Israeli ministers said Monday that the cabinet's decision to deploy a multinational force in Gaza was made on the basis of false information, according to Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). The ministers did not specify which information was false.
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and Settlements Minister Orit Strook claimed Monday that the cabinet's decision to deploy a multinational force (ISF) to Gaza was based on false information, according to a report by Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). The ministers did not specify which details were incorrect. This follows a series of reports from multiple Israeli news outlets earlier Monday afternoon.
At 16:10 Jerusalem, multiple reports from N12's Dafna Liel, N13/Army Radio's Moriah Asraf and Doron Kadosh, and i24NEWS's Amichai Stein detailed the ministers' demands. The ministers first called on Prime Minister Netanyahu to halt the ISF entry, then demanded a cabinet re-vote, and later published seven specific objections to the Gaza Peace Council's roadmap, including that the disarmament plan is not genuine and that the ISF's role has shifted from disarming terror groups to separating IDF forces from the Palestinian administration.
The ISF is a multinational force designated to manage stabilization in Gaza. The ministers claim the cabinet decision was based on a misleading 'Peace Council map' that contradicts the goal of disarming Hamas. The Prime Minister's Office has not yet responded to the demands.
The ministers have not specified which specific information presented to the cabinet was false. It remains unclear whether the Prime Minister will convene a re-vote or halt the force's entry.
