In the spring, negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement began with a ceasefire and a hostage exchange in the Gaza Strip. Mediators in the negotiations were representatives of the United States, Egypt and Qatar.
Negotiations between Israel and Hamas on the end of the war in the Gaza Strip and the exchange of hostages ended without the parties reaching a final agreement. The Times of Israel reported this on Sunday, August 25.
It was indicated that in the next round of negotiations in Cairo, Hamas and Israel did not agree on some options of the agreement proposed by the mediators.
In particular, the representatives of the Palestinian group said that they are against the Israeli military presence in the so-called “Philadelphia Corridor” – a narrow 14.5 km stretch of land along the southern border of the Gaza Strip with Egypt.
Hamas officials said Israel backed off on a promise to withdraw troops from the corridor and put forward other new conditions, including screening displaced Palestinians who would return to the enclave’s more populous north when the truce begins -gunfire.
The Hamas delegation left Cairo after negotiations with mediators. The group reiterated its demand that any agreement must include a permanent ceasefire and the complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu supported the proposal for an agreement with Hamas to release the hostages, proposed by the United States.
