The Israeli Broadcasting Authority revealed, citing a security source, that the United States is pushing for the transition to the second phase of the ongoing agreements, even before the completion of burying all Israeli prisoners whose remains were retrieved from the Gaza Strip.
This statement comes amid ongoing searches for the bodies of prisoners inside the resistance tunnels in Khan Younis, amid increasing pressure from Washington and Tel Aviv on mediators to expedite the implementation of the agreement's terms.
The second phase of the agreement includes sensitive files related to the ceasefire and prisoner exchange, but the debate over the timing of the transition remains heated, especially in light of the incomplete procedures concerning the Israeli victims.
