An Israel delegation has arrived in Qatar for Gaza truce talks as part of the ceasefire agreement with Hamas. The next stage of negotiations is set to start following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the United States. Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump made controversial remarks about displacing Palestinians from Gaza and having the U.S. take ownership of the enclave. This plan was met with criticism, with some calling it “ethnic cleansing,” but Israeli officials welcomed it.
The first stage of the ceasefire involves the release of hostages and prisoners by both Israel and Hamas. The Israeli military completed its withdrawal from an important crossing point in Gaza, as agreed in the ceasefire. Hamas-run police forces managed the flow of Palestinians at the corridor, as Israeli military vehicles were seen moving away from the coast towards the border.
Former American soldiers have been deployed as private contractors to inspect vehicles passing through the corridor following the ceasefire agreement. Israel had occupied this corridor, cutting off Gaza’s northern communities from the south. Thousands of Palestinians have returned to their homes in the north, many finding their homes destroyed and setting up tents where they once stood.
The ceasefire was implemented after more than 15 months of war, with casualties on both sides. Palestinian medics reported casualties from Israeli gunfire in Gaza on Sunday, with four Palestinians killed in separate incidents. The Israeli military said they fired warning shots at suspects in Gaza City but were not aware of the incident where an elderly woman was allegedly killed.
