The rain starts with a drop!

Finally, heavy machinery has entered the Gaza Strip, and its number is limited, and the mobile homes are still undergoing Israeli inspections. In the midst of the Strip’s need for hundreds of heavy machinery and engineering equipment, and the necessity of the arrival of thousands of mobile homes, and with the resistance’s commitment to the terms of the first phase of the exchange deal, the occupation has not committed to it, especially the humanitarian protocol, as the occupation is obstructing the entry of basic priorities related to infrastructure, hospitals, water, electrical appliances, and energy sources.
The first drop of rain.. This applies to the aid that has been brought into the Gaza Strip, which needs millions of drops so that it becomes appropriate to talk about this humanitarian dimension, which Israel is deliberately delaying and procrastinating. However, the resistance succeeded in achieving an important strategic accomplishment against Israel, by agreeing with the mediating countries to release 4 bodies of Israelis tomorrow, Thursday, and 6 living detainees on Saturday. Thus, Israel was placed in a difficult position, as it must implement the deal protocol to the letter, and this is what Netanyahu does not want, as he seeks to preserve his government for fear of its collapse if he goes to the second stage negotiations.
The demand to bring in equipment, aid and caravans is an acquired and legitimate right of the Palestinians who no longer have a place to shelter them after the occupation destroyed their homes and tents. This right is not considered a favor or a gift from anyone... Rather, it is a real necessity for the steadfastness and strength of the Palestinians and their endurance of this unprecedented aggression.
Despite the positive developments in the negotiations for the end of the first phase, the preparations for the launch of the second phase train, the enthusiasm of each party, whether Palestinian or Israeli, to receive a large number of detainees and prisoners, even corpses, and the atmosphere of optimism that has returned to prevail, the Palestinian negotiator must pay attention to the seriousness of the stage, especially since Israel is still threatening to disarm Hamas and evacuate its leaders, and prevent any Palestinian ruling authority in the Strip. There is no doubt that these conditions, which are repeated in the form of statements and threats from officials in Israel and the United States, alike, constitute a real warning to cancel the exchange deal, cancel the ceasefire, and resume the aggression.
