There’s no doubt that this is not the future that Netanyahu and Hamas desire. Trump’s outline seeks to provide a long-term solution and has been endorsed by more than 150 countries. And for that very reason — exactly because both of the sides are displeased by the agreement — it might stand a chance.

This agreement is being signed by two sides who for 30 years have been trying to sabotage the Oslo Accords. It is not by coincidence that Netanyahu and Hamas were almost allied in recent history.

This is why the public cannot allow itself to just wait around for the conclusion of the „first stage“ like it did in the first months of the war. Back then, statements like ‘’this isn’t the time for politics’’ were running rampant. The belief was that, because Hamas committed acts of atrocity, it should be completely desecrated — and so festered and bubbled national desires of revenge. And through this exact desire the ‘’enlightened’’ public cleared the road for Netanyahu and his messianic gang.

Back then ‘’Brothers in Arms’’ and other democracy-inclined (for jews only) organizations ceased their struggle against the fascist government; under slogans like ‘’Yachad Nenatzeach’’ (together we will win). Meanwhile, their opponents in the right made sure to strengthen their hold in the government and, namely, the military, the police, the shin-bet, the judicial system, and the major public service departments. We cannot make this mistake again.
