Israel has withdrawn its forces from the Netzarim corridor, allowing thousands of displaced Gazans to return home. This move comes amid a fragile ceasefire that is facing pressure for an extension, particularly after the release of emaciated hostages. Negotiations for the second phase of the ceasefire, intended to secure more hostages, have seen little progress. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is navigating complex dynamics, including a recent U.S. visit, while also dealing with escalating violence in other regions, notably the West Bank.
As the ceasefire began last month, Israel began allowing hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians to cross Netzarim and return to the north.
Israelis' shock at the sight of three emaciated hostages released on Saturday has added pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to extend the truce instead of returning to fighting when the ceasefire's first phase ends.
