, ‘[Herald Economy=Reporter Kim Bitna]’, Amid the announcement of a daytime ceasefire by the Israeli military in the southern Gaza Strip, an analysis emerged that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu knew about this fact first but pretended not to know. It is pointed out that Netanyahu is in a difficult situation, unable to push for war while facing pressure from both his cabinet to escalate the conflict and international pressure to stop the war.,
,
, ‘On the 16th (local time), the US daily New York Times (NYT) reported, citing experts, that “Prime Minister Netanyahu would have approved the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) ceasefire plan.”‘,
,
, ‘Earlier, the IDF announced through social media services that it would strategically cease military operations from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily until further notice, citing “humanitarian purposes.” The area identified by the IDF as the ceasefire zone extends from southern Kerem Shalom to some parts of southern Gaza. The IDF stated that this decision was made to increase the amount of aid to Gaza after discussions with the UN and international organizations.’,
,
, ‘Following the IDF announcement, the Prime Minister’s Office refuted the claim. An official from the Prime Minister’s Office stated, “After the news report about the ceasefire plan, Prime Minister Netanyahu expressed his rejection to the Defense Secretary.”‘,
,
, ‘In response to these developments, the NYT expressed doubts, stating that “it became even more strange when Netanyahu said he knew about the army’s plan through the news.”‘,

,
, ‘Experts claimed that Netanyahu was behind the IDF’s decision. Military analyst Amos Harel stated, “This is a typical Bibi (Netanyahu’s nickname) style,” and added, “He needed to show that he was doing more to receive US aid, and he could deny to the Israeli people with the excuse of ‘I didn’t know’.”‘,
,
, ‘The Times of Israel (TOI) also reported that “the IDF stated that their decision to allow the safe passage of convoys to increase aid was in accordance with Prime Minister Netanyahu’s instructions.”‘,
,
, ‘Netanyahu’s covert actions are interpreted as being conscious of the hardline Israeli politics. The Israeli far-right has been demanding continued combat in the Gaza Strip and a tough stance against Hamas. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich criticized the IDF ceasefire as “a delusional announcement” and said, “Hamas is maintaining power through humanitarian aid, and such a decision can turn the results of the war into foam.”‘,

,
, ‘On the same day, the Israeli military targeted and bombed the Al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza in the evening. According to AP, the attack resulted in the deaths of 9 people, including 5 children.’,
