Israel publicly assumes that it will not comply with all the clauses included in the peace plan for the Gaza Strip promoted by the Donald Trump Administration. The Minister of Defense, Israel Katzstated this Tuesday that His troops will “never” leave the Palestinian enclavedespite the commitment signed on October 10, which includes the withdrawal of the IDF in three phases.
“We are in a period of practical sovereignty. There are opportunities that have not existed for a long time,” he stressed during an event held in a settlement in the occupied West Bank. “We will never leave Gaza, there will be no such thing. We are here to defend and prevent what happened from being repeated“, he added in reference to the terrorist attacks perpetrated by Hamas on October 7.
Israeli troops have controlled since last October, after the signing of the truce, 53% of the Palestinian enclave. The second phase, which has not yet been implemented because Israel denounces that the Islamist organization has not yet returned the body of a hostage and is still not disarming, contemplates a new withdrawal of the IDF.

It would be at this time that the International Stabilization Force would be deployed, to which the Israeli Army would have to hand over control of the territory to maintain order alongside a transitional government authority. “Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza”is clearly stated in point number 16 of the peace plan. A commitment that the Prime Minister has repeatedly guaranteed Benjamin Netanyahu.
“When the time comes, we will establish Nahal (Infantry) outposts in northern Gaza instead of the settlements that were dismantled“, Israel Katz revealed this Tuesday, according to the Israeli press. “We will do it the right way, at the right time. Some protest, but we are ministers.”
The first stage of the agreement, which came into force on October 10, included the cessation of hostilities, in addition to the release of all hostages by Hamas and Palestinian prisoners on the Israeli side.
Tel Aviv also had to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza. However, Israeli attacks have not completely ceased, and its drones continue to fly over Gaza while the troops shoot to those who consider that they come too close or supposedly cross the dividing line, the so-called “yellow line”.

The death toll in the Gaza Strip since the 7-O attacks exceeds 70,000while the injured number more than 171,000, according to figures from the Gaza Ministry of Health.
During the event in Beit El, Katz also addressed the Government’s decision, taken this Monday, to close the radio Galei Tzahalthe station operated by the Army, which he accuses of having taken a political turn.
“I have ordered that the station’s soldiers be assigned to combat or combat support functions. We are short of soldiers; the vacation is over,” declared the Minister of Defense about a decision that has generated strong criticism both in the Army and among the opposition.
