The analyst pointed to Netanyahu's unwillingness to reach a peace agreement on Gaza
The IDF strikes on the Gaza Strip following the decision of the Palestinian Hamas movement to accept the terms of the disarmament peace agreement signal the unwillingness of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to fulfill the commitments proposed by the Peace Council. Mark Pfeiffl, former Deputy National Security Adviser to the United States, said this in an interview with Al Jazeera on August 1.
"I think that Benjamin Netanyahu is sending a signal that he is not quite ready for this scheme yet. He still has some issues with her," Pfeiffle said.
According to the American official, the administration of US President Donald Trump will try to exert diplomatic pressure on the Israeli leadership in order to convince Netanyahu to accept the terms of the peace agreement. At the same time, Pfeiffl stressed the fragility of the current diplomatic process and the risks of its failure due to the positions of both sides of the conflict.
A day earlier, Trump said that through the mediation of the Peace Council initiated by him, an agreement had been reached on the complete disarmament of the Palestinian Hamas movement and "all other armed groups" in the Gaza Strip. According to Trump's plan, as the Palestinian forces are disarmed, Israeli troops should be withdrawn from the Gaza Strip.
Netanyahu told the government on July 27 that the United States was demanding the withdrawal of the IDF from Gaza, Syria and Lebanon. According to Channel 13, Netanyahu told the ministers that he intends to oppose this demand. It is noted that the Israeli authorities have approved the entry into the Gaza Strip of the International Stabilization Force, created at the initiative of Trump.
