The breakthrough in the dispute over the Philadelphia Axis: Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar, Egyptian intelligence head Abbas Kamel, and President Biden's envoy Brett McGurk formulated a proposal to Hamas aimed at resolving the dispute over the Philadelphia Axis, as reported by Suliman Maswadeh from Kan 11 news reports. The document is supposed to be forwarded to Hamas - but first, it needs Israel's approval, and the diplomatic level has not yet approved it.
Sources familiar with the details say the matter is still not closed, and discussions are ongoing.
Meanwhile, within the security system, a message was conveyed to the diplomatic level that the IDF will know how to deal with a withdrawal from the Philadelphia Axis in the first stage of the deal (42 days), since Hamas cannot build tunnels in that period.
Ten days ago, IDF forces arrived at the sea in Rafah and captured the entire Philadelphia Axis. In documentation released by the IDF spokesperson, it appears that the forces destroyed a large tunnel in Rafah that led to the axis. The Prime Minister's Office updated this evening that Netanyahu held a profound discussion today on the hostage issue together with the negotiation team and senior security officials. The Prime Minister instructed to dispatch a negotiating team next Thursday, a day after his speech in the US Congress.
