Israeli journalists and analysts in Hebrew media focused on what they considered to be American pressure to accept a deal that would allow a long and expanded truce. They also discussed the talk of British and American officials about their country’s intention to recognize a Palestinian state.

In this context, Zvika Gogel, Chairman of the National Security Committee in the Israeli Knesset, commented in an interview with Channel 12, saying: We are not under the British Mandate and we are not the 51st star on the American flag. We are in the State of Israel that was granted to the Jewish people.

He continued: “Everything that (US President Joe) Biden says today and everything that (British Foreign Minister David) Cameron says constitutes a threat to the existence of a Jewish state in the Land of Israel... We will continue to ensure that the State of Israel does what is good for it and not what is good for the elections.” "Biden."

While Suleiman Maswad, political affairs correspondent for Kan 11, said: Biden has a plan for the actual next day, based on an initiative to establish a demilitarized Palestinian state without Hamas, and the establishment of an alliance with Saudi Arabia that includes normalization with Israel, and a military response against Iran and its agents.

Netanyahu with two legs

Yoav Krakowski, head of the channel's political desk, also conveyed the assessment of senior officials in the government coalition that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's destination is to conclude a deal. He added: Netanyahu now has two legs, one of which is partisan and the other concerns international politics, which is influenced by American pressure.

Krakowski continues that the assessment within the government coalition is that Netanyahu will proceed with a prisoner exchange deal and perhaps a long ceasefire, in order to satisfy the Americans.

While the channel's journalist, Eliel Shahar, reported that a political source informed her that these negotiations would take several weeks, pointing out that there was still disagreement about the number of prisoners who would be released and their identity, and that resolving this would take many weeks.

In another context, Nir Dvori, a military affairs correspondent for Channel 12, said that the security leadership, including the commanders of the army and the Shin Bet, announced that they bear responsibility for what happened on the seventh of last October, and that they will resign, but as long as the war continues, this will not happen. It's happening soon, but it's an important point for the future.

The mother of one of the soldiers killed in those events held the State of Israel responsible for what happened to her son and said: “I accuse the state and do not accuse Hamas, and I know many fathers and mothers who feel the same way. We did not expect Hamas to love our children or defend them. We sent them.” Our children to serve in the army.”

While the father of the murdered soldier believes that Netanyahu’s resignation in this context will not be enough, he must be tried and sent to prison because of this failure, adding: “We did not lose millions of dollars, we lost our lives.”
