Gideon Levy, a Haaretz columnist, doubts a deal similar to the Israel-Hezbollah agreement can be reached for Gaza soon. He believes the current Israeli government won't approve an agreement involving troop withdrawal from Gaza. While a pause might be possible, Israel has no intention to fully evacuate Gaza, especially the northern part. Levy predicts ongoing resistance and retaliation as long as Israeli forces remain. He sees the situation in Gaza as more problematic than in Lebanon, noting limited Egyptian influence over Netanyahu's government. Levy emphasises the crucial role of American leverage, which was clear in the Lebanon deal but uncertain for Gaza. He cautions against high expectations, suggesting any potential deal for Gaza would be very limited in scope.
