Israeli officials: Negotiations for the second phase of the Gaza agreement have not begun.

Israeli officials said on Wednesday that negotiations for the implementation of the second phase of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas have not yet begun, despite statements from U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday confirming the start of the second phase of the agreement.

Israel 24 reported that unnamed Israeli officials stated: "Contrary to reports, negotiations for the second phase have not yet begun and will only start after the completion of the first phase, which involves the return of all the bodies of the hostages (Israeli prisoners)."

It was noted that specialized teams are in Egypt discussing ways to determine the locations of the remains of the Israelis.
