Sorry, Mr Trump, but that's not what I call a peace deal

The Independent

October 15, 2025

It is an agreement to end the Gaza war, return the hostages (living and dead), release Palestinian prisoners, and for Israel's phased withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.

- EHUD OLMERT

Sorry, Mr Trump, but that's not what I call a peace deal

It includes the establishment of a joint security force of Palestinian, Egyptian and Jordanian soldiers, perhaps also Emiratis and Saudis, who will impose military control over the Gaza Strip and prevent any attempt by Hamas to restore its military capabilities.

It also establishes a committee of technocrats to manage the government in Gaza instead of Hamas, under international supervision involving Turkey, Qatar, Egypt, former British prime minister Tony Blair, and the president of the United States himself.

This is an impressive arrangement that seemed unexpected until a few weeks ago.

The Israeli government agreed to give up on the resolute positions represented by prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Hamas was not completely eliminated, but it suffered a very severe blow. The Gaza Strip has been almost completely shattered; most of the buildings in this small piece of land no longer exist, and it is possible that many Gazans are still buried under the rubble of the buildings.

Above them, it is known there are more than 67,000 dead, a significant portion of whom were not involved in terrorism at all but were an almost inevitable casualty of the Israeli military campaign that began following Hamas's brutal attack on Israel on October 7 2023.

Israel has buried over 2,000 dead, civilians and soldiers. More than half of them on October 7 alone; many others during the military campaign that lasted about two years. The living Israeli hostages have all been returned. The dead will surely be returned in the coming days.
