Beyond a ceasefire deal: What are the roadblocks to a two-state solution? | DW News

The ceasefire in Gaza would release dozens of hostages held there and pause the 15-month long Israel-Hamas war, bringing the sides a step closer to ending their deadliest and most destructive fighting ever. The ceasefire deal itself is comprised of three stages, with the final stage requiring the reconstruction of Gaza. Yet the deal is not a blueprint for establishing a two-state solution. DW speaks to Nomi Bar-Yaacov, international lawyer and arbitrator, who discusses what’s necessary for a lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians. Bar-Yaacov underscores the importance of both sides recognizing the other as human and argues that both the Israeli government and Hamas ought to be held accountable for the atrocities they have committed. #ceasefire #israelpalestine #israelhamaswar For more news go to: http://www.dw.com/en/ For more news, analysis and background information on the German election 2025 go to our dedicated page: https://www.dw.com/en/german-election-2025/t-70794502 Follow DW on social media: ►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dwnews ►TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dwnews ►Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deutschewellenews/ ►Twitter: https://twitter.com/dwnews Für Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https://www.youtube.com/dwdeutsch Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/deutschewelleenglish?sub_confirmation=1
