The report described this idea as the “Beirut 1982 model,” and it was discussed in several high-ranking bodies in Israel, and Netanyahu “expressed great interest in it,” in order to prevent the war from continuing and Israel incurring losses, but estimates are that this is an imaginary idea.

The Israeli government is considering several ideas, claiming that they will “allow the fall of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, and quickly,” according to what the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported today, Thursday.

One of these ideas claims "the possibility of members of Hamas's military arm (the Qassam Brigades) leaving the Gaza Strip, with the approval of Israel, including its leaders, in exchange for the lives and liberation of all the kidnapped."

The newspaper described this idea as the “Beirut 1982 model,” referring to the departure of the Palestine Liberation Organization, led by Yasser Arafat, from the Lebanese capital, following the Israeli army’s invasion of Lebanon, and the move to Tunisia.

The newspaper added that this idea was discussed in several high-ranking bodies in Israel, and that the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, “expressed great interest in it, and requested the provision of other materials about it and will obtain them later.”

According to the newspaper, Hamas’s departure from the Gaza Strip “will allow the establishment of another regime, will confirm that it has been defeated, will create regional deterrence, and does not seem to require a creeping occupation that would cost the lives of Israeli soldiers and precious time.”

The newspaper considered that the “problem” with this idea “is not the Hamas leadership, but rather the thousands of activists who must leave, the tunnels, the military production workshops, and the rocket shells that must disappear.”

The newspaper added, “If the Israeli army declared the southern Gaza Strip a humanitarian safe zone, why do Hamas leaders not hole up in their own fortifications there, not far from Rafah, and simply refuse to leave?”

It continued, "If the time comes for Hamas to consider surrender, will Hezbollah enter the war under any circumstances and turn everything around, in case it sets a dangerous precedent for defeat?"
