The Gaza crisis may see a breakthrough as early as next week, with a ceasefire and reconstruction plan proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump and endorsed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The plan has reportedly won approval from a majority of Israelis, key Arab states, and several Palestinian clans now speaking on behalf of an increasing number of Gazans eager for stability.
Attempts to derail the initiative—particularly through efforts at the United Nations and by French President Emmanuel Macron—appear to have lost traction.
In France, where pro-Palestinian demonstrations have surged since October 7, 2023, critics note that the campaign to vilify Netanyahu, coupled with the posture of the French left and the role of sympathetic media outlets, has left deep scars within the Jewish community. According to recent surveys, 82 percent of French Jews are now considering emigration, underscoring the sense of alienation and insecurity.
Observers argue that a new era is opening in the Middle East, one in which the influence of Islamist hardliners is steadily declining. With Israeli resilience at its core, and strengthened by the so-called Abraham Accords, this vision promises a future of long-awaited peace and prosperity for a region that has endured decades of conflict.
