The Palestinian Islamic Jihad-affiliated TV channel Palestine Al-Youm reports that an announcement is expected today on an agreement regarding the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire.
The report appears to refer to an agreement between Hamas and the mediators, which would still require Israeli approval to take effect.
According to the channel, the agreement would include Hamas placing its heavy weapons into storage rather than destroying them. It does not specify which party would take custody of the weapons.
The terror group’s light weapons are not mentioned in the report.
The report adds that the agreement would make the issue of the weapons contingent on a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and an end to targeted killings and military strikes in the Strip.
Based on past negotiations, Israel is unlikely to accept these conditions.
