Citing Israel’s Channel 12, Al Jazeera reports that the Gaza ceasefire deal that looks like it will be finalised would be divided into three stages.

Israel will release 50 Palestinian prisoners, 30 of them with life sentences, in exchange for each Israeli female soldier. It will also release 30 Palestinian prisoners from certain categories including minors, the sick and women, in exchange for civilians held captive in Gaza.

Israel will also completely withdraw from the Philadelphi Corridor, a narrow band along Gaza’s border with Egypt, at the end of the first phase of the deal.

The second stage, to begin on the 16th day of the agreement, would require further negotiations focusing on the release of all civilians and remaining soldiers.

The third stage would address long-term arrangements, including discussions on establishing an alternative government in the Strip and plans to rehabilitate it.

The news outlet also reported that Israel agreed to return one million Palestinian refugees to the northern Gaza Strip, with security checks to be carried out by an international body.
