Egypt helped broker the cease-fire and more negotiations are expected for a long-term truce. In Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is coming under fire over the costly conflict. CCTV America’s Adel El Mahrouky reports.

It’s the longest truce agreed to since the conflict began in July. Cairo will host another round of talks between Palestinian and Israeli delegates in September.

The cease-fire comes after 50 days’ of fighting. More than 2,200 people were killed. Most of the victims were Palestinian civilians and nearly half a million people were displaced.

Although analysts doubt the cease-fire will hold until next month, they said that there have been some winners, like Fatah, the group that leads the Palestinian Authority. The truce should give it a control over the Gaza crossings to Israel. This revives its influence in the Hamas-controlled strip. Hamas may have emerged stronger too.

Egypt is also considered a winner, particularly because of its president Abdel Fattah El Sisi. His election faced international criticism, but he has gained recognition for Cairo’s peace efforts.

On the other hand, Israel is viewed in the Arab world as a loser in the fight. They destroyed some but not all of Hamas’s tunnels and spent millions while the power of the resistance remains more or less intact.
