Tel Aviv awaits the decision… The absence of instructions to cease fire keeps the army on high alert

Tel Aviv, Israel – The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation (Kan) reported that the army has not yet received any political instructions regarding preparations for a ceasefire. This reflects the continued operational readiness amidst the ongoing escalation.

Kan explained that the military continues to implement its field plans according to current assessments, without any change to the rules of engagement or the pace of operations, pending any decisions from the political leadership.

It noted that the absence of official directives means all options remain open to the army, whether regarding the continuation of operations or responding to any potential diplomatic initiative, should understandings be reached to de-escalate the situation.

Meanwhile, internal and international pressure is mounting on the Israeli government to push for calming the situation, especially with the widening scope of the tension and growing fears of the region sliding into a broader confrontation.

Observers believe that the final decision regarding a ceasefire will remain contingent on complex political and security calculations, where considerations on the ground intertwine with international pressure, leaving the situation open to several scenarios in the coming period.
