Israel and Hamas are currently in talks with Egypt to discuss moving into the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement. The first phase, which included Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza and the exchange of prisoners, is set to end on March 1st. However, Israel has indicated that they may not adhere to all aspects of the agreement, specifically regarding the Philadelphi Corridor.
Hamas has fulfilled their end of the deal by returning Israeli captives and Israel has released over 600 Palestinian prisoners. Despite these exchanges, there have been allegations of breaches of the ceasefire terms by Israel, including military incursions and delayed aid to Gaza.
The United States is reportedly pushing for an extension of the ceasefire and a summit to discuss Gaza’s future. However, President Trump’s involvement has raised questions about his intentions with the ceasefire and his plan for Gaza.
While the ceasefire has been supported by families of the captives released, it has faced opposition from Israel’s far-right and settler movements. This highlights the political complexities surrounding the agreement and the challenges of maintaining peace in the region.
