Israeli troops withdraw from a corridor that split the gas into two

Israeli troops withdrew from the corridor of Netsar, a war zone cut north of the Gaza Strip from the south.

Hundreds of Palestinians in cars and carts loaded with mattresses and other goods began to return to Northern Gas after pulling – often to scenes of complete destruction.

The Israeli withdrawal is in accordance with the Israeli Fire Termination Agreement of January 19, according to which 21 Israeli hostages and 566 Palestinian prisoners have been released so far.

By the end of the first stage of fire termination, 33 hostages and 1900 prisoners are expected to be released after three weeks. Israel says eight out of 33 are dead.

Hamas seized 251 hostages and killed about 1,200 people when he attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, triggering the war in Gaza.

At least 47,500 Palestinians were killed in Israel’s offensive, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. About two -thirds of Gaza’s buildings were damaged or destroyed by Israel’s attacks, UN says.

About 700,000 northern gas residents fled to the southern regions at the beginning of the war, when the Israeli military issued a mass evacuation orders before the ground invasion of the Palestinian territory began.

Many of the displaced subsequently were forced to move repeatedly after the forces were also pushed into South Gaza.

They were also prevented from returning to their homes across the corridor in Netsar, extending from the border of Gaza-Israel to the Mediterranean.

The Israeli forces partially withdrew from the west of the corridor last month, and the first Palestinians – pedestrians – were allowed to walk along the Rashid Coastal street as they passed to North Gaza.

Those of vehicles should use Salah al-Din Street and undergo a screening for weapons where it crosses the corridor.

The departure on Sunday from the eastern part of the corridor will leave the Israelis in control of the Gaza borders, but not the path that had cut it in half.

The Haaretz newspaper says the Gaza Gaza Interior Ministry has called on people to “be caution and to adhere to the existing movement guidelines for their safety.”

The withdrawal of the troops is coming as an Israeli delegation is expected to fly to Qatar, which is moderating conversations between the two countries in the Gaza war.

The Israeli Government said earlier that the delegation would initially discuss “technical issues” regarding the first phase of the transaction to terminate the fire, not the more challenging second phase, which aim All other living hostages in Gaza in Gaza for more Palestinian prisoners and the complete withdrawal of the Israeli forces from Gaza.

This will require a more guidance than Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is currently returning from the United States.

Netanyahu became the first foreign leader to meet with US President Donald Trump after returning to the White House on January 20.

During the trip, in the most dramatic change in US policy regarding gas for decades, Trump called for the removal of the entire civilian population on the territory and the development of what he called the “Riviera of the Middle East.”

This proposal, which would be a crime in international law, is almost universally rejected, including by Arab countries.

The Saudi Foreign Ministry said on Saturday that it would not accept a “violation of the unchanging rights of the Palestinians and any attempt to displace,” accusing Israel in Ethnic Cleansing.

Egypt also rejected any idea of ​​the removal of the Palestinian population and said it was called an emergency summit on the Arab League on February 27 to discuss what he calls “serious” Palestinian developments.
