An official who was not allowed to speak to the media in the registry said that Israel had moved to a defensive position only in Gaza and will not be active. The official said that the forces were not removed from the tape.

The advertisement came after hours Trump’s command Israel To stop bombing Gaza as soon as Hamas said it had accepted some elements of his plan. Trump welcomed the statement of Hamas, saying: “I think they are ready for permanent peace.”

Trump appears to be keen to make pledges to end the war and return dozens of hostages before the second anniversary of the attack on Tuesday. His proposal, which was revealed earlier this week, has widespread international support and acknowledged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

On Friday, Netanyahu’s office said that Israel was committed to ending the war that started when Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, without treating potential gaps with the armed group. Netanyahu was exposed to increasing pressure from the international community and Trump to end the conflict. The AP official told Netanyahu the rare statement late at night on Saturday, saying that Israel began preparing for Trump’s plan due to pressure from the American administration.

The official also said that the negotiating team was preparing to travel, but there was no specific date.

A senior Egyptian official says that the talks are underway to release the hostages, as well as hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli detention. The official, who is participating in the ceasefire negotiations, said that the Arab mediators are preparing for a comprehensive dialogue between the Palestinians. The talks aim to unify the Palestinian position towards the future of Gaza.

On the other hand, Israel had stopped attacking and withdrawn from most of the lands, releasing hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and allowing humanitarian aid and ultimately reconstruction.

agitation He said that he was ready to release the hostages and hand over power to other Palestinians, but the other aspects of the plan required more consultations between the Palestinians. Its official statement also did not address the issue of Hamas DefitZing, which is a major part of the deal.

Amir Avivi, a retired Israeli general and head of the Defense and Security Forum in Israel, said, while Israel can stop shooting for a few days in Gaza so that the hostages can be fired, it will resume its attack if Hamas does not put its arms.

Others say that although Hamas suggests preparing to negotiate, his position remains basically unchanged.

Oded Ailaam, a researcher at the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, said that this speech “yes, but” it simply restores the old demands in a more soft language. “He said that the gap between appearance and work is wide as it was always, and the rhetorical transformation is a smoke screen more than a reference to the real movement towards the decision.

At the same time protests it It erupted throughout Europe Call to end the war. On Saturday, tens of thousands of people in Barcelona, ​​Spain, walked with expected demonstrations in Italy and Portugal.

It is not clear what it means to the Palestinians who suffer in Gaza

Experts decided that Gaza City Crink up to starvation Shortly before Israel launched its main attack there, aiming to work. An estimated 400,000 people have escaped from the city in recent weeks, but hundreds of other thousands have gone behind.

The hostages families are also careful about hope.

Judea Cohen said there are concerns about all sides. He said that Hamas and Netanyahu could ruin the deal or Trump may lose attention. However, he says, if that happens, it will be because of Trump.

“We are putting our confidence in Trump, because he is the only person who does that … and we want to see him with us until the last step,” he said.
