<p>GAZA, (PIC)</p>



<p>The head of Hamas’s Office of Martyrs and Prisoners, Zaher Jabarin, 
said the efforts of the mediators have led to resolving the obstacles 
that arose due to the failure of Israel to adhere to ceasefire agreement
 terms.</p>



<p>Jabarin affirmed in a statement on Friday that the lists of 
Palestinian prisoners to be released will gradually be announced by the 
Office.</p>



<p>He pointed out that the steadfastness of the people in the Gaza Strip
 was the decisive factor behind the completion of this deal.</p>



<p>Earlier today, the Israeli cabinet agreed to implement the deal, 
which will come into force next Sunday, January 19, according to a 
statement issued by the office of the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin 
Netanyahu.</p>



<p>Netanyahu’s office had put obstacles at the last minute, hindering 
the Israeli approval for the ceasefire, which ends 15 months of war.</p>



<p>According to the Israeli law, Palestinian prisoners cannot be 
released from Israeli prisons without the approval of the government 
through an official vote, and if the deal is approved, there will be a 
24-hour period for the public to submit an appeal to the court.</p>



<p>The first stage of the 42-day agreement includes releasing 33 Israeli
 captives in exchange for about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, including 
250 sentenced to life imprisonment, and about 1,000 detainees of those 
arrested after October 7, 2023.</p>



<p>The first stage stipulates five main terms: ceasefire, withdrawal 
from the Gaza Strip, the return of the displaced, the guarantee of 
freedom of movement, humanitarian aid entry, and the exchange of 
prisoners.</p>



<p>The ceasefire will be reached based on the Security Council 
Resolution 2728 issued last March, stipulating that the three stages of 
the agreement continue through negotiations with no return to fighting.</p>



<p>The obstacles that hindered the signing of the ceasefire deal on the 
part of Israel were mainly raised by the Israeli extremist ministers, 
especially the Minister of National Security and the leader of the 
Jewish Power party, Itamar Ben-Gvir, and the Minister of Finance and the
 leader of the Religious Zionism Party, Bezalel Smotrich, who perceive 
the agreement as a threat to their political goals.</p>
