Biden’s patience has finally run out.
In recent months, the White House has repeatedly talked about the progress of ceasefire negotiations in Gaza. In a situation where criticisms from experts on one side and public pressure on the other have worn out his foreign policy team, these interview processes and public statements have continued.
The proposed agreement announced by the US, Qatar, and Egypt, which included setting a date to start negotiations, concluded with the beginning of dialogue sessions. This became highly crucial in the sensitive and crisis-ridden situation resulting from tensions between Israel, Hezbollah, and the Iranian regime.
These tensions have somewhat decreased, but on the other hand, negotiations have not reached anywhere due to Hamas’ stubbornness and Netanyahu’s stance.
Biden and White House officials have mentioned progress in the negotiations.
However, there is no actual progress. There are obstacles and barriers for both sides, and the issue of Gaza border crossings seems appropriate.
Netanyahu has made negotiations meaningless by insisting on the deployment of Israeli forces at these crossings. The disagreement on this issue within Israel is also serious, as the Defense Minister, heads of Mossad, and Shin Bet have openly opposed Netanyahu’s insistence on the importance of the crossings.
The Israeli Security Cabinet session turned into a heated argument and confrontation over Netanyahu’s request. Galant and Netanyahu clashed over the issue, but ultimately, as expected, the Security Cabinet approved Netanyahu’s request. Following these tensions, the Israeli army returned the bodies of six hostages to their families, leading to a crisis situation in Israel with nationwide strikes, protests, and serious political disagreements within the Cabinet. This transformation may soon prove its significance. Reports suggest a new approach by Biden’s administration, as Brett McGurk and Jake Sullivan quickly held a virtual meeting with the families of the Hamas-held hostages, expressing hope for reaching an agreement and informing them of Biden’s new plan.
According to their accounts, the US President is expected to announce his final plan to the two conflicting parties and consider the demands of both sides in this plan, especially taking into account the views of Egypt and Hamas regarding the Gaza border. Journalists have described this plan as the latest and the last day of the plan.
What emerges from the phenomenon is that in case of disagreement, Biden will have to wait for one of the two parties involved, who is the cause of the disagreement over the plan, to show and take a different action. In these circumstances, another key point is that tension between Israel and Iran must be restrained so that a new knot is not added to these countless knots.
