The agreement on the interruption of the fire between Israel and Hamas looked trembling since it came into force on January 19th, but now it looks closest to that has still been completely falling apart.
The older Egyptian source told the BBC that regional intermediaries of Egypt and Qatar “intensified their diplomatic efforts in an attempt to rescue an agreement on the dealership.”
The delegation of the highest level Hamas has arrived in Cairo for conversations “to contain the current crisis,” Hamas officer for the BBC told. He repeated the “complete commitment” to his groups of the terms of the agreement.
On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said: “If Hamas does not return our hostage by Saturday noon, the break will end and [Israeli military] Intense fighting will continue. “
However, there were mixed messages about whether all 76 hostages still mean in Gaza – in accordance with the ultimatum with high roles recommended by US President Donald Trump.
Trump responded to Hamas’s threat that he would destroy the agreement on Monday.
She complained about Israeli violations of tribute, especially that related to help, and warned that she would delay hostages on Saturday.
In the past week, the president’s new radical plan for the American takeover of Gaza – without his two million Palestinian residents – also changed the context for a truce that his administration helped broker.
So, what else do we know about what was happening behind the scenes?
When it comes to the outcome of the four -hour meeting of Israeli security on Tuesday, Israeli journalists recognized the puzzle because of contradictory and confusing briefings.
After the video message of the Israeli Prime Minister requested the publication of “our” hostages, the first reports – quoting an unnamed high -ranking Israeli official – they said it was about the original three male hostages that were supposed to be released.
It was then said that Israel expects the final nine living hostages planned to release in the six -week first phase of the release ceasefire, which should see a total of 33 prisoners.
Key ministers then started measuring. Miro Regev – a close ally of Netanyahu – said the X decision was “very clear” and echoed Trump’s demand. She said, “By Saturday, everyone will be released!”
The ultimate right of Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Fair – who threatened to leave the Netanyahu coalition if there was no return to the fight at the end of the six -week agreement on the interruption of the fire – he went on.
On social media, he suggested that he tell Hamas to let go hostage or are open “hell doors”, without fuel, water or humanitarian aid by entering Gaza.
He said that the Israeli war aircraft and tanks should be “only fire and stone”, and the tape is completely occupied and its population expelled.
“We have all the international support for that question,” he said.
His comments indicate that Trump’s post -war vision of Gaza strengthened the far right in Israel.
It is said that the Israeli chiefs of security negotiating about the current tribute agreement and believe that his collapse will endanger the life of hostages.
Israeli media reports that they are advocating a way to return the next three prisoners held by Hamas scheduled for the weekend.
The hostages and their supporters are disturbed by the latest achievements, as well as the Gazani war.
The fact that the leader of the Hamas for Gaza, Khalil al-Hayy, leads the delegation that follows the implementation in Cairo, shows that the armed group also tries to return the fire interruption agreement.
From January 19, the agreement recorded a total of 16 Israeli hostages brought home in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. Five Thai agricultural workers were also released.
At the same time, the Israeli troops withdrew only within the rim of gauze, including along the border with Egypt.
Relative peace enabled hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians to return to their neighborhood and lead to an increase in humanitarian aid.
However, the current anniversary stems from Hamas’s claim that Israel has not confirmed its promises for the first phase of the tribute.
He says this required the Israeli authorities to allow about 300,000 tents and 60,000 caravans in Gaza.
With so many people who return to the ruins of their homes – during the cold, wet winter weather – such shelters are desperately needed.
Fuel and generators are also said to be in the absence – especially in north of Gaza – where urgent necessary, especially for water pumps and bakeries.
It is difficult to check exactly what has entered the tape.
According to the data quoted by the UN, “since the truce came into force, 644,000 people across Gaza received assistance at the shelter, including tents, sealed materials and tarpaulins.”
Israeli military body Cogat said Israel “is dedicated and fulfills its obligation to facilitate the entry of 600 trucks for humanitarian aid in the Gaza tape every day.”
He added: “According to the data available to us, since the agreement entered into force, hundreds of thousands of tents entered the Gaza tape.”
Despite the conflicting accounts, it can be assumed that the problems with the help that Israel permitted in Gaza could solve the mediators.
“Kairo and Doha invite all sides to adhere to the terms of the agreement in the midst of political and Polish complexities that make the task more challenging,” said an older Egyptian source for the BBC.
“The continuation of the ceasefire is in the interest of all and we warn that the collapse of the agreement will lead to a new wave of violence with serious regional consequences.”
Even if the immediate crisis can be overcome by this weekend, it will still leave the next stage of the interruption of the interruption of the fire.
The first phase of the agreement should be completed in March unless Hamas and Israel agree with extension. For now, negotiations have been delayed.
The Israeli Prime Minister has delayed the discussions of the next phase due to pressure within his ruling coalition and increasing evidence during the truce that – in contrast to his war goals – Hamas remains a significant political and military force in Gaza.
During the surrender of hostages and distribution of assistance, Hamas sought to project a picture of his own power.
Although he has previously signaled the willingness to share power with other Palestinian fractions, it seems that it is unlikely to disarm.
On top of that, Trump doubled his idea of turning Gaza into a Mediterranean travel destination – after moving those who live there to Jordan and Egypt – he caused shock and anger throughout the Arab world.
Egypt says he has formulated his own comprehensive Gaza renewal plan – which will not include Palestine leaving his country.
The leaders of Egypt, Qatar, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia are expected to be on February 27.
The constant dispute about the future of Gaza adds a confusion and a sense of deep distrust in the midst of effort to deal with the present issues.
