Zionists Manipulation for an Unlikely Ceasefire
In a recent development, the Israeli enemy has submitted new proposal for the prisoner exchange deal with the Palestinian resistance groups. According to Israeli media reports, the proposal has been discussed during a meeting between the head of Mossad and the Qatari Prime Minister in Paris last week.
The new proposal focuses on two key points:
- Flexibility on the Number of Living Prisoners: The Israeli enemy is willing to be flexible regarding the number of living prisoners to be released in the initial “humanitarian” phase of the exchange. In the previous proposal, the number was set at 33, but Hamas expressed concerns about ensuring their safe return.
- So Called “Sustainable Peace” in Gaza: the Israeli Enemy is constantly in contradiction to having a“sustainable peace” in Gaza Strip. While the enemy has consistently rejected committing to ending the conflict entirely, the new proposal suggests that discussions on the matter will be linked to the exchange stages. This implies a potential temporary ceasefire, which may be long but not a permanent cessation of hostilities.
Inside the Israeli security cabinet, there is disagreement over whether to negotiate the demand for a complete cessation of hostilities. Some ministers believe that discussions on this point are possible, while Prime Minister Netanyahu and his close advisors argue that such negotiations would amount to surrendering to Hamas.
On the Palestinian side, Hamas has not yet officially received this so called proposal. However, the political leadership in Doha is expected to review it. The resistance remains steadfast in its core demand: a comprehensive end to the war in Gaza, including the complete withdrawal of enemy forces from the entire territory.
The recent escalation in Rafah has intensified international pressure on Tel Aviv. Decisions by the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice, along with European recognition of the Palestinian state, have added to this pressure. Reports from Hebrew Channel 13 suggest that UN Secretary-General António Guterres may consider adding Israel to the list of countries that kill children, a move that could result in military sanctions against Israel.
In a related context, the U.S. State Department stated that it is closely monitoring the results of Israel’s investigation into the Rafah incident. The department emphasized Israel’s right to track Hamas militants who hide among civilians. However, this statement has been criticized as an attempt to justify ongoing atrocities in the region.
Despite the gravity of the situation, the Biden administration has not deemed the Rafah attack a breach of the red lines set by President Joe Biden. The White House clarified that the incident does not constitute crossing the alleged red line, leaving room for further military actions in Rafah.
