Israel has some serious doubts about this idea for a peace council in Gaza. To me, it all comes down to whether people are willing to talk to each other. It's troubling that there's still so much suspicion on both sides. What really gets me is that they're not even open to help from other countries to try and sort this out. If you ask me, the first thing they need to do is sit down and start a real, honest conversation. At the end of the day, I'm afraid that setting up a long-lasting safe place in Gaza is going to be a tough task.
It seems like every time there's a chance for things to get better, something gets in the way. You'd think after so much conflict, everyone would be tired of fighting. But instead, they keep digging in their heels. Israel's concern is probably that this peace council won't really have any power. They might worry it's just for show, and won't prevent certain events from happening again.
The refusal to let international folks step in is also a bad sign. Sometimes, it takes someone from the outside to see things clearly and help people find common ground. It's like when you're having an argument with a friend, and another friend steps in to help solve the issue. Without that outside perspective, it's easy to get stuck in your own way of thinking.
To move forward, everyone needs to be willing to compromise. No one is going to get everything they want. The point of talking is to find solutions. But that can’t happen if people aren’t willing to listen to each other. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that things will change, but it's hard to be optimistic when there's so much resistance to even trying.
Whether or not this particular council will work is a question, but one thing's for sure: figuring out a way for everyone to live together peacefully has to be the top priority. Otherwise, it will be a never-ending loop of violence and mistrust. It's a long road ahead, that's for certain.
