    Anitta Hipper “Let me recall the European Council's conclusion from 21 March, where the Council is also reiterating its unwavering support to Ukraine's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity. And the last point on these referendums, that were a total sham and [conducted] at gunpoint. When it comes to the discussion on peace talks, our position is very clear, and I would like to reiterate two main points. One, the EU's position for peace is that it is for Ukraine to decide the actual conditions, and the second point that nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine.” 11 hours ago

“Such a display of lethality, of horrendous carnage as we saw last night, can be perceived as strength. But that's all Israel can do. It can kill Palestinians but it can't do much more. It can't control events on the ground in any other meaningful way, and I believe negotiations will resume quickly. He is going to try to score points for being hard on Hamas on the one hand, and the man in the negotiating chair on the other. I don't think he's doing too well on either front.”

“The mere suggestion of relocating two million Gazans is likely to complicate the cease-fire negotiations by making Hamas more cautious, and to destabilize the entire Arab world. Mr. Trump's declaration, he said, is the perfect recipe for recruiting more people to Hamas. Mr. Trump's new colonialism had given Hamas easy marketing tools.”

“I think what he [Donald Trump] did was throw the old checkers board off the table and replaced it with Monopoly. He didn't just change the rules of the game but the game itself. Mr. Trump's vision for a Gaza without Gazans could work as a threat and put significant pressure on Hamas to release more hostages. Conversely it could cause Hamas to walk away from the deal altogether. Mr. Trump is a businessman. He takes risks.”

“US could already have begun to put its financial leverage over Egypt to use in the first days of the Gaza campaign. Egyptian reports suggest that the US offered financial incentives including debt relief to Egypt in exchange for accepting such a plan, which Sisi allegedly rejected. While the accuracy of these claims is uncertain, their circulation in the Egyptian press likely aims to reaffirm Egypt's long-standing stance on resettlement and rehabilitate Sisi's image as a defender of Palestinian rights. It is worth recalling that [former president and Muslim Brotherhood member] Mohamed Morsi was accused of colluding with Hamas in a land-sale and resettlement deal in the Sinai after being deposed by Sisi in 2013.”

“The idea of Americans going in on the ground in Gaza is a non starter for every senator. So I would suggest we go back to what we've been trying to do which is destroy Hamas and find a way for the Arab world to take over Gaza and the West Bank, in a fashion that would lead to a Palestinian state that Israel can live with.”

“Gaza is not a real estate development project for the United States government to own or take over. Gaza belongs to the Palestinian people. Distracting from the need to initiate political transformation to ensure that Hamas doesn't remain in control is unnecessary and harmful.”

“Israeli public is being exposed to a new narrative in the past 24 hours. That narrative is the ceasefire deal will not be completed … because Hamas won't live up to the ceasefire agreement … and that it is doubtful that there's going to be a phase two. You can put it in context and say [Israeli Prime Minister] Netanyahu is floating a trial balloon of sorts ahead of his meeting with President Donald Trump next week. But there is also the conventional wisdom even if the first 42 days are implemented smoothly, and do occur without major interruption, it's very doubtful that phase two or stage two will be implemented. Netanyahu's meeting with President Trump is so critical, not because of the details of what they're going to talk about, but how serious Donald Trump is in getting this [ceasefire] done and if he's going to succumb to Netanyahu's inevitable manipulations.”

“We heard from the Israeli prime minister's office earlier that Israel believed Hamas had violated the terms of the ceasefire agreement that was put in place several weeks ago by not releasing an Israeli civilian by the name of Arbel Yehud. Israel says that this was a violation because it was supposed to be civilians who were released first before any military personnel. It says as a result, they will not allow any Palestinians to return to the north, and they are not going to be leaving the Netzarim Corridor. Israel says this is their condition until she is released; that's when Palestinians will be able to go home, even though, within the framework of the ceasefire deal outlined by mediators, it said that Palestinians, in the second week after the second exchange, could return to the north. The entire time these negotiations for the ceasefire deal had been going on for more than a year, there was so much back and forth between Israel and Hamas, each one pointing the finger at the other for why everything was collapsing. So it's not a surprise that each one now is accusing the other of these violations, but this is an incredibly fragile situation.”

