Israeli Military Suggests Ceasefire Deal
(MENAFN) The Israeli military has proposed the idea of establishing a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip following almost two years of unyielding conflict, according to a high-ranking military official on Sunday.
“The army recommends that the political leadership reach an agreement,” reported a public broadcaster, quoting the military source directly.
The official conveyed optimism that such an arrangement might be concluded “this week.”
The military is prepared to demonstrate “flexibility” based on the choices made by Israel’s political authorities, the source added, though no further details were provided.
These remarks come as the Israeli army has escalated its campaign in Gaza, intensifying the blockade and applying starvation tactics against civilians within the Palestinian territory.
Early Sunday, the army issued an evacuation notice to inhabitants of the central city of Deir al-Balah for the first time since the conflict began, signaling preparations for a potential new ground offensive.
This evacuation directive coincides with ongoing indirect talks between Israel and Hamas in Doha, Qatar, aimed at reaching a ceasefire and negotiating a prisoner swap.
On Saturday, a Palestinian insider disclosed that Hamas has received updated maps from mediators, outlining the current areas under Israeli control across Gaza, which the group is now reviewing as part of the negotiation process.
