Israeli war minister concerned about Iran, Hezbollah retaliation

Tehran, IRNA- Israel’s Minister of War, Yoav Gallant has expressed fear that the probability of retaliatory by Iran and Hezbollah against the regime’s target will increase in case of the failure to a Gaza ceasefire agreement.

According to the Palestinian Samaa news agency, Channel 12 of the Zionist regime reported on Monday that Gallant had asked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to present a draft on agreement with the Palestinian resistance to the cabinet.

Gallant has always accused Netanyahu of trying to advance his own policies regarding the continuation of the war on the Gaza Strip and preventing a ceasefire.

The statement of the Minister of War comes at a time when negotiations for a ceasefire in Gaza are to be resumed in Cairo later this week and Antony Blinken, the US Secretary of State, who is in the region, also announced this country's plan for a ceasefire.

Although Palestinians have rejected the plan unveiled by Blinken as an obvious US bias toward the Zionist regime.

The Hebrew language Israeli daily, Yediot Aharnot also published a report and said the situation remains very complicated and sensitive, and if Netanyahu does not agree, no agreement will be reached.

The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas had earlier announced its readiness to implement the ceasefire base on proposals laid out by US President Joe Biden in May instead of debating new ones.

Qatar, Egypt and the United States are mediating ceasefire negotiations but their talks ended without a breakthrough on Friday, which Hamas blamed on Netanyahu.

The Palestinian resistance movement says the Israeli prime minister is creating obstacles to the ceasefire deal by setting new conditions.

Meanwhile, Benny Gantz, a former member of the Zionist war cabinet, admitted in a statement that this regime had not faced a disaster like the Al-Aqsa Storm since its creation.

We are not able to carry out our missions both in terms of knowledge and in terms of anti-Hamas operations, Gantz said as reported by the Zionist regime's i24 website on Tuesday morning. He was referring to the failure of the regime's intelligence about the October 7 operation launched by the Palestinian resistance groups in retaliation for the Israeli atrocities.

He said Hamas must be pressurized to release the captives but warned against the repetition of what has happened in the Gaza Strip to the northern occupied territories.

Gantz also stated that Benjamin Netanyahu should implement the potential agreement with Hamas not by words but by actions to allow the return of the captives held in Gaza.
