The Israeli newspaper Maariv stated that the incoming US President Donald Trump is putting intense pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to bring the exchange deal of prisoners closer.

It added that the talks are proceeding not only on one or two channels. But negotiations on Gaza are moving along three channels:

Exchange deal

A military channel aimed at ending the war, a political channel aimed at maturing into an exchange deal, and a humanitarian channel for talks related to restoring the Gaza Strip and returning life to normal.

It stressed that the three channels are complementary to each other and are in the hands of the Egyptians.

It stressed that the main points of the agreement stipulate that the Israeli army must stop the war in stages and gradually withdraw from the Gaza Strip. The Rafah crossing will be opened to allow hundreds of aid trucks to enter every day, and Israel will release hundreds of security prisoners and receive prisoners. The implementation of the interim agreement will be supervised by America and other countries, as in Lebanon.

What plan?

According to the newspaper, in recent weeks, the Egyptians have been working away from the spotlight to bring Hamas and the Palestinian Authority closer together develop a plan to establish a new government entity in the Gaza Strip once a ceasefire is declared.

The proposal talks about a body to manage the civilian affairs of the Gaza Strip and will be staffed by 10 to 15 professionals who are not affiliated with any movement, and with an already official name: “The Social Committee to Support the Residents of Gaza”.

Its no coincidence the Egyptians have given it this title, nor the “unity government”, although it will operate under the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah. The Egyptians chose this name to be accepted by the Israeli government.

The newspaper stressed the agreement document the Egyptians extracted from Hamas and the Palestinian Authority is an achievement in itself and the Israeli government will have to decide soon whether handing over the Gaza Strip to this committee is acceptable to it or not according to Al Rai Al Youm.

Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Andrzej Szejna said Thursday, his country is ready to cooperate with the International Criminal Court regarding the implementation of arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“The Polish Foreign Ministry has adopted an interpretation that states that Poland, like the other 124 member states of the Rome Statute, is obligated to cooperate with the International Criminal Court to implement the court’s orders and in its name, not in the name of the states,” Szejna added.

“Immunity and sovereignty that are usually used in international relations between states do not apply to this case,” he stressed.

“Poland considers the International Criminal Court an essential element of international criminal justice and international relations based on law,” the Polish Foreign Minister added.

“Poland’s position is clear. Poland respects the decisions of the International Criminal Court and will implement them,” he continued.

The Commission of the European Union previously stated that it “supports the International Criminal Court, and all EU countries are obligated to implement the arrest warrants issued against Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Galant.”

The ICC issued arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Galant, accusing them of “committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in oIsrael’s] war on the Gaza Strip.”

The Israeli occupation army, supported by the United States and Europe, continues its aggression on the Gaza Strip for the 426th consecutive day, as its warplanes bomb the vicinity of hospitals, buildings, towers and homes of Palestinian civilians, destroying them over the heads of their residents, and preventing the entry of water, food, medicine and fuel.

The ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan is urging its member countries to implement the arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Galant.

The Israeli aggression has left more than 150,000 Palestinian martyred and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, amid massive destruction and famine that killed dozens of children and elderly people, in one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world according to the Palestine Information Center.

Amnesty Damns Israel

Israel attacked on Thursday a report by human rights group Amnesty International accusing Tel Aviv of committing genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

The UK-based organization said early Thursday that it has found “sufficient basis to conclude that Israel has committed and is continuing to commit genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.”

“Israel has unleashed hell and destruction on Palestinians in Gaza brazenly, continuously, and with total impunity,” the rights group said.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry called the Amnesty report “deplorable and fanatical,” and “entirely false and based on lies.”

The ministry claimed that Israel’s deadly offensive in Gaza, where nearly 44,600 have been killed, mostly women and children, was in “self-defense and in accordance with international law.”

Israel launched a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip following an attack by Hamas in October 2023, despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire.

The second year of the genocide in Gaza has drawn growing international condemnation, with officials and institutions denouncing the attacks and blocking of aid deliveries as a deliberate attempt to destroy the population according to Anadolu.

Last month, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its deadly war on Gaza.

he wife of Israeli captive held in Gaza Chaim Peri said the investigation released by the army earlier on the deaths of her husband and five other in February in Gaza proves that the Israeli military pressure is killing the captives.

The Israeli military probe determined that the six captives were likely executed by their captors amid an Israeli airstrike on a Hamas tunnel near where they were being held. The military said in its probe that it hadn’t been aware at the time that the captives were near the tunnel targeted in the strike.

Speaking to Channel 12, Osnat Peri said “military pressure doesn’t help bring hostages home — what’s worse, it kills the hostages.”
