The president of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahuand his American counterparty, Donald Trumpgathered this Monday at White house To face the situation in Gaza, where the military campaign on the Enclave intensified while negotiations with Hamás They are still stagnant. From the oval office, both leaders insisted on the idea that the Gazais left the Palestinian enclave in other countries in the area “while Gaza is rebuilt”; A proposal that has already been reported by human rights organizations and that Monday countries like France and Egypt have denied that they will accept.
Trump assured that Israel would never “give” Gaza and insisted on the “long -term vision” of Eliminates the Palestinians from the strip to the “countries of the area” and reconstruct it. A decision that Netanyahu shared, which said that, as in other conflicts such as Ukraine or Syria, the Gazati must have the “freedom to decide” if they want to leave. Netanyahu assured Gaza’s Palestinians are now “maintained” in that territoryAlthough it is the Israeli army that currently controls all the boundaries of the enclave.
Trump defined the strip as “a fantastic place in which nobody wants to live” because he became “A dangerous mortal trap”. “Gaza is one of the most dangerous places in the world,” said the President of the United States in front of the media, before suggesting that “would be beautiful” to “Peace forces” The Americans were in Gaza to “control” the situation.

In addition, the duration of the upper fire would increase from 60 to 70 days. In this period, the second phase of the agreement would be negotiated, the flow of aid and fuel to Gaza would be allowed and the crosses to the strip will open. It remains to be seen if this new initiative has more successful than the previous ones, since Hamas refused to accept an extension of the first phase and asked to move towards the second, as should have happened according to the initial plans signed by the Islamist group and by Israel. At the moment, neither Trump nor Netanyahu have confirmed that this “new truce in which the Egyptian proposal is working.
