Hamas in his statement indicates that he has “completed internal consultations and with the other Palestinian factions on the last proposal of the mediatory countries (USA, Qatar Egypt) to put an end to the aggression against the people of the Strip”. A source close to Hamas reported to Ynet that the Islamist organization asked for three changes to the American draft: reorganization of the mechanism for the arrival of humanitarian aid in accordance with the agreements of the previous one ceased the fire and retirement of the American company Gaza Foundation; a gradual withdrawal of the IDF on the positions established in the previous agreement; A commitment not to resume the fights even after the ceased 60 days with the promise to continue the negotiations.

The prime minister would intervene by raising his voice, and asking to prepare an extended plan for the evacuation of the population of Gaza towards the South: “I will not compromise, Hamas will not remain in Gaza in any way”. According to reconstruction, the head of the Idf Eyal Zamir would have opposed the control project on the Palestinian population, warning: “Do you want a military administration? Who will manage two million people?”. “I don’t want a military administration – Netanyahu would have replied – but I am not willing to leave Hamas in any form. Prepare an evacuation plan, I want to see it when I return to Washington”, he would have ordered. According to sources of Jerusalem, during the ceased the fire the IDF will remain inside the perimeter of the buffer area on the border between Gaza and Israel, including another 250 meters inside the strip.
