Itamar Eichner - Yedioth Ahronoth:
- The head of the Shin Bet went over every name of the #Palestinian prisoners who would be released, specifically those serving life sentences.
- Behind the scenes, a real battle was waged, in every sense of the word, to prevent the release of "symbols" or figures who could quickly influence the #Palestinianscene, help rehabilitate #Hamas, or be inspiring.

At least $10bn needed to rebuild Gaza health system: WHO
A World Health Organization assessment has found that at least $10bn will likely be needed to rebuild Gaza’s devastated healthcare system over the next five to seven years.
“The needs are massive,” the UN health agency’s representative in Palestine, Rik Peeperkorn, told reporters.
The initial assessment of the cost to rebuild just the health sector was “even more than $3bn for the first 1.5 years and then actually $10bn for the five to seven years”.
Israeli cabinet to vote Friday on Gaza deal, official tells AFP
The cabinet is scheduled to meet on Friday to vote on a ceasefire and captive release deal in Gaza, an Israeli official has told the AFP news agency, following reports of the meeting in the Israeli media.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had called off a cabinet vote on the deal on Thursday, claiming that Hamas has “reneged” on some terms – accusations the Palestinian group vehemently denies.
Netanyahu will have hard time keeping government together
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking to persuade his far-right coalition partners not to quit the government over the ceasefire deal with Hamas, which has yet to be approved by the security cabinet.
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir have been among the leading opponents of the deal announced on Wednesday.
Menachem Klein, senior lecturer at Bar-Ilan University, said Netanyahu’s own allies are opposed to a deal that does not envision the resumption of hostilities, as they do not see the war goals as having been met.
While they are fiercely opposed to ending the war in Gaza, political considerations will also have to guide Friday’s security cabinet vote.
“If they cause the fall of the government, they may lose everything and give back power to the centrists,” Klein said.
“They’re trying to convince Netanyahu to make a U-turn, if not at this stage, at least in the second stage,” he added.
“ Channel 12 Hebrew: The US administration expresses its shock at the #Israeliintention to postpone the implementation of the deal agreement for an additional day. A source in the White House says that any postponement by #Israel will lead to an escalation by #Hamas and may hinder the implementation of the deal. He explained that #Israelcommitted to starting the agreement on Sunday, and therefore any change in the understandings may lead to the collapse of the agreement. The parties discuss the repercussions”
Far-right Israeli minister Ben-Gvir threatens to quit over Gaza deal
Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has announced he will resign from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government if it ratifies the ceasefire deal in Gaza, which he has strongly opposed.
“If the war against Hamas resumes with full force toward achieving its decisive goals and objectives that remain unmet, we will return to the government,” Ben-Gvir added.
Media outlets reported earlier that the Israeli cabinet was expected to vote to ratify the agreement on Friday, but there has been no confirmation from the prime minister’s office
Ben-Gvir slams ‘reckless’ ceasefire deal and calls for ‘complete stop’ to Gaza aid
Earlier we reported that Israel’s far-right Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has said he would resign from the government if it ratifies the Gaza ceasefire and captive exchange deal.
In some more details from his televised statement, Ben-Gvir described the deal taking shape as “reckless” and said it would “erase the achievements of the war” by releasing hundreds of Palestinians from Israeli jails and withdrawing from strategic areas in Gaza, leaving Hamas undefeated.
“If this irresponsible deal is approved and implemented, we the members of Jewish Power will submit letters of resignation to the prime minister,” he said.
Ben-Gvir also called for a “complete stop” to all humanitarian aid for Gaza, including fuel, electricity and water, until all captives are released.
The minister, whose departure would not bring down Netanyahu’s government, has also urged far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich to join him in resigning if the deal is approved by the cabinet.
Smotrich has described the deal as a “catastrophe” for Israel’s national security and his Religious Zionism has threatened to quit the government if it does not go back to war with Hamas after the first six-week phase of the ceasefire is completed.
Palestinian doctors hope ceasefire revives Gaza’s devastated hospitals
Mohamed SolaimaneReporting from Khan Younis, Gaza
In the dimly lit corridors of al-Amal Hospital in western Khan Younis, one of the 17 partially operational healthcare facilities in Gaza, a rare sense of hope grips the staff and patients.
Mediators have announced a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel to end the 15-month war on Gaza, and although the Israeli cabinet has yet to approve the deal, optimism is contagious.
For the first time in months, orthopaedic consultant Dr Khaled Ayyad speaks with confidence as he reassures patients of soon receiving the medication and procedures they urgently need and hospitals have been unable to provide due to Israeli restrictions on aid deliveries to Gaza.
“We’ve done the impossible. We’ve had to improvise ways to handle cases so grave in scope and so large in number and for the longest stretch of time to get this far,” Ayyad explains
Israel’s Netanyahu says no vote on Gaza truce until Hamas accepts terms
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has threatened to quit the government if it approves the Gaza true deal.
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said his cabinet will not meet to vote on the Gaza ceasefire deal “until mediators notify Israel that Hamas has accepted all elements of the agreement”.
The Israeli cabinet had been set to meet on Thursday morning to ratify the deal, with the ceasefire scheduled to take effect from Sunday, but Netanyahu said the meeting would not take place.
“Hamas reneges on parts of the agreement reached with the mediators and Israel in an effort to extort last minute concessions,” a statement from Netanyahu said. “The Israeli cabinet will not convene until the mediators notify Israel that Hamas has accepted all elements of the agreement.”
