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.
