Israel’s Gaza City offensive may be weeks away
Even if Prime Minister Benjamin says that Netanyahu will “start a very fast” and end the war with the defeat of Hamas, it may take weeks for Israel’s new attack in Gaza City may take weeks and leave the door open for the ceasefire.
Two officials at a security cabinet meeting on Thursday to approve the plan, said Reuters to evacuate civilians from the affected areas only until the beginning of October and give time to maintain an agreement.
The plan gave an international alarm because of the damage it could bring to ENCLAVE, which is shattered by the hunger crisis.
On Sunday, Netanyahu called foreign journalists to explain the plan, including the fluctuation of humanitarian aid.
Netanyahu said Israel would first allow civilians to leave the war zones before moving to Gaza city.
However, Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said that the plan was designed to return Hamas to the negotiation table instead of defeating Hamas and called Netanyahu to scrape it.
In Gaza, which ends in a dead end last month between Israel and Hamas, the US is still large gaps between the two sides, it still negotiates on an offer for a 60 -day ceasefire, which still includes the release of half of hostages.
According to an Arab diplomat saying that Israel’s decision to publish the new Gaza City attack plan may not be a bluff, mediators, Egypt and Qatar did not stop reviving the negotiations, but serving Hamas to bring back to the negotiating table.
Diplomat, Hamas’dan Netanyahu’nun seriousness of taking the whole Gaza after seeing the seriousness of the cease -fire to make constructive interviews, he said.
Senior Hamas official Basem Naim, the group is still interested in reaching the cease -fire agreement, he said.
Netanyahu finally did not prefer to make an agreement.
A source close to the Prime Minister said it would be brought before the security cabinet of Israel if a relevant offer had emerged.
On Sunday, he asked if he could stop the new attack in favor of the ceasefire, and Netanyahu took a public attitude.
“We will destroy Hamas, we do not stop, we are moving,” he said.
He also said that he had instructed the Israeli army to accelerate new attack plans.
“I want to end the war as quickly as possible, and that’s why I instructed to shorten the control of the City of Gaza (Israeli Defense Forces).” He said.
He said the timeline was “quite fast”.
However, according to two officials at the meeting, the plans put forward in the security cabinet on Thursday may take approximately five months.
However, although Hamas’s senior leaders have been reduced to a guerrilla power scattered among Gaza remains for a long time, Netanyahu is suspected of suspicion on the new plan, including the military chief called the death trap.
“This movement is a danger and meaningless for Israel and its safety.” He said.
“The hostages will die, the soldiers will die, the economy will disintegrate, and the international stance of Israel will break down.”
