At least 60,000 prefabricated housing units and 200,000 curtains should be delivered to Gaza during the first phase of the agreement, in addition to the equipment for the authorization of the rubble, according to a copy of the text of the agreement seen by the New York Times.
Starting from Friday, it was not unclear if Israel had recommended to allow supplies to enter Gaza. Omer Dostri, spokesman for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by Israel, said Thursday that Israel did not allow prefabricated accommodation or heavy construction equipment, without explaining logic. He didn’t say if this could change.
But even if the agreement dates back to the right way to the near future, Wrangling has pushed further pessimism on the fact that the ceased will last. The first phase will expire at the beginning of March and Israel and Hamas have yet to agree on the terms to extend the agreement.
The indirect interviews on the second phase of last week should have started, including negotiating the end of the war, the release of the remaining living hostages and the withdrawal of the Israeli forces from Gaza.
But Thursday, Dostri said that Israel “was not currently conducting negotiations on the second phase of the agreement”. Mr. Netanyahu faced pressure from the members of his right -wing government coalition to resume the fight against Hamas after the six weeks have increased.
The three Israeli prisoners have been held from 7 October 2023, when Hamas launched his surprise attack on Israel in which 1,200 people were killed and 250 took hostage. All three were kidnapped by Nir Oz, an Israeli border community devastated by the assault; About a quarter of his 400 residents was killed or kidnapped.
For Iair Horn’s family, its release will most likely be bitter. His brother, Etan Horn, has not been included in the list of 33 Israeli hostages to be released, which means that his freedom was delayed to the nebula “second phase”.
IAIR Horn was a longtime member of Nir Oz who managed the local pub. Eatan was visiting his brother for a holiday weekend when Hamas’ attack began, according to his father, Itzik Horn, who added that he had lost contact with them shortly after.
“Let them free all the Palestinian prisoners we have here, all the terrorists – what interests me,” Horn said in an interview with the New York Times in December 2023. “The most important thing is not to defeat Hamas. The only victory Here is all the hostages. “
Mr. Dekel-Cen, father of three young daughters, was taken while working in the seminary of the Nir Oz car on the morning of the assault. He never met his third daughter, who was born two months after her kidnapping, according to the hostages and the Missing Families Forum, a defense group.
His father, Jonathan Dekel-Cen, made a campaign tirelessly for his release, including travel to the White House to meet US officials. He criticized the Israeli government, which he claimed did not do enough to free the prisoners before.
Troufanov, an engineer for an Amazon affiliate, was kidnapped by a smaller militant group, the Palestinian Islamic jihad, which also confirmed on Friday that it would be released. His father was killed during the attack led by Hamas and his mother, the grandmother and his girlfriend were taken hostage. They were released together with over 100 other hostages during a week of a week in November 2023.
In November, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad published a hostage video with Mr. Troufanov, in which he seemed tired, with a beard and unbeliered bags under his eyes. He mentioned a lack of food and water.
