GAZA STRIP \u2013<\/strong> According to a report by Al Arabiya on Friday, the IDF is preparing to take control of up to 75% of the Gaza Strip within a three-month timeline. The plan, dubbed the \u201cRafah Model,\u201d involves large-scale military operations, sectoral division of the territory, and long-term \u201ccleansing\u201d phases in each secured area.<\/p>\n

Multi-Front Operation With Five Core Forces<\/strong>
\nThe operation is expected to involve five major military elements, four offensive divisions, and one defensive division. Each captured zone will follow the Rafah sequence\u2014conquest, isolation, and intensive clearing operations. The plan leaves room for a temporary pause if progress is made in hostage release negotiations.

Diplomatic Freeze: Netanyahu Recalls Doha Delegation<\/strong>
\nThe report comes as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the recall of Israel\u2019s delegation from Qatar, citing a \u201cdeadlock in talks with Hamas.\u201d According to Netanyahu, Hamas has demanded U.S. guarantees for a complete end to the war\u2014a condition Israel refuses to accept.<\/p>\n

Israel Open to Renewed Negotiations\u2014Under Conditions<\/strong>
\nDespite the freeze, Israeli officials say they are willing to return to negotiations in Doha if Hamas accepts a U.S.-brokered proposal by Steve Witkoff, which calls for the release of half of the living hostages, a temporary ceasefire, and an agreement to continue negotiating the terms of ending the war.
