The Israeli government has paved the way for a potential peace agreement by formally accepting a full ceasefire deal for Gaza. A senior official announced the country’s readiness to implement the U.S.-led proposal, which would end the war in exchange for the freedom of all hostages and the demilitarization of Hamas.
This action is a critical first step in building a viable path out of the conflict. By giving its assent, Israel has laid the foundation upon which a final peace agreement can be constructed. It has cleared its side of the path, making the way forward visible.
The path outlined by the deal leads to a permanent cessation of hostilities and a new start for Gaza, but it must be walked by both parties. The key milestone on this path is the disarmament of Hamas, a condition Israel deems essential for the journey to be completed.
With the way paved by Israel’s acceptance, the international community is now focused on guiding Hamas onto the same path. The hope is that this foundational step will be followed by a reciprocal move, allowing both sides to walk towards a lasting peace.
