Response

While the Israeli army continues day after day tightening the cluster around the city of Gaza, there are increasing indications that Trump’s government intensifies its backstage efforts to achieve a truce, even at the last minute.

As state -run Israeli television today reports, next week, the US, Egypt and Qatar will propose to Israel and Hamas yet another ceasefire plan, which will not only aim at ending the war and liberalizing all hostages, but will include a new, more detailed framework for the future. However, more information has not yet been made known, and, according to the same sources, next week, the Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs and Head of Israeli negotiating team Ron Dermer will go back to the White House to meet with senior officials.

Young mediators

Meanwhile, new mediators have been making their appearance in recent days, who appear to have been making contact with the movements of the special American envoy Steven Witkov.

Specifically, last Thursday (4/9), the American-Palestinian academic researcher Bsara Bachbach, in an interview with a Saudi al-Arabia network, said that “they are now increasing more than ever, the positive signs of a definitive arrangement”. However, Hamas later denied information about any backstage contacts.

At the same time, this morning, Israeli media reports that in the contacts between Israel and Hamas in recent days, the well -known Israeli journalist and activist Gerson Baskin, who had taken on an active mediating role in the 2011 -friendly intercourse, had also begun to engage in the contacts between Israel and Hamas in recent days. Al-Casham Brigades in Gaza for five years. It is estimated that it is not a mere coincidence that in the video published by Hamas the day before, Friday (5/9), hostage Guilboo Dallal and Alon who were depicted in it today are held hostage in the city of Gaza by the same Palestinian city.

‘At all times we stop’

Commenting on today’s leaks, as well as the new names of mediators who are heard and in response to Israeli media, sources close to the Netanyahu environment says that “the Gaza business can stop at any time, as soon as there is substantial progress on the issue of release”. They add, however, that such a way out “at least for the time being, is not shown”.
