The ability to prevent Palestinians from traveling from south of Gaza to north was the largest leverage above Israel, and it was an important point in the negotiations in the past few months.
In a week before the hostage agreement was signed, Israel tried to work freely against terrorists in the northern areas of the Gaza Strip, on the one hand, on the one hand, and on the other, on Hamas, on the other hand. Tried to pressure it to agree. For the hostage agreement.
“We will not allow people to go freely from the southern part to the northern region. Everyone will be examined. But the past 24 hours photos, showing this promise was an imaginary concept. People travel freely. Hamas terrorists appear on the way.
Yes, there was an article in the hostage agreement two weeks ago that cars would be checked, but from the pictures on the ground, this is not happening at all. Even if it is eventually implemented, terrorists have moved with weapons, without any scrutiny, which will change the landscape north of the raid that the IDF cleansed the terrorists. Work hard to do.
The hostage negotiations
During the hostage agreement talks, Hamas demanded that half of the 600 humanitarian aid trucks traveling to Gaza would go to the northern areas to return to return.
So, when Israeli officials say “if we need, we will return to the war”, but that may be true, but the place of landscape will be quite different from where they left it, which I was abolished by the Netzerium Corridor and are returning to fight in the IDF military areas. It will be filled with Palestinians and who knows how many terrorists are.
It is not surprising that Hamas worked hard to reach an agreement on the release of Arbal Jews in exchange for freedom of movement.
On Saturday, after the release of 3 hostages, Israel will benefit more, while 50 injured Hamas terrorists will be allowed to leave the enclave through Rafa crossing daily. With more than 4 weeks left in the phase of the hostage agreement, when it comes to issuing hostages to Hamas, Hamas does not prevent Hamas from returning to its old tricks and manipulation.
Moreover, when the conversation for Israel for step two will start 16 days of the Seas Fire? What pressure will Israel face Hamas to sign a deal that can take all the hostages home?
