Gaza Strip

Khan Yunis Gazatis have taken to the streets to celebrate the first phase of the agreement reached this Thursday between Israel and Hamas, while families of Israeli hostages have urged Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to accept the agreement as soon as possible in order to avoid "serious consequences for the hostages and soldiers."

EITB's Middle East correspondent, Mikel Ayestaran, has explained that the ceasefire agreed between Israel and Hamas will enter into force at noon (11 a.m. in the Basque Country). Thereafter, a period of 72 hours will be opened to implement what was agreed in the first phase of the peace plan for Gaza, including the exchange of hostages and Palestinian prisoners and the partial withdrawal of the Israeli army.

The US president, who would like to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, has released the agreement on the Truth Social network. "Israel will withdraw its troops to a line agreed as the first step towards a solid, lasting and lasting peace," Trump said, adding that "ALL hostages will be released soon."

The action has been repelled by the Gaztetxe of Azpeitia through a video on its social networks showing young people climbing the stairs and removing the Palestinian flag from the balcony of the batzoki. In a statement, the PNV accuses the Socialist Youth Coordinator of "harming the Palestinian people by making an abominable pseudo-partisan policy".

In the first phase of the peace plan agreed this Thursday by Israel and Hamas, Israel should cease its offensive in the Gaza Strip, surrender all the hostages killed and alive by Israel Hamas, and release nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners by Israel.

U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that hostages held by the Hamas Islamic Resistance Movement will "probably" be released on October 13, the first phase of the plan for the future of the Gaza Strip, shortly after the Palestinian group and the Israeli authorities announced an agreement.

"They will probably all be back on Monday, which will also take the bodies of the dead," he said in an interview with the American television station Fox News. "At the moment, a number of actions are being taken to free the hostages," he said, "because they are in a terrible situation."

The White House tenant has promised that "Gaza will be a safer place, rebuilt, and other neighbouring countries will help rebuild it, because they have a lot of wealth and want that to happen."

Hamas has announced the exchange on the third day of talks. The US Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, and Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, have arrived in Egypt to participate in the negotiations.

The Gaza Way campaign has reported that the Israeli Army has attacked them in "international waters" 110 nautical miles off the coast of the Gaza Strip. 140 peoplewere on board, including doctors, journalists and elected officials, with humanitarian aid of more than $110,000.

The US and Turkish negotiators will join the talks between Israel and Hamas today and are making progress in a "positive atmosphere," according to nearby sources.

Close sources have explained that the atmosphere of the first two days of indirect talks between Israel and Hamas has been "positive." Tomorrow, Wednesday, US and Turkish mediators will join the negotiations, which experts say will be an "important" day. According to various media outlets, there may be a temporary deal on the table on Thursday or Friday, which US President Donald Trump would announce.

Although the discretion of the talks so far is absolute, nearby sources have confirmed that the atmosphere is "positive." According to several Egyptian media outlets, there may be a temporary deal on the table on Thursday or Friday. 

There are very few foreigners who can enter Gaza. One of them is the Getxo doctor, Aitor Zabalgogeaskoa, who is the coordinator of Médecins sans Frontières and has travelled to Gaza for the second time. He has told EITB about the situation in hospitals.

All workers in the education sector are called on to strike, from children's schools to university.

He has pointed out that the attacks "continue to cast shadows at the political and military levels, at the regional and global levels." "Two years of pain, injustice, oppression, great suffering and high costs, while the eye of resistance continues to look at the freedom of Jerusalem, the Al-Aqsa mosque and the whole of Palestine," he has stressed, while praising the "courage of the country's children in confronting foreign occupiers."

The activist has been evacuated from Israel after participating in the flotilla for Gaza.

Raquel Martí, director of UNRWA in Spain , has expressed concern about the peace plan proposed by the United States.

The first round began on Monday at the Egyptian spa in Sharm el Sheikh in the Red Sea to agree on mechanisms and details for the implementation of the first phase of Trump's proposal that Hamas release all abductees in exchange for Israel releasing hundreds of Palestinians.

At Bilbao Airport in Loiu, the four Basque activists arrived at 23:15 at night. The activists and the media were waiting for them. They thanked them for their help.
