Hours after Israel withdrew its troops from the city of Gaza in the opening phase of the American ceasefire, tens of thousands of Palestinians crawled back to beg through bombed buildings, supervising Hamas security workers.
The Ministry of the Interior Hamas said on Friday on Friday that its police forces would deploy through the territory. On Saturday, men who wore caps marked as “internal security” and armed with assault rifles of Kalashnikov, according to witnesses and pictures published on social media and filmed Al Jazeera.
It was an early sign that the goal of Israel to remove the Isralamist group from power – and the goal of US President Donald Trump for permanent peace – will not be easy. Neither the task of the reconstruction.
“Everyone I know has lost the house,” said Mahmúd Faraj, who last month, when the Israeli troops took over, left the city of Gaza with his family. When he spoke by phone, he said, “My family remains in the south of Gaza in their relocation because there is no home to which they will return.”
The extent of destruction in Gaza can be slightly smaller than in the southern part of the coastal enclave, but is still massive. Most high-rise buildings were equalized-Israel saying that they contained news infrastructure Hamas-A Some streets are unknowable.
The ceasefire, aimed at ending the brutal two -year war between Israel and Hamas, keeps Israeli troops in the zone. Hamas agreed to liberate 20 live hostages – and handed over the remnants of 28 others – to Monday, when Trump arrives in Jerusalem to address parliament before going to Egypt on a ceremonial signature.
Israel is then obliged to free nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, including 250 lifetime punishments. Those who will be between 250 are a matter of intensive concern between Israel and Hamas.
Among the controversial prisoners who could be liberated are Hamas executives who killed Israelis.
Hamas, considered a terrorist group of the US and the European Union, launched a war two years ago. While he fired 5,000 missiles in Israeli cities, thousands of her workers crossed Israel and killed 1200 people and kidnapped another 250.
According to the Ministry of Health, Israeli anti -mate killed at least 67,000 people and destroyed a large part of the territory. The body associated with the UN has declared famine in parts of the north because Israel blocked help and experts accused Israel both by genocide and the policy of forced starvation.
Israel rejects both the accusations, and says his attack was so destructive because Hamas, funded by Iran, hid hundreds of kilometers of underground tunnels and between civilians and stole help.
The 20-point peace plan promoted by Trump and agreed with Israel requires Hamas to surrender power and disarming, while the temporary international administration leads Gaza. On Saturday, about 200 US soldiers began to come in Israel to help supervise the agreement.
However, the statement he issued on Friday evening with Hamas and other militant groups is questioned by this plan. It invites to national unity between factions and adds: “We firmly reject any foreign custody and confirm that determining the form of administration in the Gaza Strip and the principles led by its institution is an internal Palestinian affair that the national components of our people decide.”
Experts warned that any peace agreement made without Palestinian participation and that it was largely relying on external administration. Palestinian factions are to start with a meeting in Egypt to come up with their plan for the future of Gaza.
The uncertainty between 2.2 million inhabitants of the belt is ubiquitous – as well as fear for those who are still not counted.
Families and medical crews began a grim mission to seek bodies trapped under a little or in areas that were inaccessible to the presence of Israeli ground forces or heavy fighting.
The first day of the ceasefire, 63 of them in Gaza City, according to medical and rescue officials in Gaza, more than 130 bodies were collected.
But there was also joy and relief. The videos of relieved, displaced gazans who run on trucks provided by the Palestinian entrepreneur to return from the south to their homes in Gaza City, are spreading to social media. After two years of war, people even dance in the streets through the enclave at the prospect of ending the war.
Israelis are equally emotional. Young soldiers who were released from service in Gaza publish videos that leave the sound of traditional songs and even poetry. Others show that the brigades pray to express their gratitude – they stood up with the Palestinians in Gaza who do the same on the other side of the border. Bloomberg was unable to verify the videos separately.
Meanwhile, international assistance groups say they are ready to start the flooding of gazets with food, medicine and reconstruction of materials. The reconstruction process, as soon as it runs, will take years.
