Restrictions on Gaza Targeted Killings Require Zahmer's Approval
The Israeli army has imposed strict restrictions on the policy of assassinations in Gaza, whereby executing any targeted operation now requires prior direct approval from the Chief of Staff, Eyal Zamir, instead of field commanders or regional leaders. This change aims to limit operations and ease tensions. The move comes amid American pressure to halt attacks for 14 days in preparation for implementing the second phase of the peace plan in Gaza. This involves restricting operations targeting individuals who do not pose an immediate threat, with a significant decrease in airstrikes in recent days. Additionally, disagreements over the timing of Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and linking it to disarmament are fueling tensions. Israel refuses to complete disarmament before a full withdrawal, which hampers the implementation of the second phase of the peace plan. Palestinian and American calls are growing for a halt to operations and the start of operational understandings.
