The IDF is currently demanding that the yellow line remain, but it is still unclear whether this will also be Israel's opening position in the negotiations. Another Israeli opening position concerns the rate of people entering Gaza at the Rafah crossing; the Israeli demand is that the number of people entering Gaza, which according to Israel will only be from among the refugees who fled Gaza when the war began, will not exceed half the number of people leaving. This position essentially expresses a demand that Hamas implement Netanyahu and Trump's transfer plan, and the chances are zero. It is unclear whether this position expresses an Israeli striving towards a balance between the number of people leaving and the number entering the Strip, that is, an opening position for bargaining that will end in equality between the rate of people entering and the rate of people leaving the Strip, or whether it is a stick that Israel will retroactively get stuck in the wheels of negotiations, in a way that will lead to the IDF returning to war, in order to eradicate Hamas. Hamas is demanding the implementation of the 2005 crossings agreement, according to which the Palestinian Authority will govern the Rafah crossing, under the supervision of European countries, and the IDF's remote supervision using cameras; in its current demand, Israel is demanding close supervision, that is, from a pavilion adjacent to the crossing. According to the 2005 agreement, those leaving and entering will be at the discretion of the PA, subject to the European supervision agreement and the Israeli remote supervision agreement. According to a Palestinian source, Hamas told Ramallah that at the end of the negotiations and if they are successful and an agreement is signed between the two parties, it will disarm. In our assessment, Hamas will also then demand symbolic control of Gaza, as well as a symbolic number of personal weapons, in accordance with Turkey's position. Turkey is trying to bring Iran to the negotiating table with the US, so that Turkey can gain a military presence in Gaza, with American consent, and on the Israeli condition that Iran be defeated before any such Turkish move. What complicates the picture a little more was British Prime Minister Starmer's report this week about a rapprochement between England and China. See today's main story; and while all eyes are on Gaza, the West Bank continues to boil, and according to a Palestinian source, it is close to exploding, following actions by settlers against Palestinians.
