Israeli cabinet orders to halt offensive in Gaza

TEHRAN, Oct. 4 (MNA) – The Israeli cabinet has given instructions to the IDF to stop its offensive aimed at seizing Gaza City, the Israeli Army Radio said.

According to the report, the order was issued following consultations and contacts with the US authorities that followed Hamas’s consent to US President Donald Trump’s plan.

Currently, the IDF’s operations in Gaza are "reduced to minimum" and limited to defensive actions, it claimed, TASS reported.

Earlier, Trump published the English-language response from Hamas to his proposals on Gaza. In it, the Resistance movement say they are ready to release all Israeli captives held in the enclave and to hand over the bodies of the dead. The movement "affirms its readiness to immediately enter, through the mediators, into negotiations to discuss the details."

The movement also confirmed that it was ready "to hand over the administration of the Gaza Strip to a Palestinian body of independents (technocrats) based on Palestinian national consensus and supported by Arab and Islamic backing." At the same time, the Hamas said that "as for other issues included in President Trump’s proposal concerning the future of the Gaza Strip and the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, this is tied to a collective national position. Hamas believes that it would require a "comprehensive Palestinian national framework, in which it will be included and will contribute with full responsibility."

On September 29, the White House unveiled the US president’s "comprehensive plan" to resolve the Gaza conflict, consisting of 20 points. The proposal includes temporary external administration of the enclave and the deployment of international stabilization forces. Israel has voiced its support for the plan.
