Although the final cease-fire agreement in the Gaza Strip has not yet been signed, Middle East negotiators have begun preparations for its implementation.

Ceasefire talks in the war in the Gaza Strip appear to have entered the final phase. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is today (17.08) in person in Israel to continue "intense diplomatic efforts" there, ministry spokesman Vedant Patel said. The goal is to reach the final agreement, which is necessary for all parties in the region in order to definitely avoid the escalation of the situation in the Middle East.

Netanyahu thanks Egypt, Qatar and the USA

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is counting on pressure from mediators to conclude Gaza ceasefire talks with Hamas. In a statement he thanked Egypt, Qatar and the US for their efforts to persuade the Islamists to abandon their rejection of a hostage deal. Israel hopes that their pressure will persuade Hamas to accept the proposals made in late May so that the details of the deal can begin to be implemented.

Meanwhile, preparations for the implementation of the agreement have started

According to information from the AP news agency, Middle East negotiators have even started preparations for the implementation of the cease-fire agreement for the Gaza Strip even before reaching the final agreement. The current deal proposal closes almost every outstanding issue between Israel and Hamas, said a source well-informed about the status of the negotiations. According to the source in Cairo, a special working group has already been set up to deal with logistical issues related to the implementation of the ceasefire agreement. According to the source, it is about the release of the hostages of the Islamist militants Hamas, humanitarian aid for the residents of the Gaza Strip and the monitoring of compliance with the agreement./ DW
