Last night's security cabinet session saw ministers firmly reiterate Israel's absolute opposition to the Peace Council's 15-point roadmap, according to a report. The position of total rejection is to be conveyed to the United States.
The hardening of the stance follows an earlier report from this morning that ministers had demanded postponement of the roadmap during the same cabinet meeting. The new details indicate a more definitive position: outright rejection rather than a delay.
The Peace Council's roadmap, published on July 31, proposed a phased disarmament of Hamas and other factions, with heavy weapons remaining under Palestinian control and a synchronized Israeli withdrawal. The IDF had reportedly set red lines demanding full Hamas disarmament before any withdrawal, as The Zioneer reported on August 3. On Thursday evening, a political source told Channel 14 that the 15-point document is unacceptable and Israel will not retreat from the Yellow Line. The cabinet's absolute rejection now aligns the political echelon with the military's hardline position, potentially deepening the deadlock in negotiations with Washington.
