Agreement entered into force after 11 bloody days
between the Palestinian armed factions and Israel in which hundreds of
civilians were killed and many buildings were destroyed on both sides to end
the conflict by concluding the agreement and for the two parties to announce
their victory in the battle.
The Palestinians and the Israelis have always been in
quarrels, and disputes flare up between them, sometimes reaching an exchange of
fire and missiles, an exchange of accusations between the two parties, and
external support for both parties, while reaching a ceasefire agreement is
mediated by Egypt several times.
Events of Sheikh Jarrah
The dispute began this time after decisions by some
Israeli courts demanding that Palestinian citizens leave their homes attached
to documents stating that citizens of Israel are the ones who own these homes
and have bought them for decades, and now they are demanding them.
The Palestinians refused to leave their homes for the
benefit of the Israelis, and at the end of the month of Ramadan, some
Palestinians went and stood protesting against these decisions to start a fight
between Palestinian civilians and Israelis.
Ended with the intervention of the Israeli police and
the use of rubber bullets and smoke bombs that they fired at the Palestinian
protesters, and then the police entered the mosque Al-Aqsa and attacking
worshipers.
After that, the armed Hamas factions bombed sites in
Israel after warning Israel to remove its police from the Al-Aqsa Mosque, so
that the Israeli army responded with an airstrike on areas in Gaza in
retaliation for what the Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades did, to turn into a battle
between the two sides.
Mutual Bombing Between Hamas and Israel
The armed factions affiliated with Hamas began bombing
some of the positions inside Israel, in order for the Israeli army to respond
with airstrikes on civilians in the Gaza areas. The mutual bombing between the
two sides will continue for nearly two weeks and external calls for calm
Warning sirens pervade the airspace of Israeli cities
to warn citizens of the missiles coming from Gaza, and calls from mosques in
Gaza to warn civilians of the Israeli bombardment.
And in light of the failure of the Israeli Iron Dome
to repel the missiles coming from Gaza, as confirmed by military analysts, it
led to the injury of several sites and the killing of dozens of civilians. And
injuries among them.
While the areas of Gaza exposed to the Israeli army
led to the targeting of many residential buildings and commercial buildings in
addition to buildings that were central to Palestinian and international
journalists and media professionals, targeting these buildings and Gaza
neighborhoods led to hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries.
Everyone knows the power difference between the armed
Hamas factions, which are based in the Gaza-based areas, which suffer from a
siege by the Israeli army, which has advanced weapons and receives military
support from various countries of the world, which made it more powerful than Hamas's
militants.
External Mediation
The Egyptian mediation entrusted by specialists in the
Palestinian-Israeli issue, and we always saw the Egyptian efforts in seeking a
ceasefire agreement in any conflict between the two parties, as happened even
during the rule of the late President Hosni Mubarak.
This time also, Egyptian efforts led to reaching the
agreement currently concluded between the two parties, whereby, according to
the official statement from the Egyptian government, Egypt sent two delegations
to Gaza and Tel Aviv in order to reach a solution that satisfies the two
parties and puts an end to the conflict.
For his part, President El-Sisi contacted US President
Biden and United Nations Secretary-General Guterres to put pressure on the two
conflicting parties, in addition to calming the situation now, to try to find a
solution that guarantees stability for both sides and rebuild Gaza, which was
badly affected by the bombing from Tel Aviv.
At a time when Egypt is making tangible moves on the
ground to cease fire, Egypt is seeking through its relations to reach a more
stable solution, as well as finding a stable two-state solution.
In light of the presence of the Biden administration,
which, according to analysts, is convinced of the two-state solution and also
carried the Palestinian-Israeli issue to the international community to create
A convincing solution for both sides and an end to the permanent state of war
between Gaza and Tel Aviv.
The claims of victory were launched by Hamas and Tel
Aviv, and each of them described himself as the winner in the last battle, but
the civilians remain the ones who paid the price for this battle by displacing
them, killing them, and serious injuries on both sides, and each side brings accusations
to the other, and there remains hope for reaching a final solution, such as
sticking to a straw in the sea.
