According to reports, the IDF has set three red lines for the 15-point Gaza framework agreement, including opposition to any partial or phased Israeli withdrawal until Hamas has fully disarmed. The condition reflects Israel's insistence on full demilitarization before territorial concessions.
The reported red lines come amid ongoing negotiations over the 15-point framework, which The Zioneer has covered extensively. In recent days, a political source said Israel rejected the current framework due to insufficient disarmament provisions (The Zioneer, July 30). Hamas has previously insisted on defining its weapons as 'legitimate resistance tools' and demanded the disarmament of Israeli-linked militias (The Zioneer, July 28). The latest report indicates that Israel is taking a firm position, requiring full disarmament as a precondition for any withdrawal.
