As Palestinians and Israelis anticipate the aftermath of the Gaza ceasefire, some are looking to Northern Ireland's 1990s peace process for insights. Key figures like Tony Blair and Jonathan Powell are involved in discussions about Gaza's future. The Trump-backed plan for Gaza is criticized for not addressing the broader Israeli-Palestinian conflict or offering a path to Palestinian statehood. Experts note both similarities and significant differences between the two conflicts, emphasizing the monumental challenges in the Middle East. The Northern Ireland peace process involved gradual disarmament and political negotiations, while the situation in Gaza remains fraught with unanswered questions and potential exclusion of Hamas from future discussions.
