According to a report by Army Radio (N13), Israel has relayed to Washington that it will not accept restrictions on operations targeting terrorists who participated in the October 7 massacre. The same communication reportedly indicated that Israel is moderating its broader military activity in the Gaza Strip.
The report, attributed to sources in the news broadcast, underscores a key Israeli red line in the ongoing diplomatic dialogue with the United States over Gaza operations. As The Zioneer has previously reported, Israel has been accelerating its campaign to eliminate all terrorists involved in the October 7 massacre, even amid broader negotiations and periods of moderation. The message also reflects a calibrated approach: maintaining operational pressure against the perpetrators of the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust, while signaling restraint to the Biden administration on wider strikes. The parenthetical remark by the source — "quite unbelievable" — hints at skepticism within Israeli circles about the sustainability of the dual policy.
