Trump’s Gaza Deal Faces Early Strains from Netanyahu
Even though Prime Minister Netanyahu publicly endorsed Trump’s new 20-point Gaza peace plan, key actions suggest he may already be undermining it from within. While he agrees in principle to end hostilities and accept some of the plan’s framework, he simultaneously adds caveats: Israel will only partially withdraw from Gaza, and only if Hamas meets strict conditions like full disarmament and rapid hostage releases.
At the same time, backers of his far-right coalition openly criticize any plan that hints at a future Palestinian state, and some demand continuing control over security zones and military presence in Gaza.
These contradictions raise questions about whether Netanyahu intends to fulfill the spirit of the accord — or merely preserve Israel’s maximal leverage. In short, his bargaining strategy suggests that the peace plan might already be at risk of being hollowed out from the start.
The pushback from Netanyahu’s own coalition reveals a deeper pattern: every time negotiations approach the possibility of real Palestinian autonomy, new conditions emerge that keep power firmly in Israel’s hands. Demands for permanent security zones and a continued military presence in Gaza signal that even under the banner of peace, the goal may be to maintain control rather than share it. Critics argue that this strategy turns the peace deal into a hollow framework — a document that looks like compromise on paper but functions as consolidation in practice. For them, Netanyahu’s posture suggests less an effort to end the conflict than to reshape it into a version where Israel retains dominance while appearing cooperative to the outside world. The result is a peace plan that risks collapsing before it even begins, not through outright rejection, but through deliberate erosion from within.
