• “The second phase [of the ceasefire deal] will begin after the crossings are opened and the terms of the first phase are implemented.”
• “Eight Palestinian figures, including one woman, have been agreed upon to lead the committee, chaired by Mr. Amjad al-Shawa.”
• “Global sentiment is shifting toward sympathy with and support for the Palestinian people.”
• “Normalization serves the occupation and does not benefit the Palestinian cause.”