“Hamas's parades through Gaza on Sunday are more than a message to the international community that it is in control. They also reflect the reality on the ground. Hamas was there before the war and they're there now.”

“The message is that Hamas is 'the day after' for the war. They're conveying that Hamas must be a part of any future arrangements, or at least, be coordinated with.”

“Israel must occupy Gaza and create a temporary military government because there is no other way to defeat Hamas. I will overthrow the government if it does not return to fighting in a way that [leads to us] taking over the entire Gaza Strip and governing it.”

“The only solution for the future of Gaza is 'national unity'. The best solution is a very clear formula that we agreed about in the Beijing agreement, which says that a national consensus government should be formed immediately. There is pressure going in that direction. We are talking about it. We are demanding it. We're speaking about it in the media, and the agreement is there. It was signed by all the 14 Palestinian parties. We need a body that has international legitimacy, that has legitimacy in the region, and that is capable of organizing and supporting the process of reconstruction. Hamas told us very clearly, they don't want to be the government. They don't want to be in the government, but they want a government that they can accept. That's what we all agree about, a government that can cooperate with everybody.”

“What happened earlier in Gaza City's as-Saraya square is that the military wing of Hamas handed over three female Israeli captives in a scene that felt beyond imagination. The military wing of Hamas - which has been engaging in battles with the Israeli occupation forces across many areas in the strip - appeared today, organising the implementation of the deal and the exchange of the Israeli captives. We saw crowds of Palestinians gathering in the area around the fighters of the military wing of Hamas, chanting for liberation and freedom. So, apparently, despite the significant blows that the military wing of Hamas has endured, they appeared today as an organized force on the ground. This could indicate that in the foreseeable future, they will still exist as a military force despite the Israeli claims that they managed to degrade their military capabilities and eradicate their military governance of the territory.”

“This deal, which was unchanged from what was proposed in May 2024, proves the persistence of resistance groups, which took what they wanted while Israel was not able to take what it sought.”

“It's going to be very difficult [to maintain the agreement between Israel and Hamas]. My sense, unfortunately, is that it is very unlikely we move past Phase One and toward a permanent peace. There are endless openings for spoilers on both sides, and serious disagreements remain about the details of the agreement's next steps. In Israel, there are many people who would like to see this war prosecuted indefinitely. Maybe they want to keep northern Gaza as a permanent buffer zone. Maybe they want to depopulate it and resettle it completely. Maybe they want to try to completely destroy Hamas, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu originally promised. Or maybe they want perpetual war as cover for aggressive actions elsewhere, such as in the West Bank. On the Palestinian side, there are plenty of opportunities for spoiler violence by hard-liners, by militant factions who don't like the way things are going, and by people who just want revenge for all the horrible things that have been done to them. If such violence occurs, the Israelis won't respond in a positive fashion.”

“The agreement is a fragile truce, not a cessation of conflict. It will require continued monitoring and accountability and an almost immediate return to the negotiation table to keep the remaining phases alive. President-elect Donald Trump's warnings to both Hamas and Israel have clearly been effective in reviving the drawn-out negotiations where the Biden administration proved unwilling to exert adequate pressure over Israel's leadership.”

“Biden deserves praise for continuing to push the talks. But Trump's threats to Hamas and his efforts to cajole Netanyahu deserve credit as well. The ironic reality is that at a time of heightened partisanship even over foreign policy, the deal represents how much more powerful and influential U.S. foreign policy can be when it's bipartisan.”

“This is the long-overdue news that the Israeli and Palestinian people have desperately been waiting for. The hostages, who were brutally ripped from their homes on that day and held captive in unimaginable conditions ever since, can now finally return to their families. But we should also use this moment to pay tribute to those who won't make it home - including the British people who were murdered by Hamas. We will continue to mourn and remember them. This ceasefire must allow for a huge surge in humanitarian aid, which is so desperately needed to end the suffering in Gaza. And then our attention must turn to how we secure a permanently better future for the Israeli and Palestinian people - grounded in a two-state solution that will guarantee security and stability for Israel, alongside a sovereign and viable Palestine state.”
