We are considering recognising the state of Palestine.”
As coordinated by the parties to the agreement and the mediators, the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip will begin at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday,
If we are forced to resume the war, we will do so with force,
The delay in providing the names of those to be released in the first batch is due to technical reasons,
We retain the right to return to the war, if necessary, with the backing of the United States,
The progress in the past few days is a very important step, but the deal must go through in full, completely, in all of its stages,
With this agreement, we will bring back 33 of our brothers and sisters, the majority alive,
Without a fundamental settlement of the two sides' historical disputes and the implementation of the two-state solution, any cease-fire could be a pause in the next conflict,
How do we rebuild a life in such conditions, knowing that this cease-fire might crumble as quickly as it came?"
We want it to end, but to keep doing what has to be done,
I will overthrow the government if it does not return to fighting in a way that [leads to us] taking over the entire Gaza Strip and governing it.”
We should seize on the momentum to commit to a Palestinian state that can coexist with the State of Israel,
The road to this deal has been not easy at all, it was a long road,
After so much pain, death and loss of life, today the guns in Gaza have gone silent,
At last the guns are silent. Israeli hostages are finally being released,
I pray so much for them, and their families. I also hope that humanitarian aid will even more quickly reach ... the people of Gaza, who have so many urgent needs,
We stand ready to support her upon her release,
Hostages starting to come out today! Three wonderful young women will be first,
Thanks to all the parties involved in this important outcome. I hope that, as agreed, it will be immediately respected by the parties and that all the hostages will finally be able to go home to hug their loved ones again,
It is important to stress that the deal is a fragile truce not a cessation of the conflict,
