Netanyahu directs the army to suspend military operations fearing 'undesirable involvement' during his meeting with Trump

Hebrew media said on Monday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu directed the army to suspend military operations until his return from the United States, fearing "undesirable involvement" during his meeting with US President Donald Trump.

On Sunday evening, Netanyahu arrived in the American state of Florida for a visit that the official Israeli Broadcasting Corporation said lasts 5 days.

The political leadership directed the Israeli army to suspend some military operations until Netanyahu's return from his visit to the United States.

And it explained: "This decision stems from fears of undesirable involvement during Netanyahu's meeting with President Trump in Florida".

And the corporation continued: "On Wednesday, a reserve officer was injured due to the explosion of an explosive device in Rafah, and regardless of Netanyahu's comment in English, Israel did not respond to the incident".

At the time, Netanyahu accused the Hamas movement of being behind the explosion in a post in English on the American company "X" platform.

And he said then: "Hamas' open and continuous refusal to disarm is a blatant and ongoing violation, and its violent intentions and violations were confirmed today by its detonation of an explosive device that resulted in the injury of an officer in the Israeli army, and Israel will respond accordingly".

And earlier on Monday, the US President received Netanyahu at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

And on September 29 last year, Trump announced a peace plan and ceasefire in Gaza consisting of 20 points, including: the release of Israeli prisoners, ceasefire, disarmament of Hamas, Israel's withdrawal from the sector, formation of a technocratic government, and deployment of an international stabilization force.

And on October 10 last year, the first phase of the ceasefire agreement came into effect, while Israel violates its terms and delays moving to the second phase.

And the agreement was supposed to end the genocide committed by Tel Aviv over two years starting from October 8, 2023, which resulted in about 71,000 Palestinian deaths and more than 171,000 injured, most of them children and women, but Israel continues its violations and suffocating siege on the sector to this day.
