The Mossad agent’s name is Serkan Cicek. Investigations revealed that Cicek was in contact with Faisal Rashid, a member of Israel’s online operations center. Rashid assigned Cicek a specific task, which involved surveilling a Palestinian activist who opposed Israel’s Middle East policy.

Investigations also showed that Cicek, despite his real name being Muhammed Fatih Keles, changed his name due to significant business debts. After changing his name, he quit his business and founded the Pandora Detective Agency in 2020. Following this, he began working as a private investigator.

During this time, he met Musa Kus and lawyer Tugrulhan Dip. Musa Kus, who is currently in prison for allegedly spying for Israel, helped Cicek and his associates obtain private data from public records. Cicek worked with both Musa Kus and Tugrulhan Dip in his spying activities.

After Cicek became a spy, Mossad agents took notice of him. On July 31, Faisal Rashid contacted Cicek on WhatsApp, posing as an employee of a foreign law firm.

Rashid tasked Cicek with four days of surveillance of a Palestinian activist residing in Basaksehir. In return, Rashid paid him $4,000 in cryptocurrency on August 1. Kus, who is serving a 9-year sentence, Cicek accepted Rashid’s proposal.

This event has raised serious concerns in Turkey. The reason is that Turkey has long supported Hamas and Palestine. If Mossad intensifies its operations in Turkey, there is a risk of chaos in the country.

Some people consider it an eye-opening revelation for President Erdogan. Turkey and Israel have strong trade relations. Israel’s oil and gas also pass through Turkey. Thus, Mossad’s activity in Turkey could also be a cause for concern for this relationship.

However, the plan’s most significant flaw is the absence of a concrete guarantee for Palestinian statehood. Given that even Palestine’s closest Muslim allies are praising this plan, questions arise about whether Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan have inadvertently weakened the core issue of Palestinian statehood.

Trump targeted nations that recently recognized Palestine during a press conference. He stated that many countries mistakenly recognized Palestine. While his 20-point plan mentions the possibility of a Palestinian state, the language is vague.

The proposal suggests that statehood could become a reality when reconstruction in Gaza progresses and when the Palestinian Authority (PA) implements its reform program honestly. In other words, Gaza’s development and PA reforms are tied to conditions, after which statehood might or might not occur. Netanyahu also mentioned that the issue of a Palestinian state wasn’t discussed during his meeting with Trump, and Trump didn’t emphasize it either. This is why the plan appears to overlook the real question of Palestinian statehood.

Interestingly, this plan has also been praised by regional countries that have traditionally supported Palestine. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that he believes the peace will bring political stability and economic development. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also praised Trump’s efforts. Saudi Arabia and other countries’ foreign ministers issued a joint statement praising Trump’s honest efforts and expressing confidence that he could find a path to peace.

Experts believe that the diplomatic strategies of these countries are now more focused on economic stability and relations with the United States. As a result, the core issue of Palestine gets sidelined. In essence, while Trump’s plan to bring peace to Gaza may provide temporary relief by stopping the violence, it does not provide a solid foundation for the dream of a Palestinian state.

Trump’s plan includes an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the release of all hostages, and the formation of an international peace board. Trump will chair this board, which will also include former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

The plan includes:

1. An immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
2. Hamas will release all Israeli hostages within 72 hours.
3. Israel will release 250 people serving life sentences in Gaza and 1700 other prisoners.
4. A plan for the development and reform of Gaza will be created and funded.
5. An international security force will be deployed to maintain security in Gaza.
6. Security on the borders of Israel and Egypt will be strengthened.
7. International organizations will monitor aid and security in Gaza.
8. Talks for peace between Israel and Palestine will begin.

Technical teams immediately took action and recovered the account, according to Eknath Shinde’s office. The account is now fully restored and functioning normally.

The hackers also ran a livestream on the Deputy Chief Minister’s account featuring images of Pakistan and Turkey. This incident occurred on the day India and Pakistan were scheduled to play the second match of the Asia Cup. An official stated that they immediately informed the cyber crime police. The team managing the Deputy CM’s X handle later recovered the account. The recovery process took approximately 30 to 45 minutes.

According to the office, the technical team quickly regained control of the account and restored its security. The account is now fully secure and operating normally. Officials clarified after recovering the account that no sensitive information was leaked from the Deputy CM’s account during the incident.

However, the hacking of the Deputy CM’s account exposes vulnerabilities in cyber security. The posting of Pakistani and Turkish flags on the account caused a commotion among his followers. Sources indicate that the Maharashtra Cyber Cell will now investigate the incident to identify the hackers. Hacking and cybercrime cases are rapidly increasing in India, causing the country to suffer losses of thousands of crores of rupees every year.
