Are Israel, Hamas entering the second phase of the ceasefire?
Al Jazeera
Israel has kept attacking Gaza during the first phase, so what will the second phase bring?
Hamas is expected to hand over the body of the last Israeli captive held in Gaza in the coming days and has commented that it would be open to discussing “freezing” its weapons to facilitate entering the second phase of the ceasefire.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that the second phase would be challenging to achieve but that it could begin as soon as this month.
However, Israel has been attacking Gaza throughout the first phase, killing at least 360 Palestinians, and still restricts the entry of aid, with quantities allowed in far below what was agreed.
So, how has phase one of the ceasefire gone? And what are the chances of it continuing into phase two?
Here’s what we know.
