Bibi's Rafah Retreat Plan Hits Hamas Wall

Israel has agreed to a partial and staggered withdrawal from the Al-Mawasi corridor, enabling the establishment of a humanitarian city in the former Rafah area, though slightly smaller than initially planned. For Prime Minister Netanyahu, this is a non-negotiable condition seen as key to decisively ending the war, framing the move as a tactical retreat. According to military analyst Amit Segal, This is precisely why Hamas rejects even this proposal. For Hamas, creating an area free of its control is a precursor to defeat and destruction.As a result, there has been no real progress on this issue.
