Short version of the news
Hamas does not want to go to truce with Israel. The leaders of the group demand the preservation of their own power.
About this Channel 24 said the editor-in-chief of the Israeli portal “Details” Emil Shleimovich, noting that this is very beneficial for them. After all, this way they can receive 19.5 billion dollars of international assistance for reconstruction.
Half of these funds can be put into their pockets, and also used for military needs. Meanwhile, the militants are already trying to restore the battalions that were destroyed by the IDF.
“They understand that this is their only chance to save their lives. Therefore, all these feelings that “there is about to be a deal” is a deception that Western partners fall for,” said the editor-in-chief of the Israeli portal “Details”. < /p>
HAMAS does not agree to any conditions, except for ending the war, the complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from the entire Gaza Strip and the preservation of own power. Perhaps in a new format in the future.
In addition, the militant delegation periodically changes the terms of the agreement, which have already were allegedly agreed upon with the mediators – in particular, Egypt and Qatar.
This is simply a deliberate delay, because the more time passes from October 7, the greater the pressure on Israel. The lower the level of understanding in the Western world of why all this is happening. This is considered “revenge,” but this is not revenge,” Shleimovich emphasized.
The agreement is not concluded due to the fact that Hamas from the very beginning does not go to him. This is the only reason.
However, negotiations are possible regarding the fact that Hamas leaders will be allowed to leave the territory of the Gaza Strip. There is also an option to agree that they will not be eliminated on the territory of certain countries.
Israel against

So, more than 300 thousand civilians have already been evacuated from the combat zone. They are placed in refugee settlements.
“The humanitarian zone there has been expanded. Undoubtedly, all actions continue – leaflets are scattered, the defense army may invade websites or radio broadcasts. In addition, Arabic-speaking employees work who call people and convince everyone to leave this zone,” the editor-in-chief noted Israeli portal “Details”.
Meanwhile, Hamas still has the resources for shelling. So they fired again the southern border of Israel – the city of Ashkelon.
Hamas is trying to achieve a complete withdrawal of Israel and a guarantee that the war will not be resumed after some period of time,” added Emil Shleimovich.
But Israel is capable of this disagrees and is ready to make very big concessions to free the terrorists. However, without obligation, that the war will not resume after the agreement takes place.
“The goal that Israel stated was that Hamas's power should be destroyed and its leaders should be destroyed, the organization must cease to exist – no one has canceled it,” noted the editor-in-chief of the Israeli portal “Details”.
