The recent ceasefire agreement between Palestinians and Israel marks a significant milestone in the quest for peace in the Middle East. This breakthrough is largely attributed to the tireless efforts of international mediators, particularly the United States and Qatar. This is as a result of the power and importance of political negotiation and mediation in the field of political science. Diplomatic efforts, negotiations and mediations are supposed to be the keys to any conflicts. This writing is on the same page with Professor Daniel Danner that negotiations and mediations are the keys to any conflicts.
A New Era of Diplomacy:
The joint statement issued by the United States, Egypt, and Qatar on June 1, 2024, called on both Hamas and Israel to finalize the agreement, embodying the principles outlined by President Biden. This move demonstrates the commitment of the international community to finding a peaceful resolution to the conflict via diploma means.
Qatar’s Key Role:
Qatar has played a pivotal role in brokering the ceasefire agreement. The country’s diplomatic efforts have been instrumental in bringing both parties to the negotiating table. Qatar’s intervention has not only helped to reduce tensions but also paved the way for future negotiations and mediation.
USA’s Continued Support:
The United States has been a steadfast supporter of the peace process. President Biden’s administration has worked closely with regional partners to facilitate dialogue and negotiations. The USA’s commitment to finding a peaceful resolution to the conflict is evident in its continued diplomatic efforts on this conflict that has continued since 1948.
A Path Forward:
While the ceasefire agreement is a significant step forward, it is only the beginning. Both parties must now work towards a lasting peace, addressing the underlying issues that have fueled the conflict for decades. The international community, led by the United States and Qatar, must continue to support and facilitate this process. Research indicates that there’s different conflicts in 92 countries of the world and Israel and Palestinians have been the hottest and most worried since after the SWW in 1948. In recent research the world has lost Trillions of Dollars as a result of conflicts in different parts of the world.
In conclusion, the Palestinians and Israel ceasefire agreement is a beacon of hope in a region long plagued by conflict. The Middle East is an important region in the world with 48% of global oil and gas. The interventions of the United States, Egypt and Qatar have been instrumental in achieving this breakthrough and again the word of the incoming President of US Donald Trump “Middle East will be hailed”.
As we move forward, it is essential that all parties continue to work towards a lasting peace, ensuring a brighter future for generations to come. In 15 months 46,500 Palestinians were killed by Israel and 70% of them were women and children. The world is watching what will be the next action of the World Court of Justice?
