On Sunday, cars with belongings were seen, including water tanks and suitcases, they went north through a road that crosses Netzarim. Under the high fire agreement, Israel is supposed to allow cars to cross through not inspected and there seemed no troops in the vicinity of the road, said Associated Press.
The withdrawal of the forces of the area will fulfill another commitment to the agreement, which arrested the 15 -month war.
The troops currently remain along the borders of Gaza with Israel and Egypt and it is expected that a complete withdrawal will be negotiated at a posterior stage of the truce.
But the high fire is fragile and its extension is not guaranteed. He has faced repeated obstacles and disagreements between the sides, which seem to have advanced little in the negotiation of the second phase of the agreement aimed at extending the truce and leading to the release of more Israeli hostages of Hamas.
The truce also faces many external challenges, including a proposal by President Donald Trump to relocate the population of Gaza and take possession of the Palestinian territory.
Israel has expressed its openness to the idea, while Hamas, the Palestinians and the broader Arab world have directly rejected it.
The tensions advanced again on Sunday when Saudi Arabia condemned the comment of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the Palestinians could establish a state in Saudi Arabia, citing the large size of the country. Netanyahu’s comments, conducted during an interview of Channel 14 last week, caused violent reactions and the most tense relationships between the two nations, than before the war seems to have moved towards a historical normalization agreement.
Saudi Arabia said that their comments “aim to divert the attention of successive crimes committed by Israeli occupation against our Palestinian brothers in Gaza, including ethnic cleaning to which they are being subjected.”
Qatar, a key mediator in Gaza Fuego Alto negotiations, also condemned comments on Sunday, describing them as “provocative.” The United Arab Emirates, who reached a diplomatic recognition agreement with Israel in 2020, also condemned Netanyahu’s comments on Saturday night.
Although Trump’s plan is loaded with moral, legal and practical obstacles, it may have been proposed as a negotiation tactic try to increase the pressure on Hamas or as an opening gambit in a negotiation process aimed at ensuring a standardization agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia’s response to Netanyahu’s comments would seem to have shaken this plan.
At home, Netanyahu is also under a strong pressure from its extreme right -wing political allies to resume war after the first phase for Hamas, to carry out the most fatal attack against the Israelis in their history, it can be defeated. He faces the pressure of the Israelis, who are eager to see that more hostages return home, especially after the demolving appearances of the three male captives released on Saturday stunned to the nation.
Netanyahu was sending a delegation to Qatar, a key mediator in the conversations between the sides, but the mission included low -level officials, which caused speculations that it will not lead to an advance to extend the truce. It is also expected that Netanyahu calls a meeting of ministers of the key cabinet this week in the second phase of the agreement.
According to local health officials, about 48,000 have died in the War in Gaza, which was caused by the October 7 attack, where 1,200 and 251 died were taken as hostages.