Following the Israeli announcement, senior Hamas official Izzat al-Risheq said in a statement that the Palestinian group was committed to the ceasefire agreement announced by mediators on Wednesday.
Later on Thursday, Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said he would resign from the government if it ratifies the ceasefire deal in Gaza, which he has strongly opposed.
“The deal that is taking shape is a reckless deal,” Gvir said in a televised statement, adding it would “erase the achievements of the war” by releasing hundreds of Palestinian fighters and withdrawing from strategic areas in Gaza, leaving Hamas undefeated.
“If this irresponsible deal is approved and implemented, we the members of Jewish Power will submit letters of resignation to the prime minister,” he said.
Ben-Gvir also called for a “complete stop” to all humanitarian aid for Gaza, including fuel, electricity and water, until all captives are released.
The minister, whose departure would not bring down Netanyahu’s government, has also urged far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich to join him in resigning if the deal is approved by the cabinet.
Smotrich has described the deal as a “catastrophe” for Israel’s national security and his Religious Zionist Party has threatened to quit the government if it does not go back to war with Hamas after the first six-week phase of the ceasefire is completed.
Earlier, several Israeli families, together with supporters, staged a sit-in in front of Netanyahu’s office, calling for the cabinet to not sign the prisoner exchange deal with Hamas.
“Do not sign a deal that means surrender, sacrificing the remaining kidnapped and giving up Israel’s security,” said Yehoshua Shani, the father of Israeli Army Captain Uri Shani, who was killed during the fighting.
“Come here before the cabinet meeting, and join us to ask the prime minister to stop and not sign a surrender deal with Hamas.”
Al Jazeera’s Hamdah Salhut, reporting from Amman, said there weren’t “any sort of leaks about Hamas going back” on what they agreed upon in the ceasefire deal.
“What we are seeing rather is the internal conflict within Netanyahu’s government, specifically among the Religious Zionist Party,” she said.
“This is Smotrich’s party. He has been threatening to bolt the coalition if this deal came to a vote, saying this was a bad deal for Israel and that his party would need guarantees that Israel will go back to all-out fighting … after the initial phase [of the agreement].”
Netanyahu has faced growing domestic pressure to bring home the scores of captives in Gaza, but his far-right coalition partners have threatened to quit his government if he makes too many concessions.
Israeli centrist opposition leader Yair Lapid called on Netanyahu not to back out of the ceasefire deal, reiterating his commitment to supporting the agreement.
The Israeli outlet Haaretz reported that the Israeli security cabinet will now “convene to approve the Gaza ceasefire deal on Friday morning”, citing a senior Israeli source.
“After the security cabinet meeting, the cabinet is expected to vote on the deal. Israeli ministers have not yet been summoned to discuss the deal,” Haaretz reported.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Thursday also expressed confidence that the agreement would go into effect on Sunday.
“I am confident, and I fully expect that implementation will begin, as we said, on Sunday,” Blinken told a news conference in Washington, DC.
Attacks on Gaza continue
Meanwhile, Israeli forces intensified their bombardment across the Gaza Strip, with at least 81 people killed in the past 24 hours, the Gaza Health Ministry said on Thursday.Another 200 were wounded, the ministry added.
In one attack, two people were killed and six injured after Israeli forces targeted a school sheltering displaced people in the Zeitoun neighbourhood, south of Gaza City, the Palestinian Civil Defence said.
One deadly Israeli attack following the announcement of the ceasefire deal killed 20 Palestinians in Jabalia, northern Gaza.
Gaza’s Civil Defence said that in the an-Nazla area of Jabalia, the victims included two children and two women.
“As we were celebrating the ceasefire announcement, the Israeli warplanes took us by surprise. I woke up to find myself lying in hospital with head injuries,” a boy with a bandaged head told Al Jazeera’s Ibrahim al-Khalili at the site of the attack.
“All my brothers and my aunts were killed. I miraculously survived as a Civil Defence member pulled me from under the rubble.”
Abdullah Khadr told Al Jazeera that his family had gathered to hear the ceasefire announcement.
“As I was about to sleep, I heard a loud explosion. I ran out to find the whole building next to me levelled to the ground; nothing but rubble, dust and smoke rising to the dark skies,” he said.
“I heard screams from under the concrete ruins. Some Civil Defence members rushed to our help, and with our bare hands managed to pull out the dead and a few survivors.”
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 46,788 people and wounded 110,453 since October 7, 2023, according to Palestinian health authorities.

Netanyahu's Likud Party in response to Ben Gvir's threat to leave the government:
Whoever tries to destroy the right-wing government will be remembered as a global disgrace. Contrary to Ben-Gvir's words, the existing deal allows Israel to return to fighting under American guarantees, receive the weapons and means of warfare it needs, maximize the number of live hostages released, maintain full control of the Philadelphia Axis and the security buffer that surrounds the entire Gaza Strip, and achieve dramatic security achievements that will ensure Israel's security for generations.”

So initially Biden didn’t push for ceasefire?
Why would he?
to stop those killings
If Biden cared about the killings he would have stopped sending weapons and bombs
Red Cross better not allow that
Of course they will

Israeli journalist Matan Tsori commenting on the ceasefire agreement:
- The price of the agreement is large and heavy, but it is the size of the failure on October 7
- Although this agreement does not enjoy widespread support, we are unable to reject it or dispense with it
- Serious mistakes were made on October 7, and now we are paying the price for those mistakes in this agreement
- This agreement is not ideal, but rather bad for the #Israelis and represents a collective punishment for the failure on October 7, and this is the reality, the price of the disaster in its size
