The Qatari newspaper Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed reported Thursday on the implementation timeline for the ceasefire agreement and hostage deal, constituting the first phase of the Trump plan. Sources involved in negotiations in Sharm el-Sheikh stated the timeline will begin with an official Israeli government announcement at noon, publication of release lists, and a map of the IDF withdrawal in the first phase.
A Hamas source said Friday will open the door in Israel for appeals to the High Court of Justice. According to the source, the territorial withdrawal is scheduled to begin Thursday evening, according to the map. The source added that Saturday will see continued withdrawal from populated areas in the Gaza Strip.
Following this, according to the report, terror organizations will begin preparing living hostages for release and the bodies they can hand over. In this framework, Sunday is expected to see United States President Donald Trump arrive in the Middle East to announce the halt of the war in Gaza. Subsequently, the hostage release process and prisoner release will begin on Monday, under the supervision of Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and the US.
According to the Hamas source, Israel is scheduled to release terrorists and bodies of terrorists, including Nukhba terrorists, starting Monday. Additionally, it was reported that crossings to the Gaza Strip will open fully, with 400 trucks entering daily. It was further claimed that this number will increase to 600 or more in subsequent days.
The source in the organization stated negotiations on the second phase of the Trump plan will begin immediately, with the goal of discussing the completion of the withdrawal and securing a permanent ceasefire.
