Shin Bet Chief Ronen Zini warned the security cabinet on Friday that Hamas's acceptance of the Trump plan is a deception ploy, according to a report. The warning underscores the Israeli security establishment's deep skepticism of the terror group's intentions. As The Zioneer has reported, Zini previously assessed that Hamas's strategy is to accept a ceasefire in principle to buy time and push for reconstruction without demilitarization. The Shin Bet chief has also warned against allowing any non-IDF force to control the Gaza-Egypt border, citing extensive smuggling attempts. The statement comes amid diplomatic efforts to advance a framework for Gaza's future, with Israeli officials repeatedly stating that Hamas is stalling to avoid disarmament.
