Brussels - Gaza: Europe and the Arabs
The remaining Hamas leaders are expected to be exiled to other countries, in parallel with the release of the hostages, according to the newspaper "Israel Hayom."
According to what was published by the European news network in Brussels, "Euronews," on Friday morning, the Hebrew newspaper "Israel Hayom" revealed a four-way phone conversation that took place immediately after the US attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, bringing together US President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer.
According to a source familiar with the content of the discussion, the four leaders expressed "great euphoria" over the results of the airstrike carried out by US B-2 bombers, which was described as successful on the military and political levels. However, the satisfaction was not limited to the operational aspect, but extended to what the newspaper described as "strategic planning for the post-war future." Ending the War in Gaza Within Two Weeks
The source indicated that Trump and Netanyahu agreed to accelerate the implementation of a comprehensive plan that would begin by ending the war in Gaza within two weeks. The terms for ending the fighting would include the deployment of a quartet of Arab governments for the Gaza Strip, including Egypt, the UAE, and two other Arab countries, to replace Hamas.
The remaining Hamas leaders are expected to be exiled to other countries, in parallel with the release of the hostages. According to the agreement, the doors to "voluntary migration" will also be opened for Gaza residents to various countries around the world.
A Comprehensive Settlement and Expanded Normalization
The plan also includes expanding the Abraham Accords to include countries such as Syria, Saudi Arabia, and additional Arab and Islamic countries, while recognizing Israel and normalizing diplomatic relations. Within this framework, the Hebrew state will also declare its willingness to accept the principle of a "two-state solution" to resolve the Palestinian conflict, provided that the Palestinian Authority undertakes fundamental reforms.
The United States, for its part, has pledged to recognize the partial application of Israeli sovereignty over areas in the West Bank. US Pressure on Netanyahu and Trial Postponement
The newspaper quoted diplomatic sources as saying that President Trump exerted strong pressure on Netanyahu to end the military operations in Gaza. This pressure began even before the launch of Operation Rising Lion and was renewed immediately after its conclusion. However, another source denied knowledge of the existence of this pressure.
In a related context, the newspaper reported that the potential failure of the plan prompted Trump to express intense anger over the recent Israeli strikes on Iran, despite his announcement of a ceasefire with Tehran. During his call with Netanyahu, he expressed his displeasure at "the disruption of the agreed-upon strategic peace framework because of a simple Iranian missile," as he put it.
It appears that this insistence on the plan's success is what prompted Trump to issue a striking statement about Netanyahu's trial and his call for the Israeli judiciary to pardon him. He had previously discussed the matter with Netanyahu personally and, according to the newspaper, aspired to "free him politically" so he could devote himself to implementing his "grand peace vision." Accordingly, Netanyahu's court testimony was postponed to a later date.
