Officials in a Middle Eastern country advised officials in another country to reach an agreement with Israel in order to “lull it to sleep,” while simultaneously preparing for a large-scale military confrontation against it, Kan News revealed on Monday morning, citing a foreign source.

According to the report, during talks between the sides, the officials told their counterparts that they should reach an agreement with Israel in order to violate it afterward, while continuing their preparations for war.

Journalist Roi Kais, who presented the report, noted that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar adopted precisely the same approach, lulling Israel to sleep by signaling that he was prepared for “quiet in exchange for quiet,” while at the same time preparing the plans for the October 7 massacre.

The revelation raises troubling questions about whether Israel, in a post-October 7 world, is once again falling for the “conceptzia” of reaching peace with its neighbors.
