Hamas și-a exprimat disponibilitatea de a începe negocierile pentru a doua fază a armistițiului din Gaza, scrie Reuters.
Hamas is preparing for discussions on the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire, following the release of hundreds of Palestinians from Israeli prisons in exchange for the remains of four Israeli soldiers. This concluded the first phase of the six-week ceasefire, which began on January 19. Israel accuses Hamas of killing the soldiers, a claim Hamas denies. The second phase aims to permanently end the Gaza conflict, though it has yet to commence. Israel faces internal pressure to continue the ceasefire for the release of remaining soldiers, with some government members advocating for renewed hostilities. Fifty-nine soldiers remain in Gaza, fewer than half believed to be alive. Hamas conditions their release on ceasefire adherence. Negotiations are complicated by regional tensions and U.S. military support for Israel.
