Confusion and distrust are hanging over efforts to save fire

The deal to stop the Gaza fire between Israel and Hamas seemed trembling as it came into force on January 19, but now it seems to be the closest to fall apart.

A higher Egyptian source told the BBC that regional mediators Egypt and Qatar “intensify their diplomatic efforts in an attempt to save the fire termination agreement.”

A high-level Hamas delegation has already arrived in Cairo to contain the current crisis, “Hamas official told the BBC. He repeated his group’s “full commitment” to the terms of the transaction.

On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said: “If Hamas does not return our hostages by Saturday at noon, the cessation of the fire will end and (Israeli military) will resume intense battles.”

However, there are mixed messages whether it means that all 76 hostages are still in gas – in accordance with the high Ultimatum bets recommended by US President Donald Trump.

Trump responded to the threat of Hamas to derail the agreement on Monday.

He complained of Israel’s disorders about the termination of fire, more specially related to the aid, and warned that it would delay the release of hostages on Saturday.

Last week, the president’s new radical plan to swallow gas in the United States – without his two million Palestinian residents – also changed the context for the termination of fire that the administration helped him with the broker.

So, what more do we know about what was happening behind the scenes?

As for the outcome of the four -hour Cabinet Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Israeli journalists have acknowledged puzzling and confusing briefings.

After a video message from the Israeli prime minister demanded the issuance of “our” hostages, the first reports – quoting an unnamed senior Israeli employee – said this referred to the original three hostages intended to be released.

It was then said that Israel expected that the final nine living hostages were intended for release in the six -week first phase of the cessation of fire, which should be seen a total of 33 captives transmitted.

The key ministers then began to weigh. Miri Regev – a close ally of Netanyahu – said the decision was “very clear” and sounded Trump’s demand. She said, “By Saturday, everyone will be released!”

The distant Israeli finance minister aroused Smotrich – who threatened to leave the Netanyahu coalition if there was no return to the fight at the end of the six -week fire to end the fire – went even further.

In social media, he suggested that Hamas release all hostages or else to open the “gates of hell” without entering fuel, water or humanitarian assistance in Gaza.

He said there should be “only fire and brimstone” from Israeli military planes and tanks, with the tape completely occupied and its population being thrown away.

“We have all the international support on this,” he said.

His comments indicate how Trump’s post -war vision of Gaza has strengthened the far right in Israel.

This is said to be worried about Israeli security chiefs who have agreed to the current fire termination transaction and believe that his collapse will endanger the hostage’s life.

The Israeli media reports that they insist on a way to return the next three captives held by Hamas on a schedule over the weekend.

The hostage and their supporters’ families were worried about the latest developments, as well as the Gazani worn out of war.

The fact that Hamas leader for Gaza, Halil Al-Haya, leads a delegation to track the implementation in Cairo, shows that the armed group is also trying to return the fire termination agreement.

As of January 19, the deal has observed a total of 16 Israeli hostages, brought in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. Five Thai farm workers were also released.

At the same time, Israeli troops withdrew right into the perimeter of Gaza, including the border with Egypt.

Relative tranquility allowed hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians to return to their own neighborhoods and lead to a surge of humanitarian aid.

The current impasse stems from Hamas’s claim that Israel did not keep his promises of the first phase of the reconciliation.

It says that this requires Israeli authorities to allow about 300,000 tents and 60,000 caravans in gas.

With so many people who return to the ruins of their homes – during cold, wet winter time – such shelters were desperately necessary.

Fuel and generators are also said to be in shortages – especially in northern gas – where it is urgently required, especially for water pumps and bakeries.

It is difficult to check what exactly came into the tape.

According to figures cited by the UN, “since the fire, 644,000 people in Gaza have received help with shelter, including tents, sealing materials and tarpaulins.”

The Israeli military body said that Israel was “engaged and fulfilled its obligation to facilitate the entry of 600 humanitarian aid trucks in the Gaza Strip every day.”

He added: “According to the data available to us, as the agreement came into force, hundreds of thousands of tents entered the gas tape.”

Despite controversial stories, it can be assumed that the assistance issues that Israel allows in gas can be resolved by mediators.

“Cairo and Doha call on all parties to adhere to the terms of the agreement against the background of political and field complexities that make the task more challenging,” a senior Egyptian source told the BBC.

“The continuation of the termination of fire is in the interest of everyone and we warn that the collapse of the agreement will lead to a new wave of violence with serious regional reflections.”

Even if the immediate crisis can be overcome this weekend, then it will still leave the next stage in the negotiations to end the fire unresolved.

The first phase of the transaction must be completed in March, unless Hamas and Israel agree to extend. So far, negotiations have been postponed.

The Israeli Prime Minister delayed the discussions on the next phase against the background of the pressure from his ruling coalition and the increasing evidence during the end of fire, that – contrary to the goals of his war – Hamas remains a significant political and military force in Gaza.

During the surrender of hostages and the distribution of help Hamas, he strives to design an image of his own power.

Although he had previously signaled to share power with other Palestinian factions, he still seems unlikely to disarm.

On top of that, Trump doubles from his idea of ​​turning a gas into a Mediterranean travel destination – after moving the residents there to Jordan and Egypt – caused shock and outrage in the Arab world.

Egypt says he has formulated his own overall gas restoration plan – which will not include Palestinians leaving their land.

The leaders of Egypt, Qatar, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia are expected to meet before a conference in Cairo on February 27.

The current dispute over Gaza’s future adds to the confusion and a sense of deep distrust of the background of efforts to solve current problems.
