Israel drafts cautious text for winding up Gaza campaign
A carefully worded Israeli text for ending its Gaza campaign is vitally important because no ceasefire deal with Hamas and Islamic Jihad is expected, DEBKAfile reports. Government and military officials were drafting the text on Thursday ahead of the release of a unilateral announcement in a day or two that the operation is over. This text will need to clearly spell out the circumstances under which the IDF will resume its Gaza operations and leave no room for doubt of its resolve.
