- Gaza reoccupation will be ‘recipe’ for ‘regionwide radicalism’While talks indicate a ceasefire may be close in Gaza, whether both parties are seeing eye to eye on a potential deal is still uncertain, according to Galip Dalay, a nonresident senior fellow at the Middle East Council on Global Affairs.“For many on the Israeli side, [a ceasefire] has been reduced to hostage release … whereas for the Hamas side, for the Palestinian side, it’s not only about the hostage release … it’s about ending the war, it’s about withdrawal from Gaza,” Dalay told Al Jazeera, speaking from Istanbul, Turkiye.“And unless there’s a real pressure from the United States, unfortunately we cannot be sure what is going to happen here … whether Trump will make a difference, that we don’t know yet,” he added.As the war rages on, there is also less chance that more captives will come out alive, Dalay said. “The quicker the deal is done, the better for the hostages, but also for the Gazan people,” the analyst said.However, a ceasefire should not evolve into ideas about a reoccupation of Gaza, including the construction of Israeli settlements there, as some ministers have been touting, Dalay warned.“That will be a recipe for catastrophe, for [the] next catastrophe, and that will be a recipe for regionwide radicalism.”
