and Israel.
- President Donald Trump celebrated the agreement in the Middle East.
- Daniel Levy has experience in peace negotiations, including the Oslo B talks and the Taba peace talks.
