The Israeli army withdrew on Sunday from a key corridor that distributed Gaza’s belt, leaving almost the entire territory in the north, as a heavy coast with Hamas on the eve of the negotiating agreement.
The departure of the army from Netzarim’s corridor in Gaza came as the Israeli government sent a delegation to Qatar over the weekend to discuss the next group of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners to be released during the initial stage of the Moon Agreement and is ongoing.
The performances of three of Israel’s hostages that were published on Saturday, who were engaged in the public comparison Holocaust victims, prompted a new pressure on negotiations.
In a statement on Sunday, the Israeli army said the troops “conducted an agreement” to leave the corridor and allow hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to continue returning home to northern Gaza.
Two Israeli military officials and a soldier in Gaza who were not authorized to discuss the situation publicly or said that the troops had already left the Netzarim corridor until Sunday morning.
Hamas also said that the Israeli troops left the zone, saying that it was “a victory for the will of our people.”
The withdrawal on Sunday from the hallway means that the presence of Israeli troops in Gaza is mostly limited to a small slider of the earth in southern Gaza, near the Egyptian border, and a tampon zone along the Israeli border.
The Gaza Interior Ministry has warned Palestinians who headed north on Sunday that their vehicles can still be Viewed by foreign security contractor there to prevent weapons from south.
“We invite citizens to be careful and adhere to movements to the currently allowed mechanism for their safety,” the Ministry of the Interior said in a statement.
The Israeli army ordered the massive evacuation of the northern gauze in the early days of the war and patrol the hallway, partly to prevent the Palestinians from returning. The Israeli troops have already partly withdrawn from Netzarim Corridor last month, leaving foreign performers to fill in the void.
Their complete withdrawal from the corridor was needed in the first 42-day phase of the interruption agreement-which is now halfway through the next phase to fully end the war in Gaza.
Significant new traps to reach an agreement for the next phase – which could include a completely Israeli military withdrawal from all gauze – they appeared during last week, however, after President Trump said that The United States could take over Gaza And turn it into a “Rivera of the Middle East” by moving its Palestinian residents.
On Sunday, the Saudi Arabia Ministry rejected the proposal again, repeating that a permanent peace agreement could not be reached without creating a sovereign Palestinian state – a diplomatic goal for generations, but the one who is the one who Officers and experts now say Probably everything is just impossible to achieve.
The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Sunday that it would host an emergency Arab summit at the end of this month in Cairo “to solve new and dangerous events in Palestinian things”, noting that the meeting was coordinated with high -level officials in Arab countries and was scheduled for request Palestinian officials.
AND A deleted look Of the three Israeli hostages that Hamas released on Saturday also encouraged a wide concern in Israel that his Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu did not act fast enough to secure their or other people’s release – increasing the pressure on the Israeli government to bring the rest of the prisoners the second phase of the agreement.
On Sunday are the Alon Ohel family, one of the hostages still held, in a statement published by a group of prisoners who have first been given in more than 490 days since they took away the news that the word was alive and that they were alive and kept him in tunnels in Gaza along with some people who were recently released. In a statement, she demanded that Israeli leaders “take the necessary humanitarian steps to save Alona and other victims from hell they are experiencing.”
“Time is expulsion,” the statement added. “The second phase of the agreement must be advanced to bring all hostage back hostage.”
However, despite the presence of a negotiator and intermediary this weekend in Qatar, in conversations on the next stage, he did not expect progress, until Mr. Netanyahu in the coming days he matured the meeting of his best security officers.
In an interview on Saturday in Washington, where he met with Trump’s administration, Mr. Netanyahu said he was Hamas, not him, to blame for the conditions of the hostage. He predicted that at least half a dozen would be announced by the end of next week.
“We have three goals of war in Gaza,” Mr. Netanyahu said in Interview with Fox News. “One, destroy Hamas’ military and control ability. Two, take out all hostages. Three, make sure Gaza never represents the threat to Israel again. And I am dedicated to achieving all three.”
Even while the Israeli troops left the key corridor in Gaza, occasionally violence continued. Mahmoud Basal, a spokesman for the Civil Protection Agency in Gaza, which does not distinguish civilians and fighters, said three people were killed, and several wounded Israeli shooting in the eastern city of Gaza and warned residents to keep away from the Israeli border and army.
The Israeli army announced on Sunday that his soldiers shot several suspects in the northern Gaza lane that were “several hundred meters” from them, noting that the soldiers had fired a warning. “Hits have been established,” the army said, without providing information about any victims.
Matan Weitz, a spokesman for Kibbutz Nahal Oz, an Israeli border community, said Israeli soldiers were stationed near the village of Obod and people moving in the forbidden area and that the soldiers fired them.
“We have heard the shooting from Kibbutz,” he said, noting that a military activity was enhanced immediately afterwards, including tanks and vehicles.
Israeli Defense Minister, Israel Katz, said on Sunday in a statement that there would be a “zero tolerance” for the threats of soldiers or Israeli communities near the border.
Mr. Netanyahu, addressing the lawyers in Israel on Sunday after his return from Washington, also mentioned the episode on the border. “No one reaches the perimeter fence or enters it,” he said.
Separately, the Israeli army said on Sunday that his soldiers fired a ship’s warning after the Israeli Navy noticed a suspicious vessel “violating security restrictions in the naval area of Gaza tape”; It said the fruit was distanced in response.
The Israeli army also retained raids and patrols on the occupied west coast, which he says they are aimed at exploiting militants before potential attacks. “We will continue to invest very, very strong offensive efforts” on the west coast, Lieutenant Herzi Halevi, the military chief of the staff chief, said Sunday.
Palestinian health officers said there that at least two people, including a woman who was a pregnant eight months, were killed at the Nour Al-Shams refugee camp in Tulkarm. The Israeli army said his police unit for a criminal investigation had started an investigation.
