Spanish newspaper: 5 obstacles preventing a ceasefire agreement in Gaza. Israeli Cabinet believes that the number of people Hamas is demanding to be released from Israeli prisons, i.e.
1,500, is exaggerated. Hamas also demands that all Gaza borders be opened for humanitarian aid to enter before the Gaza Strip is reconstructed, which could take at least three years. Israel wants to impose its control over what enters Gaza by land to prevent the entry of weapons through the Rafah crossing with Egypt. In parallel, Tel Aviv and Cairo must agree on how the Israelis will be able to monitor the tunnels between the Sinai Peninsula and Gaza.
