The US foreign minister’s return visit to the occupied territories

report Mehr News Agency, the Zionist newspaper Israel Hume wrote that US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken will visit the occupied territories early next week.

According to this Zionist newspaper, Blinken’s new trip to Tel Aviv takes place in a situation where the ceasefire negotiations are in the shadow of rejection. American President Joe Biden’s official plan for a ceasefire in Gaza and exchange of prisoners has been stopped.

The Times of Israel newspaper quoted an official of this regime and wrote: The reason for Tel Aviv’s opposition to this resolution is that The updated version of this document says that the prisoner exchange agreement will lead to a “ceasefire”, while the original version used the term “cessation of hostilities”, which is more temporary in nature. Another reason for opposition is that the updated document states The new prisoner exchange plan is acceptable to Israel. Israel’s representation in the United Nations has also opposed the inclusion of three stages of prisoner exchange in the new document. Finally, Israel opposes the clause of this resolution that rejects “any attempt to make demographic or territorial changes in the Gaza Strip”.

Last week, US President Joe Biden claimed to have presented a new comprehensive plan for a ceasefire in Gaza. Biden said that the first phase of this plan will last for 6 weeks and will include a complete ceasefire and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the populated areas of Gaza. In the next stage, a major plan for the reconstruction of Gaza will be proposed. Biden said he knows that some in Israel, including some in Netanyahu’s cabinet, will oppose the plan.
