Israel’s Foreign Minister, Israel Katz, has assured that plans to launch a massive attack on the Gazan city of Rafah, the last refuge of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians expelled from other parts of the enclave by Israeli bombings, will be automatically suspended in the moment it reaches an agreement with the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas to release the hostages it holds.
“The release of the hostages represents a key issue for us, so yes: if there is an agreement, we will suspend the operation,” he said in an interview given this past Saturday to Channel 12 of Israeli television. Katz confirms what official Israeli sources reported to the country’s media this past Saturday: that the new offer presented in the last few hours to Hamas is the “final opportunity” that the Palestinian organization has to accept a ceasefire or, otherwise, , the Israeli Army will launch its major offensive on the city.

Hamas is expected to respond in the next few hours to the latest truce counteroffer mediated in Cairo, while in Israel various ministers have engaged in an online dispute over the need or not to reach a truce that frees part of the 133 hostages.
“Either agreement now, or Rafá,” this Channel 12 source has warned before stating that the Israeli Army is absolutely convinced that this is where the person considered to be the architect of the October 7 massacre in Israel is hiding, the leader of Hamas in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar.
However, there is no consensus in the Israeli war cabinet on this position. In fact, the Minister of Finance himself and leader of the far-right Religious Zionism Party, Bezalel Smotrich, threatened this Sunday to stop supporting the Government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if it cancels the invasion of Rafá.
