The Zioneer published an analysis Sunday evening citing an i24NEWS report by Yossi Yehoshua that the IDF Chief of Staff ordered a halt to targeted killings on Monday evening, and no such operations have been carried out since. The analysis argues that the halt, combined with the IDF's continued presence on the original yellow line (53% of Gaza) and temporary reconstruction work in Rafah, indicates that Israel is effectively implementing the 15-point peace plan despite Prime Minister Netanyahu's public rejection. The analysis contrasts the public stance with what it describes as a different reality on the ground.
The Zioneer published an analysis Sunday evening arguing that Israel is effectively implementing the 15-point peace plan for Gaza despite Prime Minister Netanyahu's public rejection. The analysis cites an i24NEWS report by Yossi Yehoshua stating that the IDF Chief of Staff ordered a halt to targeted killings on Monday evening, and that no such operations have been carried out since. The analysis also notes that IDF forces remain on the original yellow line, covering about 53% of the Strip, with no outposts or forces beyond it.
The claim contrasts with Netanyahu's public statements. As The Zioneer reported Sunday, Netanyahu explicitly rejected the 15-point document during the weekly cabinet meeting, insisting that the IDF would not withdraw until Hamas was completely disarmed. The Peace Council, which drafted the plan, has maintained that it was coordinated with Israel. Earlier this week, Channel 14 reported that the agreement was amended to require Hamas to surrender light weapons, with withdrawal only after disarmament. A political source also reiterated on Friday that no withdrawal would occur without disarmament, while noting the yellow line had expanded to 70%.
Regarding reconstruction, the analysis says that while Israel's public position is 'no reconstruction without demilitarization,' the Peace Council clarifies that the work in Rafah involves temporary structures, not permanent buildings. The analysis concludes that despite the rhetoric, the actions on the ground — including the halt to strikes and the maintenance of the ceasefire — align with the 15-point framework. The analysis remains unconfirmed by official Israeli sources, and the gap between public statements and actions continues to be a point of contention.
