      From what I’ve heard the political pressure placed on Israel to agree to a ceasefire came from the Trump team - he wanted a ceasefire to be in place before he became president. That’s why it’s agreed for Sunday before his inauguration on Monday.

        From what I heard, the political pressure came from Hamas, which was winning the war.

        Therefore, Trump had nothing to do with it.

          I don’t know about that. I doubt this would’ve happened at this time if Kamala Harris won. Palestinians have been hurt so much by the Zionist entity and Trump made a big thing about himself supposedly promoting peace in his campaign, so this might be to placate some of his supporters in the US.

          Hamas was never going to be 100% defeated and Netanyahu has wanted to drag the war out for a while.

          I don’t know if ‘Israel’ is going to fully honour the deal or not. Reading through it, it seems as though they have room to maintain some form of increased occupation of the Gaza Strip. I really hope that Hamas haven’t agreed to a permanent veiled/obfuscated Israeli occupation of the Netzarim and Philadelphi corridors but unfortunately that is what I suspect might be the case. But I am glad that Palestinians will be able to leave Zionist concentration camps.
