The Palestinian extremist movement Hamas said on Friday that he expects the second phase of indirect negotiations with Israel about the Tremes Agreement in the Gaza Strip begins “early next week.”

The first phase of the ceasefire agreement, lasting 42 days, provides for the release of 33 in exchange for about 1,900 Palestinian prisoners detained in Israeli arrests.
The second phase should allow the release of all hostages and the definitive end of the war in Hamas controlled Enclave since 2007, before a final phase, which will be dedicated to reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, practically destroyed after more than 15 months of war .
Hamas has repeatedly affirmed that it is ready to start the second phase of negotiations.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent a Doha negotiation team on February 8 to discuss the technical details of the current agreement, but this team was not mandated to discuss the second phase of the Treguas Agreement.
