The Hebrew Channel 13 said on Tuesday evening that the Israeli army representative in the negotiating team, Major General Reserve Nitzan Alon, resigned from his position.

The Hebrew Channel reported, citing sources, that Major General Allon resigned against the backdrop of Netanyahu’s insistence on preventing the expansion of the powers of the negotiating delegation.

In the first week of March, the Israeli Channel 14 revealed a large series of resignations that had recently taken place in the ranks of the Israeli army against the backdrop of the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.

Channel 14 said that a number of senior officials in the information system in the Israeli army submitted their resignations.

It reported that "Colonel Shlomit Miller Botbol, who is considered the second-in-command in the Israeli army spokesman's department after Daniel Hagari, also submitted his resignation, in addition to a large number of responsible officers in the army's information department."

The Israeli channel added that "Moran Katz, head of the communications department in the Israeli army spokesman's unit, will leave her job, in addition to the Israeli army spokesman for foreign media affairs, General Richard Hecht."

The channel attributed these mass resignations to the officers' protest against the conduct of operational and personal matters, and explained that the resignations "reflect the state of turmoil" in the information unit managed by Hagari.

Israeli reports in recent months indicate deep disagreements between the government and the Israeli army due to the government's management of the war.

The Israeli War Council (cabinet) has also witnessed widespread disagreements since October 7 with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the management of the war and the details of the truce deal, ceasefire, and prisoner exchange with the Hamas movement.

Two Egyptian security sources announced that Cairo had made contact with a number of senior figures in Hamas and Israel, and other mediators, on Sunday, in an attempt to resume negotiations on a truce in the Gaza Strip during the month of Ramadan.

The two sources added, according to Reuters, that Egyptian contacts with Hamas and the Israeli intelligence service Mossad took place on Sunday with authorization from the Egyptian presidency in an attempt to bring together the differing positions of the two sides, without providing further details.
