US should use leverage on Israel to secure peace in Gaza: Analysis

Adnan Hayajneh, professor of international relations at Qatar University, says the big question surrounding the ceasefire relates to whether Israel will live up to its commitments.
“There is a huge problem over the trust of Netanyahu. He does not follow through with agreements. He does not believe in peace and does not believe in a Palestinian state,” Hayajneh told Al Jazeera.
Hayajneh says it is necessary to ensure the US shows a commitment to using its leverage over Netanyahu; otherwise, Hamas will likely not accept the deal.
“They know from past experience that they will agree to something, they will return the hostages, there will be an exchange or swap of the captives, but after that, Netanyahu will find any excuse,” Hayajneh said.
