On February 28, the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) issued a statement, urging mediating parties and international organizations to apply pressure on Israel to cease its operations in the Gaza Strip and initiate the second phase of the?；饏f(xié)議.

The statement emphasized that with the first phase of the?；饏f(xié)議 nearing completion, Hamas has pledged to fully implement all phases and clauses of the agreement. It also called on international and mediating parties to apply pressure on Israel to fulfill its obligations and proceed immediately with the second phase.

The Israeli government proposed to extend the first phase of the?；饏f(xié)議 by 42 days.

Earlier that day, a security official in Egypt informed that the Israeli delegation, which had proposed extending the first phase of the停火協(xié)議 by 42 days, had requested Hamas to release a number of Israeli citizens held by Israel in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners and humanitarian aid supplies into Gaza. However, the extent of the demand regarding the number of Palestinian prisoners was not specified. Hamas rejected this proposal. The security official also noted that the negotiation process had not addressed the second phase of the?；饏f(xié)議.

The media reported that the Israeli delegation had returned to Jerusalem from Cairo.

According to reports from Israeli media on February 28, the Israeli delegation returned to Jerusalem from Cairo that day. Later that evening, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened a government meeting and addressed senior defense officials to discuss issues related to the Gaza Strip?；饏f(xié)議.

The first phase of the Gaza Strip?；饏f(xié)議 was effective from January 19, stipulating a 6-week period followed by its termination on March 1. Hamas agreed to release 33 Israeli citizens held by the Israeli military, while Israel released over a thousand Palestinian prisoners. According to the agreement, both sides were to initiate negotiations for the second phase on February 3, focusing on the mutual exchange of held citizens and the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.
