Israel starts troop withdrawal from Gaza's Netzarim corridor under truce agreement

Israeli forces have begun withdrawing from the Netzarim corridor in Gaza as part of a ceasefire agreement with Hamas. This allows Palestinians to move freely without Israeli inspections, marking a significant change in the military presence in the area. The withdrawal is part of a 42-day truce, which includes the gradual release of 33 Israeli hostages by Hamas. The agreement also involves a pause in hostilities and the release of Palestinian prisoners, but concerns remain about extending the ceasefire. Negotiations for the next phase, which may include the release of all remaining hostages, are ongoing. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is sending a delegation to Qatar for discussions, but the delegation's lower-ranking officials suggest limited immediate progress.
