And renewed, the movement expressed flexibility in negotiating by approving the brokers proposal to release an Israeli-American soldier and four bodies for double nationality, in order to resume negotiations of the second stage of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza and the exchange of prisoners. On the other hand, Netanyahu postponed his response to the acceptance of Hamas, the proposal of the brokers, and tried to blame the movement again, claiming that it “continues to engage in manipulation and psychological war.”
Israel wants to extend the first phase of the agreement, which came into effect on January 19, 2025, to release the largest possible number of Israeli detainees without submitting or completing the military and humanitarian benefits imposed on the agreement, while “Hamas” confirms its commitment to implement the agreement, and demands that Israel be obligated to all its provisions, calling on the brokers to initiate immediately in the negotiations of the second stage, which includes Israeli withdrawal from the sector And a complete stop for the war.
