Withdrawal From Gaza—What to Expect Next?
Mike Doran and Gadi Taub discuss what will come next in Gaza
Last Thursday, President Biden had a very tense conversation with Prime Minister Netanyahu, demanding, among other things, that the Israelis provide more humanitarian aid to Gazan civilians and take concrete steps to achieve an immediate ceasefire, including by sending an empowered delegation to Cairo to negotiate a hostages-for-prisoners swap with Hamas. Several days later, the Israeli delegation appeared in Cairo to negotiate and, at the same time, the Israel Defense Forces announced the withdrawal of all of their maneuver forces from the Gaza Strip. Many observers speculate that the withdrawal came in response to American pressure. Israeli officials deny that claim, and Netanyahu has promised that an operation to take Rafah will definitely take place—but will it? Mike and Gadi—like everyone else—don’t have clear answers to the question, but they have a number of thoughtful considerations about it.
