4 titles for the second phase in the Gaza agreement.. Is the transition to it approaching?

In recent days, there have been intense movements in multiple directions to prepare for the transition to the second phase of the agreement in Gaza, which began its first phase with a ceasefire on October 10, and then the start of a prisoner exchange deal.

The Israeli occupation has sought during the past period not to fulfill its commitments in the first phase of the agreement, but rather conditioned the transition to the second phase on the delivery of all the bodies of its soldiers present in Gaza. However, American pressure on Tel Aviv has increased to begin the second phase.

The authority indicated that the visit of senior figures from the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump to Tel Aviv, specifically U.S. envoy Jared Kushner, is in this direction, in addition to discussing issues that threaten the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, particularly the matter of fighters in the tunnels of Rafah.

The occupation speaks of the existence of 4 remaining bodies of Israeli soldiers in Gaza, which the Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, confirm that retrieving them requires additional technical teams and equipment.

If the intensive efforts to transition to the second phase of the agreement succeed, its features revolve around 4 main points: the management of Gaza by an independent Palestinian authority of competencies, the deployment of an international stability force to monitor the agreement, disarmament in Gaza, and the Israeli withdrawal to the red line.

Each of these four points carries complex challenges, making the efforts to achieve them extremely difficult, and threatening to explode the ceasefire agreement in Gaza.

Palestinian journalist Hani Al-Maghari confirmed that the second phase of the ceasefire agreement includes arrangements that will make it difficult for the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to return to aggression under any circumstances.

Al-Maghari added that the Egyptian presence in Gaza goes beyond humanitarian roles, transitioning to overseeing the day after the aggression, including preparations for the technocratic government to assume its duties.

Writer and political analyst Wissam Afifa touched on the Egyptian preparations for the second phase, indicating that attention is turning to an anticipated visit by an Egyptian delegation to the Gaza Strip.

Afifa noted that the discussion about the visit will not be short or merely protocol, but will include in-depth meetings with Palestinian factions to discuss arrangements for post-ceasefire.

He pointed out that this movement coincides with Kushner's presence in Tel Aviv, reflecting the intersection of American and Egyptian paths.

Afifa viewed Kushner's meeting with Netanyahu as part of the desperate American attempts to transition to the second phase of Trump's plan for Gaza.

He added that the firm rejection from Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and other countries to participate in any combat mission against Hamas confines this force to the realm of separation and humanitarian monitoring.
