US Proposed Gaza Peace Agreement Faces Obstacles

The U.S. announced a historic peace agreement aimed at disarming Hamas and withdrawing Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip. However, the plan faces immediate hurdles as both Israel and Hamas present contradictory preconditions and lack mutual trust, leading experts to question the viability of the U.S.-led diplomatic effort.

In response to a proposed Gaza ceasefire framework, Hamas agreed to include the handover of heavy weapons on the condition that Israel ends its aggression and withdraws its troops. Hamas previously stated that ending Israeli aggression is a fundamental precondition for any deal.
