Israel said on Sunday she supported the proposal to temporarily expand the Trus in Gaza, which is a bridging remedy after the first phase of her ceasefire with Hamas Drew.
The proposal put forward by the Middle East of US President Donald Trump, Steve Witchoff, will cover Ramzan due to the end of March, and Passah, according to a statement by the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office released after midnight, will run through April in mid -April.
The first phase of a ceasefire deal between Israel and Palestinian group Hamas was determined to end in the weekend as the second stage, which is expected to bring a more permanent end in the Gaza war.
The conversation with the lives of the two million Palestinians hanging in the fate and balance of the hostages still held in Gaza has so far been inconclusive.
According to Israeli’s statement, the expansion will still look at half of the hostage in the Gaza released on that day, the day the deal is applied, the rest should be released finally if the agreement has reached a permanent ceasefire.
There was no immediate response to Hamas, which had previously rejected the idea of an expansion.
Whatever Israel described as an American plan, it comes amid a quarrel of warning to resume the war, destroying Gaza after 15 months, displaced almost the entire population of the coastal strip and created a hunger crisis.
United Nations chief Antonio Guterres warned against a “frightening” return in the war and said “it is necessary to prevent the permanent ceasefire and increase in the release of all hostages and to prevent more destructive consequences for citizens”.
The Israeli officials were engaged in a ceasefire conversation with Egypt, Katri and American mediation in Cairo last week. But there was no indication of consensus in early Saturday as Muslims in Gaza shone the first day of Ramadan with colorful lights.
A senior Hamas official told the AFP that the Palestinian terrorist group was prepared to release all the remaining hostages in the same swap during the second phase.
“Hamas will not be happy to pull on one, but it is not really the ability to force Israel to go on stage two,” Max Rodenback told AFP, an analyst at the International Crisis Group.
Hamas mortgage video
Under the six -week ceasefire on January 19, Gaza militants freed 25 living hostages and returned the bodies of eight other people to Israel in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.
The deal reached after months of the horrific dialogue, halting the mass war, which exploded Hamas on October 7, 2023 with an attack on Israel.
While Hamas repeated his “readiness to engage in conversation for his second phase” on several occasions, Israel preferred to secure more mortgage release under the first phase of expansion.
A Palestinian source close to the negotiations told AFP that Israel had proposed to expand the first phase in a week interval with the approach to swaping hostage-prisoners each week, saying that Hamas had rejected the plan.
Of the 251 hostages raised during Hamas’s October 7 attack, 58 hostage are in Gaza, with 34 Israeli army say that they have died.
Hamas’s armed wing released a group of Israeli hostages in Gaza, which was with the message: “Only a ceasefire agreement brings them alive”.
The AFP was unable to verify the video immediately, the latest terrorists have released Gaza prisoners.
Netanyahu’s office called it a “cruel publicity”, but the Israeli campaign group The Hostels and Missing Family forum said the Horn family, two of whom appeared in the video, allowed the footage to publish them.
The Israel-Arrkertonian Yare Horn was released on 15 February, but his brother Eaton remains imprisoned in Gaza.
The family said, “We demand the decision -makers: Look at the food in the eyes. Stop the agreement that has already brought back dozens of hostages,” the family said.
Netanyahu’s coalition concern
Domestic political idea is a factor of reluctance to start Netanyahu’s planned second phase.
Finance Minister Bezelle Smotrich, the leader of the far-flung faction in the governing alliance, has threatened to leave the war again.
“If we can enter phase two, the Israeli government may fall,” said Michael Horovitz, head of Intelligence for Risk Management Consultancy Le Bake International,, the Israeli government may fall. “
Israel has said that it needs to maintain soldiers in a strip of Gaza with the Egyptian border to prevent the smuggling of Hamas.
According to the United Nations, the Trus has enabled more aid flow to the Gaza Strip, where about 70 percent of the buildings were damaged or destroyed, almost the entire population was displaced, and widespread hunger caused by war, according to the United Nations.
The Hamas attack that launched the Gaza war led to 1,218 people, most of the citizens, while Israel’s vengeance killed 48,388 people in Gaza, most of the citizens, most of the citizens, show figures from both sides.
