Disruption in the last quarter of an hour!
By the time the newspaper was sent to press, Israel had not released the seventh installment in the first phase of the deal, thus violating the terms of the agreement.
Although this violation is not the first, it is the most serious, as it approaches the start of the second phase negotiations with the end of the eighth batch next Thursday, when Hamas will hand over the remains of four Israeli detainees, after which the second phase will begin, which is supposed to end with the end of the war and the complete withdrawal from the Strip.
The beginning of the second stage means the disintegration of the fragile right-wing coalition, which is leaning on the straw of the promise that Netanyahu made to his partner Smotrich to return to war, and the refusal to enter the second stage, which is supposed to end the war with its end, which confuses the Israeli scene, especially with the escalation of protests by the families of the detainees, and their apprehension of Netanyahu’s response to the blackmail of his coalition partners, at the expense of the lives of their children, whose fate the “fox” does not care about.
The outcomes of the first phase determine the outcomes of the second phase. If Israel fails to fulfill its commitment to release the seventh batch of the first phase tonight (last night), this means that we are heading towards a scenario similar to the Camp David negotiations scenario in 2000, when Ehud Barak, who was Prime Minister, stipulated that Areas C and B be handed over to the Authority, as stipulated in the Oslo Accords, on reaching a comprehensive deal that would end the conflict, through negotiations that were hastily prepared at Camp David, and which ended with the invasion of the West Bank and Gaza and the assassination of Abu Ammar.
The coming hours will answer the burning questions.
