Gaza: Israeli restrictions on aid entry and deal negotiations

Reactions have been coming in Gaza and around the world, rejecting the statements of US President Donald Trump calling for the displacement of the people of Gaza and the imposition of US control over the Strip, while attention is turning to the completion of the first phase of the exchange deal and the resumption of the ceasefire negotiations hosted by Doha.


The Palestinians unanimously rejected any form of displacement, and that the displacement and settlement plans in other countries were nothing but attempts to liquidate the issue and end their legitimate right to return to their original cities, villages and towns occupied during the Nakba in 1948.


The White House sought to clarify Trump's plan for US control of the Gaza Strip and the deportation of its residents, after the proposal sparked a flood of condemnatory reactions from the Palestinians, Arabs and the international community.


The White House confirmed that Washington "will not fund the reconstruction of Gaza."


Following Trump's statements and as the ceasefire in Gaza entered its 19th day on Thursday, Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz announced that he had instructed the army to prepare a plan for the residents of the Strip to leave voluntarily, expressing his welcome for Trump's plan, who said that the United States would control Gaza after the Palestinians were resettled elsewhere.


The Israeli negotiating team is heading to Doha on Saturday to discuss the deal with Hamas, but Israeli media reported that "the Israeli negotiating delegation will only discuss completing the first phase of the deal."


She added that the likelihood in Israel is that the discussion about the second phase will not take place until after the cabinet discusses Trump's plan.


This comes at a time when Israel continues to procrastinate and delay everything related to the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip under the ceasefire agreement, as data from government agencies in the Strip showed that the Israeli authorities did not abide by the number of trucks required to enter the Strip under the terms of the ceasefire agreement.


The agreement stipulates the entry of 600 aid trucks daily, excluding commercial trucks, but their number during the 15 days, from January 19 to February 2, reached only 6,089 trucks.


The Israeli authorities are obstructing the entry of heavy equipment into the Gaza Strip, as stipulated in the ceasefire agreement.


The Palestinian Civil Defense in the Gaza Strip said that its crews are unable to retrieve 10,000 martyrs still under the rubble, due to a lack of equipment.


A Hamas source said that the Israeli occupation is obstructing the implementation of some of the provisions stipulated in the ceasefire agreement, noting that the occupation army is still preventing the entry of heavy equipment in accordance with what was stipulated in the agreement.
