Israel removes troops from the key corridor from Gaza under a fragile-Politico ceasefire

Israel withdraws the troops from the corridor which cut northern Gaza from the southern part of the enclave as part of the ceasefire agreement with Hamas, according to the media on Sunday which quoted those responsible on both sides conflict.

The Corridor of Netzarim was created by Israel as a military zone at an early stage of the war against Hamas and prevented the citizens of Gaza displaced in the southern region from returning to the north.

Hamas spokesperson Abdel Latif Al-Qanoua said that the withdrawal proves that the objective of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of a “total victory” is a “illusion”, reported the Associated Press.

Israel has undertaken to release the 6 -kilometer military zone and other areas populated by the Gaza Strip in an agreement concluded last month with Hamas. The agreement provides for the gradual release of the hostages that the militant group captured during its attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. Until now, there have been five exchanges of detainees on the last Saturday.

However, the details of the ceasefire agreement are not entirely public and concerns increase about the will of the two parties to enter the second phase of the agreement, which would include an extension of the ceasefire Le-Feu, the release of all Israeli hostages and a complete Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip. Two hostage families asked the High Israeli Court of Justice to share the content of the agreement at least with the relatives of the prisoners, Haaretz reported.

According to the Israeli point of sale, government representatives publicly declared that they were going to participate in a technical discussion on the second phase of the ceasefire after Netanyahu returns from the United States, while the critics have declared that They did not think that the Prime Minister would continue to implement the truce.

The Israeli army is already carrying out new military operations against Arab citizens in the West Bank. Israeli fires killed two women in Nur Shams on Sunday, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.

The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Sunday that the country would organize an Arab emergency summit to discuss Palestinian issues after the plan of US President Donald Trump to clean the Gaza strip triggered the indignation in the region.
