Tsahi Hangbi, head of Israel’s Internal Security Council, and the chief of Mossad, Israel’s intelligence agency, both expressed their opposition to the Gaza occupation plan at the war cabinet session.
The meeting saw intense divisions and verbal clashes among participants over this proposal. Hangbi warned that implementing this plan would endanger the lives of Israeli captives held in Gaza.
