New reports claim that Israel’s defense minister, army chief, and heads of Mossad and Shin Bet have come to an agreement that Hamas will not be able to effectively regroup if the IDF temporarily leaves the Gaza Strip as part of a potential hostage deal. This news suggests that Israel may be able to withstand withdrawing from Gaza for six weeks, according to security chiefs.
These security chiefs reportedly briefed the Prime Minister on the situation, indicating confidence in Israel’s ability to maintain security even with a temporary absence from Gaza. This development comes amidst ongoing tensions in the region and discussions surrounding possible negotiations with Hamas.
It remains to be seen how this potential agreement will unfold and what impact it may have on the region’s security dynamics. However, the consensus among these top security officials is sure to influence decision-making at the highest levels of government.
