IDF preparing plan to return to Gaza fighting, depending on Iran ceasefire deal
A security source told Walla that signing a last-minute agreement with the Ayatollahs' regime could bring Israel closer to resuming fighting against Hamas in Gaza.
Assessment
The IDF is signaling readiness to resume combat in Gaza, but the timing now hinges on whether a ceasefire with Iran is finalized. This linkage suggests that Israel's military strategy in Gaza is being subordinated to broader regional diplomatic calculations. If the Iran deal collapses, Gaza operations may be delayed or deprioritized. The key variable to watch is whether the Iran agreement materializes and how quickly after that the IDF moves back into Gaza.
