Retired Major General Israel Ziv was interviewed today (Tuesday) on Kan Reshet Bet and claimed that "this deal could have taken place since March, certainly since May. In August, the pressure on the Prime Minister turned the story of Philadelphi into a cornerstone of our existence. All the decisions are political, including the late entry into Rafah. There is always a political side – but when the consideration is purely political, it is extremely serious."

"We are going for this deal following Trump's ultimatum, I don't see any chance that he will allow Israel to go back to war – and therefore we are going for a full deal."

Earlier today, in light of the reports, the terrorist organization Hamas confirmed the draft of the hostage deal.

In an official statement published by the organization, it was conveyed that the movement's leadership held a series of contacts and consultations with the heads of the Palestinian factions, where they informed them of the progress achieved in the ongoing negotiations in Doha.

During these consultations, the leaders of the forces and factions expressed their satisfaction with the course of the negotiations and emphasized the need for a general national preparation for the next stage and its requirements. The leadership of the movement and the various forces approved the continuation of the talks and contacts until the completion of the ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement, which has reached its final stages, and expressed their hope that this round of negotiations would end with a clear and comprehensive settlement.
