What is the point of Israel's delay in responding to the latest cease-fire proposal, and its statement that it is preparing to expand its military operation against Hamas in Gaza City and promote the transfer of Gaza residents to the south?

Egyptian Foreign Minister Abdulati recently met with visiting Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed, who said that Israel has not yet responded to the latest proposal of the ceasefire plan.

The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) has issued a statement on August 18 saying that several Palestinian factions, including Hamas, have announced their agreement to the latest proposal of Egypt and Qatar, mediators of the ceasefire negotiations in the Gaza Strip, on the ceasefire plan.

Egyptian Foreign Minister Abdel Ati said that Israel has not responded positively to the ceasefire proposal, and the mediator will continue to pressure Israel until it accepts the latest proposal for a ceasefire.

Niu Xinchun, Executive Dean of China Institute of Arab States, Ningxia UniversityIn an interview with a reporter from China Central Radio and Television Global Information Broadcasting, it was analyzed that Israel adopted delaying tactics in ceasefire negotiations.

• The mediator, the international community and Israel have exerted strong pressure on the Israeli government, believing that this is a good opportunity to cease fire, because the temporary ceasefire agreement Hamas has now agreed to is better than the plan proposed by U.S. Special Envoy for the Middle East Witkov on August 6.
• The Israeli government has so far not publicly rejected the plan and has not negotiated.
• Israel recently proposed a package solution to the issues of detainees and ceasefire. The plan required Hamas to disarm and not participate in the post-war management of Gaza. Only on this premise did Israel agree to completely end the war.
• But the plan Hamas agreed to was a temporary, phased cease-fire, in which it agreed to release only half of its detainees in exchange for a 60-day Israeli cease-fire, within which a permanent cease-fire would be negotiated.
• There is a big gap between Hamas and Israel on the ceasefire issue. Israel is currently adopting a delaying policy and hoping to use military advantage to achieve its own demands.

On August 28, local time, the Israel Defense Forces and the "Office for the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territory" of the Israeli Ministry of Defense, which coordinates the delivery of aid to the Gaza Strip, issued a joint statement saying that Israel is preparing to expand its military operations against Hamas in Gaza City and will promote the transfer of Gaza residents to the south in the process.

Egypt's Foreign Minister Abdulahati said Egypt and Qatar unanimously opposed plans to force Palestinians to other regions.The two countries stressed that forcing Palestinians to migrate is a red line and the two sides will not allow this to happen, while urging the international community to push for a ceasefire in Gaza and alleviate the local hunger problem.

The mediator emphasized the red line with concerns about the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip as well as concerns about the settlement of Palestinians.

• The plan to relocate Palestinians was first proposed by US President Trump to move more than 2 million people out of Palestine, but no neighboring Arab country is willing to accept it. Israel and the United States even sought some countries in North Africa and Asia, but none of them were willing to accept them.
• The plan was revived because of the prospect of a future Israeli occupation of the entire Gaza Strip. Israel's right-wing government has proposed to allow Palestinians to emigrate voluntarily, because if Israel forcibly relocated Palestinians, it would seriously violate international law, violate the basic human rights of Palestinians, and cause unrest in neighboring countries such as Egypt and Jordan.
• Egypt is now vigilant and fears that if a massive war breaks out in Gaza, more than a million people will cross the border between Gaza and Egypt and flee to Egypt.
