The Spin


Israel has serious concerns about the Hamas disarmament deal, which it has shared with the White House. If IsraeliIsrael withdraws from Gaza before Hamas truly disarms, it would quickly expand its presence in Gaza, rebuild its terror infrastructure and threaten Israeli communities.

Israel's attacks in Gaza, which wiped out whole families, are a deliberate effort to undermine the agreements reached between intermediaries. International representatives and guarantors of the deal are called upon to pressure Israel into sticking to its commitments and to hold themit accountable for their war crimes and crimes against humanity.


Metaculus Prediction

There's a 3% chance that the Gaza war will end and significant progress be made towards a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict before Jan. 1, 2030, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
