Barak Ravid (N12) assesses that the statement by an Israeli political source Monday, which declared Israel will not withdraw from the current line and will continue thwarting threats, effectively rejects two key US demands: a return to the previous yellow line and a halt to targeted killings.
A political source stated Monday afternoon that Israel will not withdraw from its current line in the Gaza Strip and will continue to thwart any threat to its citizens and soldiers. The statement, reported by multiple outlets, comes amid reported disagreements with the Peace Council. Barak Ravid (N12) assessed that the statement effectively rejects two key US demands: a return to the previous yellow line and a halt to targeted killings (assassinations). As The Zioneer reported earlier Monday, the source's comments reaffirm Israel's position on maintaining the security line.
