Today, the USA is optimistic there will an agreement, but, Hamas is belligerent and insists Israel completely withdraw from Gaza. Let’s say in a perfect world that happens and there are absolutely no more hostilities between the two parties and Hamas breaks alliances with others. Will that result in a MidEast Peace?
No.
With the hopes of a ceasefire and hostage return hopeful, other terrorist groups are picking up the slack. The Houthis, an Iranian supplied terrorist group are attacking Israel. They have more than rockets to send over Israel’s border.
Then there is Hezbollah, which is an interesting group, they have a drug industry in Venezuela with the permission of that government at the highest levels. So, Hezbollah is more self-sufficient in some ways. They still are Allie’s to Iran. How bizarre is that? A sovereign power, homeland to an entire religion, has terrorists for allies.
The tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, which has headquarters in Lebanon, have been in a conflict for what seems as long as Israel existed, but, it was organized in 1992. The conflict never ends because Hezbollah, like all the other terrorists affiliated with Iran, while stating to be political parties within a country, insist on being armed outside the sovereign power they claim as elected officials. Where does that occur anywhere else in the world? An armed political party that are elected to serve in the sovereign government. Their ally is Iran. Iran is not allied by the sovereign countries these groups exist.
So, while Israel is recognized by Lebanon and considers itself at peace with Israel, the political party called Hezbollah calls Iran an ally and actively attacks Israel killing civilians. That is bizarre and untenable. In order for a Mideast Peace process to exist and be successful all those terrorist groups and Iran have to be signatories.
Why is Netanyahu always on the aggressive stance? Why wouldn’t he be?
Then there is this good news, two-thirds of Palestinians not only approve of the October 7th attacks, they would repeat them.

The USA has to be Israel’s ally. There is no choice. There is another sovereign power standing with Israel while Iran is chronically instigating problems.
Unfortunately, no matter how close an agreement is between Hamas and Israel; for the region; it is just one fire tamped down.
