Senior Hamas official Bassem Naim shared a document detailing how the cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas will be implemented, CNN reported.
According to the document, Israel will release 1,000 Palestinian prisoners who were arrested on October 8, 2023, but were not involved in the Hamas attack on Israel the day before.
Of the 33 hostages to be released by Hamas, nine sick and injured will be exchanged for 110 Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences.
Under the first phase of the deal, Israeli forces will gradually reduce their presence along the Philadelphia Corridor, a narrow strip of land along the Egyptian-Gaza border, and begin withdrawing after the last of the 33 hostages are freed. Israeli forces will complete their withdrawal by the 50th day, according to the second phase of the agreement, the document said.
It is also said that Israel will work to open the Rafah border crossing as soon as the agreement is signed to facilitate the return of displaced civilians.
On the seventh day after the deal comes into effect, unarmed pedestrians will be allowed to return north without being inspected, while vehicles will be able to return after being inspected by a third party.
Egypt, one of the mediators in the deal, confirmed the authenticity of the document.
