Israeli Defense Minister Sets Precedent of Unreliability in Ceasefire
According to the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency and Al Jazeera, Yisrael Katz, Israel’s Minister of War, stated that after securing the release of Israeli prisoners, the primary challenge for his regime will be the direct destruction of all Hamas tunnels in Gaza.
Katz said he has instructed the military to prepare for a mission to demolish Hamas tunnels once Israel’s captives have been returned.
He sought to justify statements contradicting efforts toward a ceasefire in Gaza by claiming that destroying Hamas’s tunnels is part of implementing an agreed-upon principle aimed at disarming Hamas and stripping its military capabilities.
This assertion comes despite Hamas rejecting any clause related to disarming its resistance factions.Any attack on Gaza under the pretext of tunnel demolition would also constitute a clear violation of the ceasefire agreement.
