Gaza diplomacy behind closed doors
The Gaza region is witnessing intense behind-the-scenes diplomatic activity regarding the next phase of the ceasefire agreement. This comes amidst American pressure on Israel to support a plan for a two-week ceasefire as a prelude to disarming Hamas. However, Israel has expressed reservations about implementing arrangements related to withdrawal and Hamas's disarmament, with some ministers rejecting the proposal, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voicing concerns about taking further steps before Hamas is fully disarmed. The disagreement primarily centers on the sequencing of withdrawal and disarmament steps, while Hamas and other Palestinian factions link the implementation of the second phase to the cessation of attacks and previous commitments. Meanwhile, meetings continue between mediators and international parties to overcome obstacles and achieve progress in the implementation.
