'It's an Israeli interest': Defense Ministry's plan for the future of militia members in Gaza

Israeli security officials have held discussions to ensure the safety of members of Palestinian militias operating for Israel in Gaza, ahead of a possible withdrawal. According to the Peace Council outline, the IDF will withdraw beyond the yellow line as Hamas disarms. The proposed solution, led by the Shin Bet, is to absorb militia members into the new city of 'New Rafah', to be built by the UAE and secured by a multinational force. The city will be 'clean' of Hamas, and those admitted will undergo Israeli security screening. An Israeli official said the first residents should be Hamas opponents, and that is the Israeli interest.

Israeli security officials have recently held discussions aimed at ensuring the safety of members of Palestinian militias operating for Israel in the Gaza Strip, as reported this evening on Kan News. The discussions are taking place ahead of the implementation of the next phase in the Strip, which may include an Israeli withdrawal. According to the Peace Council outline, the IDF will be required to withdraw beyond the yellow line as Hamas disarms. In the area, militias operate under Israeli auspices, whose members scan tunnels, weapons, and terrorist infrastructure. It is clear to all that militia members will not be able to return to Gaza in the future. The solution proposed by security officials, led by the Shin Bet, is to absorb militia members into the city of 'New Rafah', to be built by the UAE and secured by the multinational force. The new city is supposed to be 'clean' of Hamas, and those admitted are expected to undergo Israeli security screening. The Israeli proposal on settling militia members there was conveyed to representatives of the Peace Council. An Israeli official said that the first residents of New Rafah should be those who oppose Hamas. 'It's the Israeli interest,' he explained.
