Israeli forces withdraw from Gaza corridor as part of ceasefire deal with Hamas

Israeli forces have started withdrawing from the Netzarim corridor in Gaza, fulfilling part of a ceasefire agreement with Hamas. This corridor had been a military zone during the conflict, and the withdrawal allows Palestinians to return home. The ceasefire, which began on January 19, has faced challenges, including stalled negotiations for its extension. While Hamas is releasing Israeli hostages, Israel's full troop withdrawal remains uncertain, with both sides holding firm on their demands. Tensions continue as Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu faces pressure from political allies to resume military action. Meanwhile, a controversial proposal by former President Trump regarding Gaza's future has drawn criticism from Palestinian leaders and neighboring countries.
