Israel refusing to commit to an end of the conflict as part of ceasefire deal: report

Israeli newspaper Haaretz, quoting an unnamed source, says one of the main disputes in the negotiations in Doha is Israel’s refusal to commit to ending its military operations in Gaza after the deal’s second phase, Al Jazeera reports.

The source is reported to have said there would be an attempt to present a promise from the US to pressure Israel to end the fighting, even if Israel did not explicitly agree to it.

The paper said Israel is expected to present a plan to mediators for a military reorganization across the Palestinian enclave. This would include the Philadelphi Corridor, the 14-kilometre long strip of land spanning the border between Gaza and Egypt.
