There are still strong disagreements between the families of Gaza prisoners and Ben Gvir during a session of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Security Committee. The UN human rights rapporteur: “The situation in Gaza is still very difficult and there is nothing left for the displaced to return to.” “The aid trucks are arriving, but the quantities are insufficient and there is a lack of temporary housing.” “The displaced returning to the north need basic necessities, especially shelter tents.” “The countries sponsoring the agreement must ensure the arrival of 6,000 temporary shelters as agreed.”
President Joseph Aoun, on January 28, conducted tough and lengthy negotiations with the foreign leaders concerned and asked the new American administration and the French to pressure Israel to withdraw within the 60-day period, while the latter insisted on extending until the end of next March, which eventually led to February 18 being set as the date for the withdrawal. Aoun asked the Americans to confirm their commitment to follow up on the issue of the 11 Lebanese prisoners and to work to free them before February 18. The 11 are resistance fighters who were captured during the war.
Meanwhile, Israeli media reported the words of the former commander of the Israeli operations division: “The Israeli army in southern Lebanon is in a confused situation and its shootings against civilians are very serious.”
The IDF said in a statement: “Northern Command troops continue to operate to remove terrorist threats and infrastructure in southern Lebanon, in accordance with the agreements between Israel and Lebanon, despite Hezbollah’s attempts to return to southern Lebanon.”
