Israel Rejects Safe Passage To Allow Terrorists To Return to Hamas-Controlled Gaza
Hamas Terrorists on Israeli Side of ‘Yellow Line’: Israel will not grant safe passage to an estimated 200 Hamas terrorists currently positioned behind the “yellow line” in IDF-controlled areas of the Gaza Strip, an Israeli official stated on November 3. The clarification came in response to condemnation by Israeli lawmakers of earlier media reports that Israel would consider granting the terrorists — believed to be hiding in tunnels mostly in southern Gaza — safe passage to Hamas-controlled parts of Gaza if they surrender their weapons and release additional bodies of slain Israeli hostages. Israeli media reported that the United States is pressuring Israel to permit the exchange in the hope that doing so will allow the Trump administration’s 20-point plan for Gaza to progress into subsequent stages.
