An analysis published Sunday afternoon argues that recent reports indicating a halt to Israeli targeted killings in Gaza were premature. The analysis also states that the Gaza Peace Council is directing pressure at Israel, despite the requirement that Hamas disarm under the 20-point plan.
The analysis, circulated on Sunday afternoon, takes issue with earlier reports that suggested a halt to targeted killings of Hamas operatives in Gaza. It asserts that such reports were premature. The analysis further notes that the Gaza Peace Council continues to direct pressure at Israel, even though Hamas was obligated to disarm under the framework established by the 20-point plan. The piece reflects ongoing tensions between Israel and the international body over the pace of disarmament and the continuation of counter-terror operations. As The Zioneer reported on July 31, Israel Hayom correspondent Ariel Kahana described the Peace Council's push for a halt to targeted killings as 'unacceptable.'
