Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer will lead Israel’s delegation in the second phase of negotiations for a Gaza ceasefire and hostage deal, marking a important shift in the diplomatic strategy.
Experienced Negotiator at the Helm
dermer,known for his close ties with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former US President Donald Trump’s administration,brings extensive experience to the table. He served as Israel’s ambassador to Washington during Trump’s first term and played a pivotal role in finalizing the Abraham Accords in 2020.
“Dermer’s appointment is clearly no minor bureaucratic reshuffle. Instead, it would inject a stronger political and diplomatic dimension into the talks – at least from the Israeli side – and reinforce the prime minister’s direct control over the process,”
wrote The Jerusalem Post‘s Herb Keinon on February 4.
Transition to Phase Two
This change in leadership coincides with the transition from the initial phase of negotiations, which focused on the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas, to the second phase, which will concentrate on planning for a post-war Gaza.
The second phase also anticipates more direct discussions between Israeli and US officials, as opposed to the earlier rounds primarily involving Israel and Qatari intermediaries.
Alignment with Netanyahu’s Objectives
This strategic appointment may be driven by Netanyahu’s desire to have Dermer,someone more closely aligned with his objectives,lead the negotiations compared to Mossad Director David Barnea or Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar.
The evolving dynamics of the ceasefire negotiations underline the complex challenges and multifaceted nature of achieving a lasting solution in the region.
As the talks progress, the international community will be closely watching for breakthroughs that could pave the way for peace and stability in Gaza.
Minister Dermer, you mentioned the need for treating the “roots” of the conflict rather than just the symptoms. In your view,what are the most significant underlying issues contributing to the ongoing tensions in the Gaza Strip?
