Gaza Deal Second Phase Expected Next Week
Sources expect that the signing of the second phase of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip will take place in Cairo mid-next week, provided that the final understandings are completed and approval is granted by Hamas, which has not yet given its final consent to the terms. The agreement includes steps for the gradual disarmament, transferring the management of the sector to a Palestinian national committee, and rebuilding efforts, all under international supervision. Negotiations face challenges due to Hamas's resistance to surrendering all weapons and ongoing disagreements over verification mechanisms and Israeli withdrawal procedures. Meanwhile, Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey are exerting pressure on Hamas to accept the deal. The divergence in positions between Israel and Palestinian opposition parties raises concerns about the potential failure to implement the final agreement.
