The future of Gaza is being shaped by conflicting ideologies and international interventions, as highlighted by recent actions from both the Biden and Trump administrations. While the United States has historically sought to limit Israel's military objectives, current strategies involve complex ceasefire arrangements and international involvement, with unclear chains of command and uncertain outcomes. The article argues that peace efforts are undermined by the uncompromising stance of Hamas, whose charter rejects any peace initiatives and claims all of Palestine as Islamic land. The author contends that without addressing these deep-seated beliefs and the realities on the ground, any peace plan is unlikely to succeed, and Israel may be compelled to rely on its own strength to secure its future.
