In addition to a dedicated earthquake, Israel and Hamas are considering both diplomatic and military capabilities

When an agreement was published in January to break the fire between Israel and Hamas, the Israelis and Palestinians broke into simultaneous celebrations, optimistic after 15 months of war.

Now, with the first phase of the agreement on Sunday and Israel, which presented a brand new proposal that Hamas had already rejected, concerns increase in order to kill the gauze to ruins, to kill tens of thousands of Palestinians and threaten the lives of hostages.

While fires are shaken, both Hamas and Israel follow two trails, one diplomatic and the other army.

At the diplomatic front, Hamas insists on the implementation of the second phase of the original agreement, which requires the end of the war, the completely Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and the release of more hostages and prisoners.

Israel, however, made a new proposal for the seven -week extension of the current interruption of the fire, during which Hamas should release half of the remaining living hostages, as well as the remains of half of the deceased. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah of Israel on Sunday attributed the proposal to the work of the envoy of Trump President, Steve Witkoff.

For weeks, Israel sends signals that he is not interested in progressing with the second phase of the agreement. While the two sides in principle agreed with the second phase, they never worked out the details and threw out irreconcilable visions.

Mr Netanyahu has repeatedly said that the Hamas government and the military wing must be dismantled, the position shared by his right -wing coalition partners in the Government. Hamas suggested that he was ready to give up civilian gauze management, but firmly rejected, dissolving his military wing, a critical source of his power in the enclave.

The new proposal, as Mr. Netanyahu described on Sunday, seems to be an attempt to replace the fire interruption agreement with the conditions that would allow Israel to bring tens of hostages and hostages home without obliging to commit to the end of the war.

But the proposal, analysts said, may be an effort to talk about the cessation of fire in a way that breaks down the deadlock between Israel and Hamas, at least temporarily.

“It’s not really feasible, but it’s an introductory offer,” said Shira Efron, an analyst at the Israeli Policy Forum, a research group based in New York. “This could force the debate to bridge the views of the two sides to extend the interruption of fire in a few weeks or more.”

Still, she said, it does not solve the fundamental differences between Hamas and Israel about the end of the war.

At the Government meeting on Sunday, Mr. Netanyahu said the proposal included a temporary interruption of fire during the Muslim month of Ramadan and the Jewish rest of Passover. Half of the remaining hostages in Gaza, he said, will be returned to Israel at the beginning of a temporary ceasefire, and the other half will be returned at the end, if the agreement on the permanent interruption of the fire is concluded.

In the first phase in the Three -stage Complex Agreement in January, Hamas published 25 of Israel’s hostages and handed over the bodies of eight others in exchange for more than 1,500 Palestinians, which Israel is in prison. But without further planned exchange of hostages and prisoners, Israel will have less incentives to maintain a tribute.

Hamas rejected a new proposal on Sunday as “an obvious attempt to transfer the agreement and avoid negotiations for his second phase.”

Hamas considers the idea to immediately give up half of the hostages no -Starapara, but this could consider the exchange of a small number of hostages or bodies for Palestinian prisoners, even without dedication at the end of the war, analysts said. Hostages represent Hamas’s most powerful influence, and every time he trades Israeli prisoners for Palestinian prisoners, his negotiating hand is weakened.

Two Israeli officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal discussions admitted that Hamas would probably be willing to give up only a small number of hostages or their remains, without guarantees at the end of the war. This dynamics, officials said, could eventually make Israel choose between restarting war to remove Hamas or spare hostages that are still believed to be alive.

About 25 prisoners and the remains of more than 30 others are still in Gaza, according to the Israeli government.

“Israel stands on the horns of the dilemma,” said Yaak’s amidror, a retired Major Major who performed the duty of Mr. Netanyahu’s national security adviser.

On Sunday, Hazem Qassim, a spokesman for Hamas, said that the militant group insisted on a second phase to deal with because he wanted to prevent the continuation of the war and ensure that Israel withdrew from Gaza.

“This is the fundamental position for the Hamas Movement,” he told Qatar Emister Al Jazeera.

Both Israel and Hamas sent negotiators Talk to Egyptian and Qatar Mediators. But even while diplomatic discussions continue, two parties prepare for the possibility of returning to war.

Hamas collects unexploded bombs throughout the gauze and diverts explosives and their metal cases as improvised explosive devices, according to one Qassam Brigade, Hamas military wing, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive details. The militant group also employed new members and replaced the commanders of the killed in the fight, the person said.

Israel He prepared intensely For a new and intense campaign in Gaza, according to Israeli officials. They said that all new operations would include the target of HAMAS officials who tear out supplies to help with civilians, as well as destroying buildings and infrastructure used by the Civil Government Hamas.

Such a plan has not yet approved the Israeli cabinet, the officials said, but they believe that only Mr. Trump could distract Mr. Netanyahu since the restored war.

While Israel and Hamas are struggling around the future of Gaza, Palestinian civilians in the enclave and hostage families are faced with an anxious period of limbs.

“They remain in a state of constant concern,” said Akram Atallah, a Palestinian columnist based in London, originally from Jabaliya in the northern gauze bar. “If the war returns, they lose the most.”
