The Peak of Pulse check..

After the impression prevailed that the exchange deal, even if partial, would see the light of day after the meeting that began last night in Doha, Israel, led by Netanyahu, decided that there would be no wings capable of flying, and thus prevented it from flying to a new horizon, and maintained the state of war and aggression against Gaza.

There are many developments and events behind the scenes, some of which were revealed yesterday through the Hebrew media, and there are many issues that are still kept secret.

The scenario that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been repeating since the beginning of the war does not change. He always declares what he describes as blessing the efforts made to conclude the deal agreement, to gain the favor and sympathy of world public opinion. The last thing he praised was the Egyptian initiative. However, behind the scenes and in closed meetings, he insists on continuing the aggression and giving his army a free hand to carry out more massacres of genocide against our people in the Strip, by opposing all initiatives seeking to reach a ceasefire. The last initiative was the Egyptian one, as Channel 12 reported that the entire security establishment supported the Egyptian initiative for the deal, as did most of the ministers, with the exception of Smotrich and Ben-Gvir, who opposed it. Netanyahu also opposed the proposal because it included a two-day ceasefire period before the release of the prisoners. He explained that his position does not change from the principle of conducting negotiations under fire and pressure. Hence, Defense Minister Yoav Galant was clear in his statement yesterday afternoon when he said that “there is a need to make painful concessions to recover the hostages” held in Gaza, stressing: “All goals cannot be achieved through military operations alone,” criticizing Netanyahu and his decisions, another part of which was also revealed through the official broadcast channel (Kan 11), which said that all members of the Israeli cabinet agreed to the Egyptian initiative that would lead to a temporary halt to the aggression and the return of a number of detainees. However, Netanyahu also insisted on rejecting this approach, and even went further when he refused to hold the summit for negotiations in Cairo, according to the recommendations of the military services, and moved it to Doha, which made the head of the Egyptian intelligence service apologize for attending the summit in which the Qatari prime minister, the head of the American Central Intelligence Agency, and the head of the Mossad participated yesterday.

Among the dilemmas facing the discussion table in the Doha meeting is that the head of the Mossad went alone to the negotiations without taking with him the head of the Shin Bet and the head of the abductees file in the army. Here, Channel 2 indicates that Netanyahu did not give the head of the Mossad full authority to submit approval for the Egyptian initiative or other initiatives. Here, it seems that this summit comes this time to test the pulse of Hamas after the martyrdom of its leader Yahya Sinwar, and to find out its position if there is a change.

Yesterday, Hamas conducted a good tactical maneuver, sending a message to the mediators and stipulating the implementation of a single, comprehensive exchange deal, and before that, stopping the war forever, in response to the Egyptian president’s initiative. Hamas was clear that it did not agree to the fragmentation of its comprehensive deal, which gives Israel more time to continue the aggression. Therefore, it is waiting for the outcome of the Doha meeting and exploring whether it is compatible with its proposed vision for achieving a deal or not.

In confirmation of the movement’s fixed vision, a responsible source said that any exchange deal must only pass through: an immediate ceasefire, an end to the genocide, the occupation’s withdrawal from Gaza, the provision of relief, and reconstruction, as it wants an honorable deal agreed upon by both parties. However, it is clear that Netanyahu decided to cut off all means and discussions capable of reaching the deal, and sent the head of the Mossad without wings, in an attempt to test the pulse of the resistance only.
