More than 50 detainees are awaiting release after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced readiness to implement the agreement to cease fire with Hamas "in full." This statement was made after two days of escalating military actions between Israeli armed forces and Hamas militants on the Gaza border. "Undoubtedly, decisions regarding Ayad Fakhr al-Arati and Fadi Abu Klo from Gaza and all other experiencing difficulties will be fulfilled in full," Netanyahu stated. Netanyahu also expressed confidence that the "new strategic agreement" between Israel and Hamas, which he considers historic, will ensure a longer-term ceasefire after multiple violations of the ceasefire regime.
