Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced sending a delegation to the Qatari capital, Doha, to conduct negotiations on the second phase of the ceasefire deal.

The Hebrew website "Walla" reported that the Israeli occupation has estimates indicating Hamas' desire to release 3,500 Palestinian prisoners in the next stage.

The Hebrew newspaper said that estimates indicate that Hamas wants to release all prisoners serving life sentences in the occupation's prisons, as part of the second phase.

She considered that the possibility that Hamas would agree to evacuate its leaders from Gaza was "slim."
