The American envoy arrives in the occupying state to meet Netanyahu in a sensitive visit

The American envoy and U.S. ambassador to Turkey, Tom Barak, arrived in the occupying state on Monday to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a visit described as sensitive and multifaceted.

Barak will meet with Netanyahu and senior political and security officials amid increasing American pressure to move to the next phase of President Trump's plan in the Gaza Strip, ongoing tensions in Lebanon, and open question marks in the Syrian arena.

Operationally, this visit was described as preparatory for a meeting between Netanyahu and Trump scheduled for the end of the month in Miami, and it was said that in this sense, Barak is not coming "to listen", but to verify the extent of "Israel"'s readiness to move.

Regarding Lebanon and Hezbollah's weapons, Washington expects concrete steps from Beirut, manifested in strengthening the Lebanese army's control in the south, limiting Hezbollah's freedom of movement, and showing readiness to assume security responsibility.

This meeting focuses on Gaza and the transition to the second phase, which is supposed to allow the temporary and fragile ceasefire to pave the way for a secure and permanent security and political arrangement. The model promoted by the United States includes establishing an international stabilization force, under American leadership, that enables the gradual disarmament of Hamas and the formation of an alternative government.

It is said that the international force is under discussion between America and "Israel", especially regarding Turkey's participation, as Barak believes that Turkey should be part of the stabilization force, given its military capabilities and channels of influence in Gaza. In "Israel", this is considered a red line. Politically and security-wise, no entity with ties to Hamas can be considered a stabilization force, and its inclusion in the international framework could undermine the fundamental purpose of this step.
