As the title suggests, recently Hamas has agreed to negotiate with Israel and has accepted some of the “20 points” proposed by the US and Israel. Currently, it appears that Hamas does not agree to disarmament, but has agreed to release all hostages and to establish a committee composed of independent technical officials to manage post-war Gaza affairs. This is difficult to judge. Officials and standing armies are the core of a country’s machinery; Hamas demands to maintain its original military forces, and in the absence of Israeli troops stationed in Gaza, it can effectively control the region militarily. However, it has also made political compromises, not being entirely led by Hamas in Gaza’s activities. The army, as a violent apparatus, is best judged by which group controls it. But this control is relative; if Hamas ultimately does not hold the governance of Gaza, it will have little say in managing Gaza, merely retaining the military, and due to Israeli pressure and other factors, it may not fully control the army, thus gradually weakening and disintegrating. Hamas proposes to establish this committee, claiming it will be supervised by Arab countries and friendly nations. However, most Arab countries are semi-colonies, and the so-called friendly nations are imperialist, so this supervision could actually be a form of control. Overall, who ultimately controls this committee remains highly uncertain. In my view, Hamas’s current behavior does not seem to indicate a readiness to surrender. How much benefit Hamas can gain from the temporary ceasefire, and how it might favor subsequent resistance, will depend on the outcome of future negotiations. What are everyone’s opinions?
One thing I don’t understand is what releasing all Israeli prisoners means, and whether it counts as a major compromise and concession. What worries me is whether handing over the post-war management of Gaza to a so-called agency supervised by Arab countries is equivalent to a disguised cession of territory. Considering that most of these Arab countries are controlled by imperialism behind the scenes, we would be like fish in the hands of those wielding the knife.
What class interests does Hamas represent? I’ve never quite understood. Since the war began, it has become very clear that many new socialist and nationalist organizations have suddenly emerged in Palestine. But I don’t know how they are doing now.
Why does Qian Renling never reflect on the problems everyone points out about you, and why do you always run to other posts to say irrelevant things?
Hamas is a revolutionary organization of the national bourgeoisie.
Regarding the nature of Hamas, you can refer to this article
It seems that this approach of not giving up the military but compromising on the issue of regime reflects the internal factional struggle within Hamas. The emergence of such a contradictory situation may be because the surrender faction and the resistance faction have not yet determined a winner. Therefore, the attitude towards Israel appears to be somewhat regressive, yet it seems they have not surrendered. Since the specific details of the internal factional struggle within Hamas are unclear, it may be difficult to make a judgment now about how things will develop in the future.
The latest news shows that Hamas, under the “mediation” of the United States and other countries, has signed a “first phase ceasefire agreement” with Israel.
A brief look at the content includes four points: 1. End the Gaza conflict; 2. Ensure Israel’s full withdrawal; 3. Allow humanitarian aid to enter; 4. Implement a prisoner exchange.
These four points do not explicitly restrict Hamas, such as not limiting Hamas’s military capabilities or requiring Hamas to lay down arms, but I feel that the signing of this agreement may actually reflect that the pro-surrender faction within Hamas temporarily has more influence than the resistance faction. Because this agreement states to ensure Israel’s full withdrawal, but it does not specify how comprehensive this “full” withdrawal is—whether it is from Gaza City and nearby areas or from the entire Gaza Strip. After such a long invasion, a mere withdrawal seems too lenient towards these opposition factions.
Meanwhile, the prisoner exchange, in a sense, means Hamas has given up hostages and abandoned some advantageous bargaining conditions.
Additionally, the press release also states that “Hamas highly appreciates the efforts of Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey in mediating and thanks U.S. President Trump for his role in promoting a comprehensive ceasefire and the complete withdrawal of the Israeli military. The statement calls on all guarantor countries, as well as Arab, Islamic, and international communities, to ensure that Israel ‘implements the agreement fully, without delay or evasion.’”
The attitude towards the U.S. can be described as somewhat “gentle,” using words like “thanks” to address the U.S. imperialist leader Trump. Even figures like Netanyahu, a fascist, actively instruct the Israeli government to sign the terms, which is usually a sign that the reactionary side is eager to do things that benefit them.
However, this is only the content of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement. The currently available information is too limited, and further follow-up is needed.
However, for the United States, this may also be just a delaying tactic in the face of pressure from people around the world.
That’s indeed the case; it has not yet been announced whether Hamas has discussed any additional conditions with the US during the talks
.
In past peace talks, specific withdrawal plans were discussed, such as lifting the blockade on the borders with Palestine and Egypt. Now, when talking about a full withdrawal, it is unclear whether there are still any reservations.
The so-called withdrawal plan mentioned in the news shows no sincerity at all. Even if all three phases of the withdrawal are completed, the areas controlled by Israel will still be under siege around Gaza, and the area originally bordering Egypt will also be occupied.
Are there any pictures?
Currently, there is no ceasefire, and Israel is still bombing Gaza. “Since the ceasefire agreement in Gaza took effect, the Gaza Media Office stated on the 28th that Israel has violated the agreement approximately 125 times, resulting in at least 94 deaths and 344 injuries. Violations include: shooting at civilians, airstrikes, crossing the ‘yellow line’; entering residential areas, demolishing civilian buildings, and arresting civilians in different regions.” During one airstrike, Israel also bombed a hospital. Israel, like the Japanese invaders during the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, fabricated an excuse, claiming Hamas killed an Israeli soldier, and accused Hamas of violating the peace agreement. At this time, Trump came out to say that Israel’s current actions do not affect the ceasefire. I think if this ceasefire negotiation continues, it might turn into Gaza being unilaterally attacked, as the Israeli bandits simply refuse to stop fire.
