Israeli forces begin withdrawal from key Gaza corridor under ceasefire agreement
wcvb.com —
Israeli forces have started withdrawing from the Netzarim corridor in Gaza, part of a ceasefire deal with Hamas. This move allows Palestinians to return to their homes in northern Gaza, fulfilling a commitment from the truce. The ceasefire, now 42 days in, includes negotiations for an extension and the release of more Israeli hostages. However, progress on these talks appears limited, and the situation remains fragile. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans to meet with key Cabinet ministers this week regarding the next phase of the deal. This phase aims for the release of all remaining hostages in exchange for a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
