Shadows of doubt

The proposals for the exchange deal put forward by US President Joe Biden on behalf of Israel interact in all circles with a call from the United States to Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey to put pressure on the Hamas movement to agree to the deal in order to end the war, without the United States pledging guarantees until this moment, at a time when The nature of the Israeli commitment was not revealed, as the Israeli statements that the occupation would agree to end the war after the end of the sixth week of the details of the first phase of the deal cast doubt on important parts of the deal, especially since Israel publicly stated that it would return to war if Hamas violated any of the terms of the three stages of the deal.


The United States places a huge burden on the Hamas movement and the Palestinian side, believing that Hamas’s approval will resolve the deal and it will come to light immediately. It is better for the United States to look at it from all angles, especially what is coming from the Israeli side and Netanyahu’s statements that the war cannot be stopped except after Hamas is completely destroyed. And another angle was raised by the United States itself yesterday, when it stated that it fears that Netanyahu will succumb to the pressures of the extreme right led by Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich and sabotage the deal, especially after Smotrich’s statements that he would not be part of a government that would agree to a deal like this, and Ben Gvir, who considered this The deal is a defeat and a slap to Israel, and he will dissolve the Israeli government if Netanyahu agrees to it and does not go to eliminate Hamas..


The Israeli side's proposals remained secret inside the war cabinet, as Defense Minister Galant, Chief of Staff Herzi Halevy, Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, and ministers Gadi Eisenkot and Benny Gantz forced Netanyahu's approval in the last cabinet session last Wednesday, and when the American president revealed the details the day before yesterday, the atmosphere became tense. Especially since Ben Gvir and Smotrich do not want a deal that ends the war at all, at a time when War Council member Benny Gantz said that Biden’s proposal was unanimously approved within the Israeli War Council, calling for the War Council to be held with the negotiating team in order to take the decision on the steps. Coming.


We are waiting for the official Palestinian point of view, which shows positive signs in principle, in response to the proposals. We do not bet at all on Israel, which always renounces the agreements, and which may exploit the stages of the deal, if approved by Hamas, to ensure the release of detainees and then return to resume the deal. Aggression, and this is not surprising for a government whose decisions are influenced by the extremism of Ben Gvir and Smotrich and the manipulation and cunning of Netanyahu.


Very great Egyptian, Qatari and American efforts are being made to reach the expected deal, and the ball is only in the court of Israel, whose side is not to be trusted.


Has the war reached its final additional stage, or are there more rounds of slaughter, killing and destruction for a sector that is awaiting the final whistle with great eagerness..??
