The potential ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip is no longer out of the ground, but the problem remains in Benjamin Netanyahu’s refusal -the international criminal court is required -ending the war, a position that contradicts the position of his chief of staff Eyal Zamir, who warned of “loss of control.”
Although Netanyahu announced that he would send his negotiating delegation to the Qatari capital, Doha, today, Sunday, a statement issued by his office confirmed that he was not accepted by the amendments made by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) on the proposal to the ceasefire submitted by the United States.
The Israeli Security Council (cabinet) was late yesterday, Saturday, a meeting to discuss (Hamas )’s response to the proposal to stop a launch.
As for the meeting held by the council last Thursday morning, it was described as a loud and included an altercation between Netanyahu and Zameer, while accusing the ministers of finance and national security extremist of Salail Smutrich and Etamar bin Ghaffir, the army of not implementing the instructions of the political leadership, according to Channel 12.
Netanyahu asked – according to Israeli media – to prepare a plan to evacuate the inhabitants of Gaza towards the southern Gaza Strip, and said that he wanted to see it when he returns from his visit to Washington this week, which Zamir opposed warning of what he called “the loss of control in the Strip.”
According to the Israeli Broadcasting Authority, Netanyahu assured Smotich and Ben Ghafir that he would not leave Gaza except when they are demilitarized, while 24 News channel quoted the Prime Minister’s office that the proposals made by Hamas on the proposal were “unacceptable.”
Decreased tension
However, it can be said that this tension in the mini security council is studied, as the expert in the Israeli affairs, Ihab Jabareen, said, who indicated a transformation related to the acceptance of the Shin Bet, the army, and the security services of the partial exchange deal, which are the institutions that have always adopted the extremist Yemeni vision that rejected this type of deals.
But Jabareen said – during his participation in the Events Path Program – that Israel shows a visible flexibility to buy time from America, and reduces the escalating internal and global criticism, but in practice it “does not make actual concessions on the ground and never talks about the end of the war, but rather it is looking at how to get out of the deal and not engage in it.”
This is the reason for the dispute between Netanyahu, its chief of staff, as the latter confirmed that it is impossible to control two million people with the power of arms, while all Israeli media say that Netanyahu has provided any post -war solution other than occupying the Strip.
Netanyahu is trying – apparently – to get rid of the only pressure sheet of the prisoners, while the United Nations continues to talk about the increasing risks of starvation and prevent Israel to enter aid to the residents who kill dozens of them per day while trying to get a little food for their children.
The Washington Post also said today, Saturday, that a coalition includes more than 200 humanitarian and human rights organizations, who said – in a statement last Tuesday – that the Palestinians in Gaza are facing an impossible option represented in death hunger or death in order to obtain food.
The newspaper also pointed out that military officials confirmed to Netanyahu earlier that the goal of weakening Hamas militarily has been achieved and that the remaining prisoners – who represent an increasing concern in Israel – will not return without an exchange deal.
Israel does not seem able to achieve further military progress in the sector, given the escalating operations of the resistance, which the military expert, Brigadier Elias Hanna, said that it reflects an innovation in tactics that pushes Zamir to pressure for a political solution, because he has a force that he derives from being responsible for the failure of October 7, 2023.
Zamir is looking for a political solution
The reason for this is that Zamir is well aware of the difficulty of occupying the Strip in view of the strength, number and prices of life, so he is trying to surround Gaza by working in the north and seeking to end the operations of Khan Yunis in the south to isolate the Palestinians in the quarrels and in the middle of the Strip to begin the depletion of the resistance, in the opinion of the military expert.
However, the best solution to Hanna – in the opinion of Hanna – is to reach a political deal that ends the war and gives it the opportunity to restore the army, which is subjected to continuous losses that strengthen the talks of the former soldiers about the ghost war.
In addition, the series of operations carried out by the Palestinian resistance in Gaza recently broke the euphoria of Iran that Israel was living and returned to the reality in which it lives in Gaza, where the voices of human rights and humanitarian organizations came to the method that Israel adopts in the distribution of humanitarian aid, and many believe that the army imposes a practical military rule by controlling food, drink and people’s movement, but it does not announce it officially.
Therefore, the important thing at the present time is not the statements, but what is going on in the closed rooms, especially since Israel talks about a partial re -position or withdrawal, but it never talks about ending the war.
The armistice conditions are available
However, things seem close to reaching a temporary truce, not because Netanyahu’s conscience has woke up – as political researcher Saeed Ziyad says – but rather because he failed again to achieve his military goals, as well as regional changes that occurred after the war on Iran.
And US President Donald Trump said last week that he expected an agreement this week, but he did not submit a clear framework for what will happen if the two parties fail to reach an agreement during the proposed period of the truce, Ziad says.
Hamas expressed flexibility in some matters related to the withdrawal of the occupation forces, which are supposed to withdraw to a distance of 700 meters inside the border, and that it comes out of all the axes that it created in the sector with its survival at 5 main points, but it insists that the United Nations will take over the distribution of aid, which Washington rejects.
According to the newspaper “Maariv”, Trump “will press to conclude the deal during Netanyahu’s visit, which will start to Washington next Monday, even if Hamas remains in the sector.
Trump had described the position of Hamas, in which she said that her response was characterized by a good positive.
