Former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter analyzes the recent ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, suggesting that the truce, brokered by the United States, Qatar, and Egypt, may serve strategic interests beyond immediate humanitarian concerns. Ritter posits that the timing and terms of the ceasefire could be influenced by U.S. and Israeli objectives in the region. Concurrently, Russian President Vladimir Putin has expressed support for any settlement that ensures security in Gaza, while Iran has indicated that only a ceasefire would delay its direct retaliation against Israel. These developments highlight the complex interplay of international actors in the Middle East, with potential implications for regional stability.
