The Trump administration aims for a comprehensive agreement to resolutely end the Gaza conflict, as stated by Witkoff. A proposal is being crafted by Qatar and the U.S. for presentation within two weeks. Israeli officials believe while an 'end game' plan with the U.S. may be possible, it is unlikely to satisfy Hamas, thus making it ineffective. The Israeli cabinet's decision to prepare for an offensive in Gaza City will not occur immediately, allowing time for diplomatic efforts, which may influence potential military actions. Netanyahu hinted at pausing military operations for renewed negotiations.
An Israeli official emphasized that while reaching an 'end game' plan between Israel and the U.S. is feasible, it would not be acceptable to Hamas, rendering it meaningless.
Witkoff stated that the Trump administration is seeking an 'all or nothing' approach to end the war rather than a piecemeal solution.
Israeli Minister Ron Dermer indicated that an 'End Game' proposal will soon be presented by the Trump administration, as part of preparations for a new offensive plan.
Despite cabinet directives for military action in Gaza, a senior Israeli official noted that the timetable for such operations is not fixed, allowing for potential diplomatic resolutions.
