Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's spokesman, Omer Dostri, said on Sunday that an Israeli delegation had arrived in the Qatari capital, Doha, to hold talks on a ceasefire in Gaza, according to Reuters.

In the same context, the American website Axios reported yesterday, Saturday, that the Israeli delegation heading to Doha will discuss “technical issues only,” and will not address the second phase of the Gaza agreement.

The families of the Israeli detainees demanded that Netanyahu give the negotiating delegation in Doha full authorization to complete the agreement “until the last detainee is returned.”

The statement by the association representing the families of the detainees referred to a message from a political source stating that the delegation that will later leave for Qatar will discuss only “technical matters” of the agreement, and that the cabinet will not discuss the second stage until Netanyahu returns from his visit to the United States.

Under the Gaza deal that ended more than 15 months of fighting, 33 hostages held by Palestinian factions in Gaza will be released during the first six weeks of the ceasefire, in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, many of whom are serving life sentences in Israel.

The second phase of negotiations includes the release of more than 60 men of military age. The third phase is supposed to allow for the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip and the establishment of a model of governance for the small Palestinian territory.
