Video Description

Support our work: https://democracynow.org/donate/sm-desc-yt President Donald Trump says Israel and Hamas have agreed to the "first phase" of a U.S.-backed ceasefire deal for Gaza. The 20-point roadmap includes a swap of captives and a phased Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, though details on many of the planks remain sketchy. _Democracy Now!_ spoke with Palestinian and Israeli analysts on how to interpret the peace plan. "We're now at a fork in the road," says Mouin Rabbani, a Palestinian Middle East analyst. "While it's very welcome, of course, that the genocide may be coming to an end … this is a renewed Oslo process with an even lower political ceiling." He says there are calls around the globe for a "different paradigm … in which Israeli accountability for its actions replaces these meaningless, endless negotiations about nothing." Muhammad Shehada, a writer and analyst from Gaza, is critical of the deal, saying that "as soon as a ceasefire deal is signed, nobody bothers with the details. Gaza disappears, and it's back to this slow, latent, invisible violence of starvation and engaging people in a permanent state of nonlife." Ori Goldberg, an Israeli political analyst and scholar, says that the deal was politically advantageous for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. "Netanyahu can now be the complete package," says Goldberg. "Netanyahu was the fearless leader who fought the difficult, inevitable war, but he is now the fearless leader who brings the difficult, inevitable deal."
