Sources in one regional country recently advised officials in another to show flexibility toward Israel and move toward an agreement. According to the report, the intention is not to maintain the deal long-term, but to use it as a maneuver to reduce Israel's alertness while preparations for a broader confrontation continue 'under the radar'.

The details were revealed this morning (Monday) for the first time on the 'This Morning' program on Kan Bet, citing knowledgeable sources. During the dialogue between the parties, a clear recommendation was passed to move toward an agreement with Israel and subsequently violate it, while war preparations continue simultaneously.

According to information from a foreign source, the idea behind the recommendation was to exercise tactical flexibility and advance on a diplomatic track to instill a sense of calm in Israel, while continuing secret preparations for a significant confrontation. The report compared this approach to the conduct of Yahya Sinwar before October 7, when Hamas signaled interest in quiet and a settlement while simultaneously preparing for a surprise attack.

The information was cleared for publication with the approval of the censor after being prohibited for weeks. Due to censorship restrictions, it is not possible at this stage to provide details on the identity of the two countries involved. The concern arising from this information is that a diplomatic agreement, if signed, could be used not only as a tool for settlement but as a means to lower Israel's alert level while the other side continues military preparations.
