Gaza after war dominates newspaper headlines

Newspapers published this morning highlighted the political stage following the end of the war in Gaza and the challenges facing the achievement of genuine peace and the rebuilding of a new life there.

From ending the war to the two-state solution

Asharq Al-Awsat reported that the Gaza agreement opens the door to a dual Turkish role in the next phase, involving participation in the international forces that will oversee the administration of the Strip, as well as hosting members of Hamas in Turkey as part of a settlement that removes the movement from the military scene in Gaza.

The newspaper added that attention is now turning to the possibility of resuming negotiations on the two-state solution, noting that the unresolved issues since the Oslo Accords remain. It stated, “The negotiation process requires two or three parties. The first or second party is Israel, and no one there now wants a state for the Palestinians after the ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’ destroyed all trust, dialogue, and coexistence possibilities. The Americans, the strongest party, have yet to make their stance clear. However, Trump’s praise for the Arabs and Muslims remains, and all of them call for the two-state solution. So, will the fighters’ only achievement after two years be merely ending the war or just silencing the guns?

Is Gaza on the verge of life?

In the same context, Al-Khaleej newspaper discussed the future of civilian life in the Strip, asserting that “the reconstruction of Gaza is not limited to physical rebuilding but requires rebuilding the Palestinian human being based on new values.”

It stressed that achieving peace faces fundamental obstacles related to Israel’s expansionist policies and its rejection of coexistence, pointing out that Gaza’s reconstruction will not be possible unless weapons are removed and the roots of the conflict are eradicated.

The newspaper concluded that Gaza today stands before two critical choices: either to continue the cycle of war and destruction or to begin a stage of reconstruction and human development, a true test of the international community’s ability to establish lasting peace in the Middle East.
