Phased agreement incoming for Gaza

Hamas has accepted an agreement with Israel that provides for a 48-to-72-hour ceasefire and the release of hostages. Talks are expected to take place later today in Doha. This development marks a significant step toward easing tensions in the Middle East, which could have positive implications for global markets, under pressure over the last 15 months. A reduction in the risk of escalation would be welcomed by investors and contribute to greater market stability.

A positive entrance for Trump’s administration

This agreement also represents a notable achievement for the incoming Trump administration, which has signaled the intention to prioritize peace and stability in the region. The White House has played a pivotal role in brokering the deal, which aims for a phased ceasefire, followed by negotiations for a permanent truce.

A bipartisan cooperation

Both President-elect Donald Trump and outgoing President Joe Biden have expressed optimism that the war, which has devastated Gaza for the past 15 months, is nearing its end. The United States hopes that an end to the war will not only stabilize the region but also pave the way for Israel to normalize relations with Arab states. Such normalization could have far-reaching geopolitical and economic benefits, strengthening alliances and fostering cooperation across the Middle East.
