The prime minister insisted on sending Israel’s team to present the plan despite them having rejected it months ago
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tasked the Israeli negotiating team with presenting his plan for the Netzarim corridor in Gaza to mediators in Cairo – despite it having been rejected months ago, Hebrew media reported on 27 August.
Security sources told Ynet on Tuesday that Netanyahu tasked the team this week “with presenting in Cairo the outline he accepted for solving the Netzarim axis issue, the exact same idea that had already been rejected in the past.”
This plan includes “digging trenches across the axes that cross Netzarim from north to south in a way that would not allow the passage of vehicles, and diverting vehicles that request to cross to the east, towards the perimeter, where they will pass an inspection and enter the north.”
The proposal for Netzarim was taken off the table months ago for several reasons, the report added.
Among these reasons are how long it would take to implement, its hindrance to the Palestinian movement, and “above all – there is no chance that it will be accepted by Hamas, or the mediators.”
“The negotiating team has already told Netanyahu that they strongly oppose this proposal, but the Prime Minister insisted that it be forwarded to the mediators – who, as expected, rejected it outright,” Ynet said.
A source in the negotiating team told the Hebrew outlet that “if we resolve one clause [of the ceasefire proposal] … Netanyahu brings another.”
The report also highlights how the negotiating team has been restricted by Netanyahu, further complicating the deal.
The Israeli team headed to Cairo on Sunday. Hamas has opted out of the talks and is demanding a return to a 2 July proposal based on an outline announced by Joe Biden in late May.
