On Tuesday, IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi briefed the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, providing an update on Israel’s oversight of the ceasefire agreement’s implementation.
When asked about the Rafah Crossing, Halevi explained, “The Gazans can exit through the Rafah Crossing into Egypt, but only one way and they cannot return to Gaza. The ISA, using cameras, will closely monitor those who cross the Rafah Crossing into Egypt.”
During the private discussion, Halevi stated that “Iran is deterred and is afraid and understands that it is not protected after the Israeli attack and after Israel took out two main arms – Hamas and Hezbollah.”
His comments about his own readiness to act for many years stirred some reactions. “For 40 years I went to sleep ready for action and prepared for war,” Halevi said, prompting several MKs to respond, “Except for the night of October 6th.”
