Why the Gaza Ceasefire Probably Won't Last
Briefly

The ceasefire agreement in Gaza represents a precarious balance achieved through complex negotiations involving multiple parties, resulting in the release of hostages by Hamas and Palestinian prisoners by Israel. However, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu faces significant political pressure, particularly from hardline factions within his coalition, putting the ceasefire's longevity in jeopardy. The deal’s next phase, which demands further concessions from both sides, threatens the stability of Netanyahu's government and risks further escalation if the terms are violated. The role of the United States, particularly under the incoming Trump administration, adds another layer of uncertainty to this evolving situation.
The ceasefire in Gaza, although initially established with Hamas releasing hostages, is unstable due to political pressures within Israel's government and potential violations.
Netanyahu's government faces internal dissent, risking collapse if the ceasefire's next phase is pursued, leaving Hamas in charge of Gaza.
Political motivations and pressures could derail the fragile ceasefire in Gaza, demonstrating the complexities of Israeli coalition politics and international diplomacy.
Biden's administration struggled to take a firm stance against Netanyahu, complicating the US's role in the fragile negotiations surrounding the Gaza ceasefire.
