The differences between Netanyahu and Tel Aviv’s military-security authorities’
The discovery of the bodies of 6 Zionist captives led to the start of a new round of public demonstrations in the occupied territories for Netanyahu’s withdrawal from the condition that Israeli forces remain in the border strip with Egypt. In particular, it has become the center of Philadelphia. Based on the published information from the Doha-Cairo talks, it seems that the parties to the conflict have reached a general agreement on almost all clauses and are only negotiating on how to implement them. However, Netanyahu’s insistence on not withdrawing the occupying army forces from the mentioned border line has caused the Hamas movement to reject any agreement with the occupying forces and to demand pressure from the international community on the Zionist regime to unconditionally accept Security Council Resolution 2735.
This disputed issue has not only raised the voice of Hamas or mediator actors, but the heads of security services and Israeli military commanders also believe that Tel Aviv does not have much time to bargain and must accept the ceasefire agreement quickly to return the prisoners alive.
The most important difference between Netanyahu and the members of the security cabinet of the occupying regime is the remaining of Israeli army forces in the Netsarim corridor and the Philadelphia axis. The Prime Minister of Israel believes that the mentioned areas are the vital highways of Hamas, and if they are not under the control of the army, all the achievements of Israel in recent months will be lost.
In the recent meeting of the cabinet, he asked its members to vote for a plan that considers the presence of Israeli army forces in the Philadelphia axis in its various scenarios. During this voting, Gallant voted “negative” and Ben Guer voted “abstained”. Netanyahu insists on the condition that David Barne and Ronan Bar, the heads of the Mossad and Shin Bet, believe that the continuation of this situation can seriously endanger the lives of the Zionist prisoners.
