Former "Mossad" Director: Sisi has thwarted the "temporary displacement" plan for Gazans that was devised by "Israel"

Yossi Cohen, the former head of the intelligence agency (Mossad), revealed in his recently published Hebrew book titled: 'With Deceptions, You Make War for Yourself', that he is the author of a plan to evacuate Palestinians from the Gaza Strip during the current war.

Cohen claims that his idea is not about permanent displacement, but 'temporary', explaining that its goal was to reduce civilian casualties.

Cohen reveals, in the part published in an extensive reading by the newspaper 'Asharq Al-Awsat', that he was the author of a plan to relocate about one and a half million Palestinians from Gaza to the Egyptian Sinai, in response to the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023.

He states that 'the cabinet approved the plan', and tasked him with convincing Arab countries of it.

Indeed, Cohen traveled to Arab capitals, but found that Arabs feared that the 'temporary' relocation would turn into permanent displacement.

At that point, Cohen expressed his willingness to bring international guarantees that the migration would be temporary, and established contacts in this regard with the United States, Britain, Japan, China, and India.

However, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi decisively rejected the plan.

Despite Cohen's repeated emphasis on the necessity for occupying leaders to possess humility, he simultaneously seems to repeat the mistakes of arrogance.

Instead of criticizing the atrocities against Gazans, Cohen sees the problem as stemming from a failure of propaganda, considering that the occupying government does not devote enough effort to present the facts.

Cohen ignores in this context that the occupation has enormous influence in foreign media, as well as the fact that many Jews have joined protests against the actions of the occupation.

Cohen goes further, expressing his belief that leaders are distancing themselves from the people and lack human feelings and compassion towards the citizens of the occupation themselves, which makes them unable to present the reality of suffering to global public opinion, leaving the world susceptible to Hamas's propaganda.

Cohen discusses the methods of operation of the 'Mossad' and ways to recruit agents, noting that he played the role of an 'antiquities expert' in Baalbek, Lebanon, and a 'tea bag collector' in front of a Lebanese tea merchant in Sudan.

He reveals that the methods of the occupying intelligence to recruit agents rely on searching for human weaknesses and exploiting deviant behaviors, as well as seeking interests (financial, ideological, sexual, and others).

Cohen asserts that the 'Mossad' is the most important project for international cooperation, citing many countries that are 'indebted' to the Mossad for uncovering terrorist operations and cells in Belgium, Australia, and elsewhere, including Turkey despite the poor relations with it.

Cohen concludes by indicating his endeavor to present himself as the best candidate for leading the government, affirming: 'A strong leader is one who makes concessions', linking peace with the necessity of 'showing strength'.
