How could Golan incident impact war in Gaza, Lebanon?
An Egyptian official said the deadly strike in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights could give urgency to the negotiations to reach a cease-fire deal in Gaza, which would be reflected on the Israeli-Hezbollah front.
He said mediators will use such an attack to press for a cease-fire in Gaza to avoid an all-out war in the region.
“Both fronts are connected,” he said. “A cease-fire in Gaza will lead to a cease-fire with Hezbollah.”
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to discuss the sensitive talks with the media.
Officials from the United States, Egypt and Qatar are meeting Sunday with Israeli officials in Rome in the latest push for a cease-fire deal in Gaza.
