The relatives of Israeli captives announced that they left the meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu regarding the details of the ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement in Gaza with unanswered questions about the second and third phases of the agreement.

RELATIVES OF CAPTIVES SPOKE

After meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu at his office in West Jerusalem, Israeli relatives of captives demanded the release of all Israeli prisoners.

Some Israeli relatives of captives who spoke to Channel 12 said they left the meeting with Netanyahu with many unanswered questions about when the second and third phases of the agreement, which is expected to be announced, would be implemented.

The report stated that the meeting between the Israeli relatives of captives and Netanyahu lasted 45 minutes, and it was noted that Netanyahu said progress had been made in the negotiations.

Sharon Sharabi, whose two brothers are held captive in Gaza, stated that the Israeli government should not wait for 16 days for negotiations on the conditions of the second phase and that discussions should start immediately after the first phase.

Sharon Sharabi's brother Yossi Sharabi was killed in an Israeli attack, while Eli Sharabi is believed to be alive.

NETANYAHU: CEASEFIRE IS A MATTER OF DAYS OR HOURS

On the other hand, according to a report by Israel's Yediot Ahronot newspaper, Netanyahu stated in his meeting with the relatives of Israeli captives that the announcement of a possible ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement is "a matter of days or hours" and that they are waiting for Hamas's response.

Netanyahu expressed that he is ready for a "long-term" ceasefire in Gaza on the condition that all Israeli captives in the Gaza Strip are returned, and he stated that "the rules of the game will fundamentally change" with the inauguration of the elected President of the United States, Donald Trump.

Stating that nothing has been finalized regarding the agreement so far, Netanyahu committed to responding harshly in case of a violation of the potential agreement to the relatives of the captives.

According to reports in the Israeli press, the ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement in Gaza will last for 6 weeks, and in the first phase, 33 Israeli captives who are women, elderly, or seriously ill will be released.

Additionally, it is anticipated that on the 16th day of the first phase of the agreement, Israel and Hamas will begin negotiations regarding the conditions of the second phase.

THE CEASEFIRE AGREEMENT CONSISTS OF 3 PHASES

The agreement between Hamas and Israel consists of 3 phases, each lasting 42 days. The first phase, also referred to as the "humanitarian phase," involves the delivery of 33 Israeli captives, either alive or dead. During this phase, the Israeli army will withdraw from most areas it has entered in the Gaza Strip. According to the draft, the first group of Israeli captives will be released on the 7th day of the agreement coming into effect. For every Israeli captive, 50 Palestinian captives will be released, of which 30 will have been sentenced to life imprisonment. For every elderly Israeli man and woman, 30 Palestinian captives will be released. Palestinian captives may be selected from women, children, or the sick.

THE SECOND PHASE WILL DISCUSS THE RELEASE OF ALL CAPTIVES

The second phase, which will begin on the 16th day of the agreement coming into effect, will involve comprehensive negotiations regarding the release of all Israeli captives held in Gaza. The agreements included in the second phase will be determined before the 5th week of the first phase. The third and final phase of the agreement will include the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip.

THE ISRAELI ARMY'S WITHDRAWAL FROM THE GAZA STRIP WILL ALSO BE GRADUAL

From the first day of the ceasefire agreement coming into effect in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army will withdraw outside the settlement areas. The flights of Israel's unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) will also be suspended for 10 hours daily, and on days of prisoner exchange, UAV flights will be suspended for 12 hours. The withdrawal of the Israeli army from the Gaza Strip will also occur gradually, including the Netzarim Corridor between northern and southern Gaza and the Philadelphi Corridor between Gaza and Egypt. In the second phase of the ceasefire agreement, it will be announced that the Israeli army's attacks will be permanently halted and that it will completely withdraw from Gaza. Subsequently, the border gates opening to the Gaza Strip will be opened for passenger and commercial crossings.

HUMANITARIAN AID TO GAZA STRIP

From the first day the expected agreement comes into effect, the entry of 600 trucks loaded with daily humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip will be allowed, 50 of which will be fuel trucks. According to the agreement, 300 trucks loaded with daily humanitarian aid will enter the northern Gaza Strip. The entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip will continue throughout the 3 phases of the ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement. During this period, the United Nations and international organizations will continue their activities in the Gaza Strip.

RETURN AND RECONSTRUCTION OF DISPLACED PERSONS

From the first day the potential agreement comes into effect, Palestinians will be allowed to return to their homes from the south to the north. Additionally, there will be freedom of movement in all areas of the Gaza Strip. After the ceasefire agreement comes into effect, work will begin on the reconstruction of infrastructure in Gaza, including the construction of electricity and water networks. Furthermore, the entry of necessary equipment for the removal of debris in cities destroyed by Israeli bombardment will be permitted. At least 60,000 temporary caravans will be allowed to enter the Gaza Strip for the accommodation of citizens who have lost their homes. The guarantor countries for the ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement to be established between Hamas and Israel in the Gaza Strip will be Qatar, Egypt, and the USA.
