David Makovsky and Hussein Ibish discuss the cease-fire deal that could end the 15-month war in Gaza .

They say the election of Donald Trump and pressure from the Israeli public and the Israeli military to make such a deal.

Ibish : The election of Trump and the pressure he put on Prime Minister Netanyahu , which builds on pressure from Israeli public.

Makovsky: The main regional card that Hamas can play now is not the military links they have with Iran , but the political and diplomatic links they've with Turkey and Qatar .

Both sides will have to decide if they want the agreement to survive the 42 days and then to go into a second phase.

Makovsky: If leaders are committed to following through into second phase, they're going to have to be willing to put up with some provocations that maybe simply have been baked into the process.

The challenge is, what do you deal with Iran now that it has been weakened?.
