“I was homeless a long time ago. I have seen that people come on this road, sometimes sleeping on the Israeli army while waiting for the withdrawal of the Israeli army.

“I hope the Israeli army will withdraw from Gaza and that life will return to normal,” he added.

Hamas said in a statement that Israeli forces have fully withdrawn from the transit, which is a six -kilometer strip of land that separates the north of the strip from its south, and Israel extends from the Gaza border to the Mediterranean. –

From the early days of its war in Gaza, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) occupied the transit.

“The withdrawal of the Zionist occupation of the Zionist army from the Netzarium axis is a victory for the will of our people,” a statement released on Sunday said.

Israel used the corridor as a occupation zone during its 15 -month attack on the belt.

His Finance Minister, Bezel Smithrich, promised to leave the government when the ceasefire continued.

An Israeli official confirmed Saturday that Netanyahu was sending a delegation to Doha to discuss the deal. The official told CNN that the delegation was “middle -level” and “would discuss the technical details of the deal.”
