An Israeli association will challenge the agreement between Israel and Hamas. Almagor, who represents victims of terrorism, announces that he will present a petition to the Supreme Court this morning against the agreement that provides for the release of Palestinian prisoners.
“Almagor demands to see the list of prisoners that Israel is considering releasing as part of the agreement. The organization also demands to see full details of the commitments Israel is making to Hamas regarding restrictions on combat during the ceasefire period, including the cessation of intelligence gathering, as well as the delivery of fuel and other supplies that could help Hamas carry out terrorist operations against residents of Israel,” the organization states.
Israel accepted the deal on Tuesday, with all members of Netanyahu’s executive voting in favor, except the three ministers of the far-right Jewish Power Party (Otzma Yehudit) and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir.
Qatar said Wednesday that the start of the four-day truce between Israel and the Islamist movement Hamas, which provides for the release of hostages in Gaza and Palestinian prisoners, will be announced in the next 24 hours. During these 24 hours, challenges to the agreement may be filed.
In a statement, Qatar’s Foreign Ministry called the talks that led to the deal a “humanitarian pause” as a result of mediation by Egypt, the United States and Qatar.
“The start of the break will be announced within the next 24 hours and will last four days, subject to extension,” the statement said.
“The agreement includes the release of 50 civilian hostages, women and children currently detained in the Gaza Strip, in exchange for the release of several Palestinian women and children detained in Israeli prisons,” the ministry said.
“The number of people released will increase in later stages of the implementation of the agreement,” the statement added.
Qatar stressed that the ceasefire “will allow the entry of a greater number of humanitarian convoys and humanitarian aid, including fuel intended for humanitarian needs.”
Hamas celebrated the agreement this Wednesday, but guaranteed that the fight is not over. “We confirm that our hands will remain on the trigger and that our triumphant battalions will remain alert,” the group warned in a statement.
This truce comes after weeks of increasing pressure from the international community and major international organizations, such as the United Nations, to end the incessant attacks, which have also left more than 1.5 million people displaced.
Tel Aviv declared war on Hamas after the Islamist group launched an attack on Israel on October 7, in which more than 1,200 people were killed and 240 were kidnapped and taken to Gaza.
