On the edge of the world: the Gas deal ran into problems on the very first day

Disputes over the transfer of the bodies of the dead hostages and the disarmament of Hamas threaten to undermine the compromise reached.

Earlier, on October 13, US President Donald Trump announced the end of the war in the Gaza Strip and the release of Israeli hostages by the Hamas movement. According to him, representatives of the Palestinian movement will implement the disarmament plan.

Later, at the Sharm el-Sheikh summit, representatives of Egypt, the United States, Qatar and Turkey signed an agreement to end the conflict in the Gaza Strip. According to Trump, this Gas deal is "the largest and most complex." He also added that the third world war in the Middle East will not start because no one wants it.

On October 16, Netanyahu said that Israel would continue to fight the Palestinian Hamas movement until it was eliminated. Netanyahu promised that Israel would return the remaining hostages and achieve "all the goals of the war," which include the destruction of Hamas.
