the Smotrich Smotrich is widely regarded to be a significant figure in the Israeli assaults against the occupied West Bank, which makes him a far-right Israeli. He makes it clear that the current ceasefire concerning Gaza is still existent but may not be for long. “Israel will withdraw from fighting and return to war. After that, Israel will capture and emigrate to Gaza, taking full responsibility,” Smotrich stated. This claim statement refers to the emigration scheme that former President Donald Trump proposed to enact. “This is a crazy logistical event in coordination with the US. It is possible to occupy the Gaza Strip, remove the threat from Hamas, and there is no threat from the Gaza Strip to the citizens of Israel.” Smotrich claimed that in his consideration Trump’s statement that all hostages throughout Gaza need to be released by Saturday is the correct one, but Netanyahu decided differently to allow the continuation of the ceasefire for the time being. He further explains that the Israeli prime minister is purposefully disseminating the feeling of “ambiguity”. ”Our policy for the time being is to exhaust the chances of remaking contact with as many of the important hostages as possible, I greatly worry about those whose lives are at risk.”
Hamas states that the group intends to “continue to implement the [Gaza ceasefire] agreement as per the signed documents and will exchange prisoners as per the schedule.”
Previously, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz once more threatened to renew the war on Gaza, risking the release of three Israeli captives which was set for Saturday.
Hamas officials have been holding meetings in Cairo with Egypt and Qatar mediators regarding the Israeli restriction on the entry of heavy construction equipment and mobile homes to Gaza, among other issues.
