Proposed Gaza War-End Plan May Offer “Political Compensation” to Israel
Normalization Talks with Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Syria Touted to Sway Far-Right Ministers.
Watan-The Hebrew daily Haaretz reported Tuesday evening that a plan currently under discussion to end the war in the Gaza Strip may include what it described as “political compensation” to Israel, aimed at softening the stance of far-right ministers in Benjamin Netanyahu’s government—who are expected to oppose any deal that entails a cessation of hostilities.
These “political compensations” could encompass:
-
Normalization talks between Israel and Saudi Arabia
-
A similar agreement with Oman
-
A potential historic declaration from Syria to end its state of hostility with Israel
Haaretz—citing unnamed Israeli, American, and Gulf sources—stated:“It is expected that the plan now under discussion to end the war in Gaza will include political compensation for Israel.”
According to these sources, tying such regional moves to a prisoner-hostage swap with Hamas is intended to facilitate cabinet approval—particularly from far-right ministers “who are likely to pressure Netanyahu against endorsing any deal that ends the war.”
As of 15:55 GMT, none of the three involved states (Saudi Arabia, Oman, Syria) nor Hamas had issued any comment on the report.
