Is there any hopes for the second phase of truce in Gaza – BBC News in Serbian

Where far? The first six weeks of ceasefire in Gaza is finished on Saturday.

In 42 days from 19. January, there were a lot of uncertainty, hopes, sadness and anger, but all that was supposed to happen – it happened.

Israeli hostages, living and dead, are free. Palestinian prisoners – free.

However, negotiations on the second phase, including the release of all remaining hostages and withdrawal of Israel troops from Gaza, barely set off.

Negotiations began on 28. February in Cairo, but the Israeli delegation returned home.

According to reports, the BBC had insight, negotiations could continue « remotely », and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah should hold talks with delegation, high ministers and intelligence services late in the evening on Saturday.

It is unusual that such a meeting is held late in the evening, but no details have been published.

It seems that Israel wants to extend the current phase for another six weeks, in order to return even hostages and freed more Palestinian prisoners, but without the withdrawal of its troops.

The government is unwavering that Hamas, the group responsible for Mass. October 2023. and taking 251 hostages, it must take a weapon and give up any form of government in the gauze belt.

Israel also says that he is not yet ready to leave the Filadelphia corridor along the border between Egypt and Gaza – the process that was supposed to start on Saturday.

In a statement sent to journalists on Friday, an unnamed Israeli official said: « We will not allow Hamas killers to roam our boundaries armed again. »

It is often believed that such anonymous quotes come directly from the prime minister's cabinet.

Last summer, efforts to ensure the ceasefire in Gaza, they hunted when Netanyahu insisted that Israeli troops remain stationed along the Filadelphia corridor.

Hamas said on Friday night that he would not agree to any extension of the first phase without the guarantees of American, cataric and Egyptian intermediaries that another stage of the truce will eventually come.

Hamas seems to be determined to remain force in Gaza, even if he might be willing to hand over the daily administration with other actors, including the Palestinian administration based on the west coast.

Egypt works in the plan of Gaza reconstruction, as an alternative to the proposal Donald tramp to take over the area and evacuates the entire civilian population.

However, Western diplomats are not optimistic that the plan, which should be presented at the Arab League Summit in Cairo next Tuesday, has some kind of security and management arrangements that will be needed to meet the Israeli demands.

This is a key moment.

With numerous emotional turmoil in the last few weeks, the Israelis expected the gradual hostage release.

It is believed to be 24 alive among them, while for another 39 assumes they are dead.

The Israelites desperately want to bring them all back, without propaganda showing that is why the whole country is disgusted and angry.

If the whole process now stops, the public anger is directed towards Hamas and their government will rise.

Further Street Protests were planned, like one on Saturday night at the Tel Aviv, which all Israelis now call the terrace Square now.

« We are looking for a return of all 59 remaining hostages to 50. Days of the Agreement, » said in the invitation from the Hosts for Halls and Missing Families.

« Now our only opportunity is – we won't get another. »

The Secretary General of the United Nations Antonio Gutereš announced, inviting both sides « not to save efforts to avoid violation of the agreement. »

The belief of the war, sooner or later, will start again.

It is a gloomy perspective for hostages and two million Palestinians in Gaza trying to re-adjust their lives to the current, fragile peace.

At the place where families still dig into the bodies from the ruins, sometimes bare hands, raises the sees of themselves to continue the conflict that has already taken tens of thousands of life.

Areas in the middle of a gauze belt that so far avoided the worst conflict, it would probably be hard for any return to war, which would further make life difficult in the country's relasted belt.
