The Hebrew Broadcasting Authority revealed, on Monday, that Israel is considering a settlement that would require the deportation of Hamas leaders abroad, with the aim of ending the war that has been ongoing in the Gaza Strip for more than two months.

The commission said: “Israel is studying the possibility of transferring Hamas’ leadership abroad, as part of a settlement aimed at ending the war in the Gaza Strip.”

The authority quoted an Israeli source familiar with the details of the ongoing deliberations in this regard, saying: “There is no concrete proposal on the table at this stage, but this possibility is under discussion.”

According to the source, discussion of this issue is possible “provided that it does not harm the goal set by the Israeli mini-ministerial council for security and political affairs (the cabinet), which is to eliminate the authoritarian and military capabilities of the Hamas movement.”

The Commission did not reveal the names of the Hamas leaders it intends to deport, or the country to which they are expected to be deported, but it explained that “while there are leaders of the Hamas movement in Gaza, there are also leaders in Qatar, Lebanon, and other countries.”

On Sunday evening, the Broadcasting Corporation began circulating news about the deportation of Hamas leaders in exchange for ending the war, which is considered a clear reduction of the Israeli ambition after eliminating the movement and its leaders was a priority during the war in which Tel Aviv suffered many material and human losses.

Commenting on this, Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir said in a tweet on Sunday evening: “With (the leader of Hamas in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar) and (the leader of the military wing of Hamas, Muhammad Al-Deif), there is only one solution, which is to liquidate them!” Not deportation or negotiation.”

The number of Israeli soldiers and officers killed since the outbreak of the war in the Gaza Strip and Hamas’ implementation of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7 has reached 489, the Israeli army announced on Monday morning.

The Israeli government has repeatedly repeated that one of the goals of its war on Gaza is to liquidate the leaders of Hamas, the first of whom are Al-Deif and Al-Sanwar, and it has allocated material rewards to those who provide information indicating their locations and achieving this.

As of Monday morning, Hamas had not commented on this report.
