To avoid a fallout, Netanyahu seeks to expand the war

Al Jazeera TV channel, reported that the disagreement between the Zionist authorities to reach an agreement with the Hamas movement on the issue of a cease-fire in Gaza and the exchange of prisoners has greatly increased, so that the far-right parties are strongly against any agreement, and on the other hand, Netanyahu's opponents they want to agree on the exchange of prisoners.

Accordingly, in his latest stance against Netanyahu, Barak criticized his extremist cabinet for its inability to reach an agreement with Hamas and said: "Netanyahu is dragging Israel into a regional war. Netanyahu sentenced our prisoners in Gaza to death."

Barak then noted: "Netanyahu's insistence on controlling the Philadelphia Corridor in southern Gaza is of no political interest to Israel." 

This is despite the fact that the office of the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime had announced in advance: "Tel Aviv wants to control the Philadelphia Corridor on the Gaza-Egypt border, because it does not allow terrorist groups to re-arm."

This corridor is part of a large demilitarized zone on both sides of the border between Egypt and Gaza.

Israel's Channel 13 also pointed to the sharp differences between the Zionist regime's negotiating team and Netanyahu and emphasized: "The negotiating team has warned Benjamin Netanyahu that the failure of the talks will make it very difficult to resume them."

Israel's Channel 13 added, "Netanyahu told the Zionist negotiating team that the failure or success of the talks is none of their business."

Israel's Channel 13 also reported. "The Zionist negotiating team has told Netanyahu that if he insists on the continued presence of the Zionist regime military in the Philadelphia and Netzarim zones, the negotiations will fail."

The TV channel also reported. "US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has entered occupied Palestine to explain to Netanyahu the consequences of failing this round of negotiations."

At the same time, the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) announced: "Oppose the project proposed by the United States on the cease-fire in Gaza, because this project fully meets the conditions of Benjamin Netanyahu and favors the Zionist regime."

Noting that this project does not emphasize the complete cessation of war, Hamas added. "After listening to the statements of the mediators regarding the last negotiations, we were once again convinced that Netanyahu continues to obstruct the conclusion of an agreement."

In the end, the Islamic resistance movement of Palestine emphasized. "The new project meets Netanyahu's conditions. Especially his opposition to establishing a permanent ceasefire and withdrawing from Gaza."

Moreover, Israel continues to occupy the Netzarim area, the Rafah crossing and the Philadelphia zone.

On Thursday and Friday, August 15 and 16, negotiations on the establishment of a ceasefire in Gaza took place in Doha, the capital of Qatar, with the participation of the United States, Egypt and Qatar.

Hamas did not participate in the negotiations and announced. "Instead of new negotiations, we should focus on the previous agreement."

According to the report, these negotiations will resume soon in Cairo.

These negotiations took place after the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the late head of the political bureau of Hamas in Tehran. A terrorist act, after which Iran announced that it would force repentance on the Israeli regime, and according to experts, the United States and the Arab countries hope that with the establishment of a ceasefire, Iran will refrain from retaliating.

Israeli officials are convinced that Netanyahu does not want to end the war to save his political life, and the head of Iran's advocacy office in Cairo says that if Netanyahu accepts the ceasefire on balanced terms, he will have to say goodbye to power.
