Cairo/Jerusalem – A delegation from Israel arrived in Qatar on Sunday for more talks in Gaza, said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, since his military retired from an important crossing point in the enclave, as agreed The truce with Hamas.
The indirect negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas in the next stage of Alto El Fuego will begin this week after Netanyahu’s visit to the United States last week.
Last week, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, made a surprise so that the Palestinians were displaced from Gaza and for the enclave to be under the property of the United States, which would rebuild it.
Since then, US officials have returned some of Trump’s comments, saying that the Palestinians could return to Gaza once he was authorized of unleashed and rebuilt artillery.
Even so, Trump’s plan was widely criticized with some critics who said that it was equivalent to “ethnic cleaning.” Israeli officials have received it.
The first stage of Alto El Fuego that began on January 19 is destined to last six weeks and includes the launch of Hamas de 33 Israeli hostages in exchange for Israel releasing almost 2,000 Palestinian detainees and prisoners of their prisons.
Images of three hostages released on Saturday, looking demacrate and weak, surprised at the Israelis. “Yesterday we recover our father. He lost much of his weight but not his spirit, ”said Yulie Ben Ami, whose Father Ohad was released. “He survived hell.”
Withdrawal
Washington, Qatar and Egypt mediated the high fire, which has remained largely. According to the agreement, on Sunday the Israeli army completed his withdrawal from his remaining positions in the Netzarim corridor, which divides Gaza.
He saw multitudes of people crossing the corridor when Hamas announced the Israeli withdrawal, while a long line of cars waited to pass. An Israeli security source confirmed that the army was leaving its positions there.
The police force directed by Hamas was deployed in the area to handle the flow of the Palestinians who crossed and the images of Reuters showed what they seemed to be Israeli military vehicles that move away from the coast and towards the Israeli border.
The Military and Police Forces of Hamas have increased their public presence since the high the fire of January, in what analysts say it is an intentional message that the group has not been defeated.
The former American soldiers employed as private contractors have been deployed to inspect the vehicles that pass through the corridor in recent weeks after the high fire agreement that was implemented on January 19 after more than 15 months of war.
Israel had occupied the corridor approximately 4 miles long south of the city of Gaza that extends from the Israeli border to the Mediterranean Sea.
The corridor cut the communities of northern Gaza, including its largest metropolitan area, in the south.
Thousands of Palestinians have gone through the corridor in recent weeks, returning to their homes in the north from southern Gaza, where they had sought refuge from the war.
Much of Northern Gaza has become a moor after the devastating Israel campaign. After finding their destroyed homes, some gazanes have returned to the south, while others have established tents where their homes were once.
Israel promised to destroy Hamas for his October attack, in which they killed 1,200 people, most of them civilians and 251 hostages, according to the many Israelis.
More than 48,000 people have been killed in the retaliation assault of Israel, according to Palestinian health authorities, most of them civilians.
Gazan Medics said that on Sunday four Palestinians, including an old woman, had been killed by Israeli shots in two separate incidents near Khan Younis and in the city of Gaza.
The Israeli army said the soldiers had shot “several suspects” and that “several blows were identified”, when asked about the incident of the city of Gaza, where doctors said three Palestinians had been killed and five injured. The army was not aware of the incident where the woman was killed.
