    Mahjoob Zweiri “What we have witnessed in the past few hours is that they talk about an agreement on the first stage. It could be understood that Hamas wants to release itself from the pressure globally, including the United States. So, they are giving concessions on the first stage, which leads to 40 days of ceasefire and exchange of captives. I think 33 old and sick captives. And then moving on to other stages. But we are seeing that we are going back to the main conditions, which means we are still talking about the main principles [complete ceasefire and withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza] that Hamas talked about. As the time of some sort of agreement on the first stage came, the Israeli military and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came to say actually, there is no agreement: We will go to Rafah regardless of any agreement. It reflects the divisions within the Israelis and crisis within the Israeli politics. On the other hand, Hamas has been more cautious. They do not want to show real progress made but they also do not want to say things have not changed. I think it's obvious some change has happened otherwise we would not expect [CIA chief] William Burns to be in the region.” 11 hours ago

The IPSEs are presented in chronological order based on when the IPSEs have been pronounced.

“Haftar needs Wagner. Furthermore, while he's hosting them in Libya, [Wagner] can use its position to prop up operations in Syria, Sudan and elsewhere. It's a network. It's not just military support, either. They're using their position in eastern Libya to transport [illegal narcotic] Captagon from Syria, shift gold to evade sanctions, as well as help traffic migrants from southern Africa and as far away as Bangladesh. Libya is a hugely profitable area for Wagner.”

“Urban warfare has its own logic, it's harmful both to civilian infrastructure and to people, so even if it isn't a long war, this conflict will be very destructive as we have already seen. The fighting could strengthen Haftar and those close to him. They stand to benefit from western Libya divisions and have a better negotiating position once the dust settles.”

“Does Dbaiba, as the Minister of Defense and Prime Minister know that Tripoli is in danger? That the fuse of war in it is about to erupt, and that there are mourning tents that will be erected in its streets? The reason for the war is not an attack by Haftar's army, as he claimed and marketed previously, but because of his failed policies, his adherence to power, and the failure to fulfil his pledges. I ask God to protect our civilians in Tripoli and to take revenge on all those who are still paying the militias and mercenaries who terrorize the people at all times.”

“The initiative that al-Sarraj signed is for media marketing. There is a military build-up and the transfer of equipment to target our forces in Sirte. If al-Sarraj wanted a ceasefire, he would have drawn his forces back, not advanced towards our units in Sirte.”

“I think this is the first time in the entire Libyan conflict whereby we have military stalemate, the military dynamics are equal. This time as a result of Turkish intervention, the western side, the GNA ... has enough power to prevent Haftar from marching westwards. This ceasefire has a very good chance of lasting because the cost of a potential battle is so high and if an individual faction decides to launch a battle by itself it would find itself obliterated. Now, we are seeing a new phase in the negotiations between Turkey and the other foreign powers. All the dynamics suggest that all the foreign powers prefer some sort of peace at least for the foreseeable future.”

“The government's military commanders say they are trying to recapture a military camp in southern Tripoli, which has been under the control of Haftar's forces for the past few months. Haftar's troops have been using that camp to fire rockets into residential areas and the airport”

“There was no political support from Italy at the time Tripoli war broke. In November 2019, Haftar's offensive nearly collapsed Tripoli and at that time, Italian political leaders started discussions with Haftar.”
