A phased deal for Gaza could work, but no Israeli leadership commitment, says expert

Mediators in Doha, Qatar, are discussing a three-phase ceasefire plan proposed by US President Joe Biden, which includes a six-week ceasefire, a permanent end of hostilities, and the reconstruction of Gaza. However, the current truce deal's structure lacks a clear commitment from Israel's leadership, according to Daniel Levy, a former Israeli peace negotiator and head of the Middle East and North Africa programme at the European Council on Foreign Relations. Levy explained that the plan could work with a commitment from mediators to ensure the ceasefire continues, despite its fragility. He stressed the importance of creating on-ground realities, such as humanitarian aid and partial withdrawal of Israeli soldiers, to prevent a return to the current situation. Levy criticized Netanyahu's unwillingness to make such commitments.
