A U.S. official told N12's Barak Ravid that the emerging deal with Hamas is a good one, and that any attempt by Hamas to cheat would bring the entire process to a halt. The statement comes in response to criticism in Israel over developments in Gaza.
A U.S. official speaking to N12's Barak Ravid on Thursday evening described the emerging Israel-Hamas deal as a good one, adding that the process would be halted immediately if Hamas attempts to deceive. The comment follows criticism in Israel over the direction of the Gaza negotiations. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, the emerging framework includes weapons storage under a technocrat government, amnesty for those who surrender arms, and a phased IDF withdrawal expected to take six to eight months.
