Israel reduced Troops from Southern Gaza, New Talks Planned in Egypt
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterLinkedinWhatsapp

Israel announced on Sunday that it had pulled back additional troops from southern Gaza, leaving only one brigade stationed in the region. This move coincided with renewed discussions between Israel and Hamas in Egypt, aiming to negotiate a potential ceasefire in the ongoing conflict spanning six months.

Since the beginning of the year, Israel has been gradually decreasing its military presence in Gaza, partly to alleviate strain on reservists. Additionally, mounting pressure from its ally, the United States, has urged Israel to address humanitarian concerns, particularly following the recent killing of seven aid workers.

While specifics regarding troop withdrawals were not disclosed by the military spokesperson, Defence Minister Yoav Gallant indicated that the troops would be readied for future operations in Gaza.

Both Israel and Hamas confirmed sending delegations to Egypt for talks. Hamas seeks a ceasefire leading to the withdrawal of Israeli forces, while Israel insists on the dismantling of Hamas, which it views as a threat to its security.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized the condition of a hostage release for any agreement, affirming resistance to international pressure. Conversely, Hamas insists on freedom of movement for Gaza residents as part of the deal.

According to Israeli reports, over 250 hostages were taken and approximately 1,200 people killed during Hamas’ attack in October. Palestinian sources claim over 33,100 Palestinians have died in Israeli offensives.

As Israel plans for potential future actions in Gaza, it assures civilian evacuations before any incursion, particularly in the Rafah area near the Egyptian border. Nevertheless, concerns persist over potential civilian casualties in such operations.

Residents of Khan Younis in southern Gaza reported Israeli forces withdrawing from the city center to eastern districts. Medics discovered Palestinian casualties in the area, but some residents began returning home after the Israeli troops departed.

Amidst these developments, Palestinians express cautious optimism, particularly as diplomatic efforts intensify involving the United States, Egypt, Israel, Hamas, and Qatar.

The United States, under President Joe Biden, has taken a more proactive stance, urging Israel to improve humanitarian conditions and pursue a ceasefire. This marks a notable shift in U.S. policy, which traditionally supported Israel.

Furthermore, Biden has engaged with leaders of Egypt and Qatar, urging pressure on Hamas for a ceasefire and hostage release. Meanwhile, Israel remains vigilant for potential retaliatory actions from Iran following the killing of Iranian generals earlier in April.
