Internal Israeli Recommendations to Prevent Collapse of Ceasefire Agreement

ISRAELI MEDIA (Citing official Sources):

The Israeli security establishment has issued internal recommendations to prevent the collapse of the ceasefire agreement with Gaza, emphasizing the need to stabilize the ceasefire at this stage of the deal.

According to the Israeli website Walla, the head of the Shin Bet (Israel’s internal security agency) informed the mini-political and security cabinet of the necessity to make efforts to complete the first phase of the deal and to urge mediators to prevent Hamas from carrying out its threat to suspend the handover of detainees.

For its part, Israeli Channel 12 quoted a security source as saying that dialogue with mediators is ongoing to prevent the collapse of the deal, and that Israel will continue with the agreement if Hamas releases only three prisoners next Saturday, rather than all prisoners as demanded by US President Donald Trump.

Additionally, Israeli Army Radio quoted an official source as stating that retrieving prisoners from Gaza through military operations has become a complicated and nearly impossible task.
