    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.” 8 hours ago

“OPCON transfer is important and should happen in the future. However, there were crucial reasons for the shift to a conditions-based transfer, including the need for Korea to possess the necessary military capabilities and experience for the success of this change. Moreover, on two occasions in the past, the date was set and then canceled, which was a problematic element of the process.”

“I have the impression that the ROK has been working on many things other than its commitments, and that it is unlikely to make the United States very happy or very willing to agree to an OPCON transition, for which the ROK appears to not be prepared. If the OPCON transition is so important, why hasn't the Moon administration funded the capabilities it agreed to fund to become ready for OPCON? The United States has been clear that once the ROK has those capabilities, OPCON transition will be promptly concluded. The ROK is nowhere close to meeting its commitments in 2022.”
