Gaza ceasefire deal offers glimmer of hope, uncertainty clouds prospects for lasting peace - People's Daily Online

Gaza Ceasefire Deal

A recent ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas offers a glimmer of hope for the war-battered Gaza enclave.

Mediators, including Egypt, Qatar, Türkiye, and the United States, signed a joint document in Egypt on the ceasefire deal, despite neither party's attendance.

Since the ceasefire took effect, a major aid convoy entered Gaza, and a large-scale hostage-prisoner exchange took place, providing a tentative reprieve for the enclave.

Experts remain deeply skeptical that the ceasefire can evolve into a durable peace.

Challenges to lasting peace include Israel's internal political fractures, the task of reconstructing Gaza, and uncertainty over who will govern the territory.
