The political scientist pointed to the temporary effect of Trump's plan for the Gaza Strip

US President Donald Trump's plan for a peaceful settlement of the conflict in the Gaza Strip may have only a temporary effect. This opinion was shared with Izvestia on September 30 by orientalist, international political scientist Elena Ostanina.

The orientalist stressed that it is quite difficult to resolve the Palestinian problem. Therefore, in Washington, in her opinion, they do not expect more, assuming a brief, vivid "show effect."

"The Americans could have put pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Reluctantly, he pretends that he is ready to fulfill the terms of the plan. Therefore, the plan looks very fragile and difficult to execute on both sides. Both the Israelis and the Palestinians have distrust of this project and an unwillingness to implement it," Ostanina said.

According to the political scientist, even if the Trump plan is adopted, the agreement can be disrupted by both Israel and Palestine. In this case, the fighting will resume, which may lead to a destabilization of the situation in the West Bank of the Jordan River.
