An Israeli, Palestinian, American meeting took place in Jerusalem

Benjamin Nitai returns to America, on the eve of war in the North; He bets that war will not break out in his absence; He causes the families of the abductees, the residents of Gaza, the IDF, the Palestinian Authority, Egypt and the whole world and his family to boil

A newspaper among enemies

Equipped with a see-me plane, which, after about a billion shekels, got a windshield this week, Netanyahu is going tomorrow to give a speech in the American Congress; Even if the presentation in Congress will carry important political content, still the risk of a war in Lebanon without a prime minister outweighs any advantage. What's more, he can release the announcement right now, in Jerusalem, when the whole scene, including the families of the abductees and the uninvolved residents of Gaza, are hoping for good news.

The Israeli who moved to America and studied there in one of its important institutions, Nitai, will return tomorrow to the beginning of his political and economic culture. He will do this instead of remaining here on the border of the burning north, and instead of closing the southern front; Instead of moving the iron fist of the IDF to the north, and instead of returning the 120 Israelis and the four veteran hostages including Goldin and Shaul; and instead of letting Gaza recover.

In our estimation, the war in Gaza ended on January 23, when the IDF defeated Hamas, and ended its power to govern and wage an organized war. In January, the Palestinian Authority agreed to give Israel everything it asked for, if only it would be allowed to govern in the Strip. The PA agreed to commit to disarming Gaza, and to work to return the abductees. But Netanyahu preferred his government, the government of the fanatics that has been working for almost two years to take over the judicial system and is working to do so even now; Netanyahu refused every offer. Now Netanyahu is conducting negotiations with the same Palestinian Authority and with Dahlan, half a year late, when the delay resulted in the strengthening of the northern front. The Jewish mind. This time, as we reported about three weeks ago, Netanyahu is considering initiating elections himself, if an agreement is reached in Gaza. And this is to take the initiative from the fanatics, he already did a similar thing in 2012, and won.

The coordination meeting that took place this week between Tzachi Hangabi, and Hussein al-Sheikh and Majed Faraj, and an American intelligence officer whose identity we do not know, revolved around the control of the crossings, and the government in the Gaza Strip. We don't know much more than that. As we previously reported, Netanyahu has been talking with the Palestinian Authority for the past month, and he has already let it practice controlling the crossings and returning to power in Gaza. Following the coordination that took place this week in Jerusalem, we believe Netanyahu is considering making a precedent-setting announcement regarding "the day after Gaza" in Washington, and if he does, we believe he would prefer to make it in Congress and not in the White House.

In coordination with the Palestinian Authority, the person who is now proposed to run the government in Gaza is Muhammad Dahlan. Dahlan's men are already on the Egyptian side of the crossings in Gaza, waiting for Netanyahu's consent to cross into the Strip. Several hundred of Dahlan's people, in coordination with the Palestinian Authority and with the PA's people in the Gaza Strip, are already preparing the ground in Gaza to hold on to power. An important Palestinian source said that Dahlan's men are also participating in the ceasefire negotiations that are currently taking place in Egypt.
