Against the backdrop of the negotiations with Hamas: The IDF is outraged that the government is trying to turn it into the government's army: Netanyahu to the Chief of Staff: "You are subordinate to me, and you will do everything I tell you." The Chief of Staff to Netanyahu: "I am subordinate to the law and the state, not to you." The President is still silent (see today's editorial) Source: Netanyahu will accuse Hamas of refusing at the end of the 60 days, to renew the war as the fanatics demand. The tool he will use: the perimeter

Israel demands that during the 60-day ceasefire, the Morag axis and the perimeter remain in its hands. Hamas agreed to receive guarantees from Qatar and Egypt to end the war, and a vague promise from the US president (we do not know the wording). However, following Israel's firm demand to remain on the Morag axis, and following the hint in the move that Israel intended to remain on the perimeter even in a permanent agreement, Hamas is now demanding a withdrawal from Morag and a refinement of the guarantees, including the American guarantee. Hamas's demand is that the IDF return to the October 6 lines at the end of the war. Palestinian source: Abu Mazen will form a new government headed by Hussein al-Sheikh, with the intention that it will govern the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. France may recognize the move. The US may have already agreed to the formation of this government, which is in deep diplomatic relations with the United Arab Emirates and will be supervised by it.

The motive that is currently driving the discussions on the ceasefire negotiations in Israel is Prime Minister Netanyahu's apparent intention to withdraw his agreement to end the war, by presenting Hamas as a party that refuses to be flexible (however, it should be noted that the current reality is one of decisive negotiations, and any move may therefore be a bargaining chip and maneuver in negotiations rather than an unequivocal position).

According to a source, Netanyahu intends to use the perimeter to return to the war at the end of the 60 days, occupy the Gaza Strip, and establish a military government there. This is why, according to the source, Netanyahu is demanding that the residents of northern Gaza be gathered south of the Morag axis, in a way that he can order the IDF to operate freely in the northern Gaza Strip, and defeat Hamas there in the event of renewed fighting, and the current commander of Hamas forces in the Gaza Strip, Al-Haddad. This apparent intention to once again bend the war to the political interests of the Likud and the fanatical parties contradicts the defense establishment's views that, first and foremost, Israel must now return all the abductees, even at the cost of ending the war.

A source reported that against this backdrop of political maneuvering in the negotiations, a difficult conversation took place this week between the Chief of Staff and the Prime Minister; Benjamin Netanyahu told the Chief of Staff: "You are subordinate to me, and you will do everything I tell you." The Chief of Staff replied, "I am subordinate to the law and the state, not to you; the government outlines policy. I will do everything the government decides within the framework of the law, and I say again, I am subordinate to the law and the state, not to you." See today's editorial for more information.
