Israel is avoiding the implementation of the agreement on the Gaza Strip, agreeing to the proposal of the special envoy of the president USA Stephen Witkoff on a temporary cease-fire. This was stated on March 2 by Mahmoud Mardawi, a representative of the Palestinian Hamas movement.

Mardavi added that the only way to implement the agreement is to start negotiations on the second phase. According to him, it should include a cease-fire and the withdrawal of troops.
