Even before the cease-fire deal was reached, it was widely expected that Israel would go back on its word and sabotage the process. The plan was clear—secure the release of Israeli captives in the first phase and then tear up the agreement. But the Resistance Front, through calculated strategy, has backed Israel into a corner. Now, with the release of its remaining captives still on the line, Tel Aviv has no choice but to follow through with phase two. Israel’s track record shows that, whenever it gets what it wants, it looks for a way out of its commitments. That is why every clause of the current deal must be implemented step by step, with solid guarantees in place.
Despite Israel’s stalling tactics, the second phase of the cease-fire will likely move forward. Washington and President Donald Trump, in particular, have emboldened Israel to drag its feet, giving Tel Aviv the confidence to stall for time. Trump has even threatened Hamas with an all-out massacre if it refuses to release the remaining captives—ignoring Israel’s repeated violations of the agreement.
This brand of strong-arm diplomacy is precisely the approach the US has taken with many nations in recent years. But this bullying behavior no longer holds water in today’s world. Countries are gradually coming to grips with the reality that Washington’s threats are losing their weight, and the global stance on US hegemony is shifting for good.
Iran and several other nations caught on to America’s coercive tactics long ago—especially when Trump ripped up international agreements like the JCPOA and walked away from multiple global treaties. His reckless approach to diplomacy has left no doubt about his country’s self-serving agenda.
Trump has been playing with fire, making outrageous demands of other nations. If they comply, his hunger for domination is fed—if they refuse, they face threats of sanctions, economic strangulation, or even military action. But all this behavior has done is blow the lid off his erratic and authoritarian nature, exposing him to the world as nothing more than a power-hungry opportunist.
