The deal offers a path to ending occupation and easing the humanitarian crisis via gradual withdrawal and multilateral oversight.
“External accountability and root causes such as settlement expansion and self-determination”
Hamas disarmament is a step toward neutralizing a terrorist group, but gradual withdrawal risks rearmament without ironclad enforcement.
“Verifiable demilitarization and Israeli security benchmarks over multilateral guarantees”
Mutual steps could reduce state and militant coercion, though new oversight bodies introduce risks of overriding direct negotiations.
