The agreement also required negotiations to conclude within 35 days of the ceasefire\u2019s start.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1407\" data-end=\"1671\">The source further stated, &#8220;Even if all parties were eager to reach an agreement, it would be impossible to finalize all the details within a week, let alone when one party is completely uninterested,&#8221; clearly referring to the Israeli government&#8217;s intransigence.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1673\" data-end=\"2005\">Bergman also cited another senior security official who warned that &#8220;evasion and delaying the implementation of the agreement could lead to the collapse of the first phase, preventing the release of all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2025\/01\/17\/breaking-down-the-numbers-new-insights-on-palestinian-prisoner-release\/\">prisoners<\/a>.&#8221; He described this as a security risk that could drag Israel into another cycle of violence with no strategic gains.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12527\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12527\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12527 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0333-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Israeli detainees \" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0333-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0333-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0333-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0333-390x220.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/0333.jpg 1155w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12527\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The exchange deal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 data-start=\"2007\" data-end=\"2035\">Denial of Negotiations<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2036\" data-end=\"2438\">The military analyst argued that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2025\/02\/10\/netanyahus-demands-for-the-second-phase-of-the-agreement-removing-hamas-leaders-and-disarming-the-group\/\">second<\/a> phase of the deal is significant not only for the fate of Israeli captives but also for Israel&#8217;s broader regional relations. Successfully completing this phase could pave the way for a broader agreement on Gaza\u2019s future. However, its failure could reignite military escalation\u2014something Netanyahu may be aiming for to remain in power, according to Bergman.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2440\" data-end=\"2630\">He also cited diplomatic sources who said Netanyahu is under significant internal pressure from the far right, which opposes any deal that does not dismantle Hamas\u2019s military capabilities.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2632\" data-end=\"2836\">On the other hand, Bergman noted opposition within Israel\u2019s security apparatus to Netanyahu\u2019s approach, as many military leaders believe that failed negotiations could have severe security consequences.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2838\" data-end=\"3203\">According to the same security source, &#8220;Netanyahu and his inner circle are trapped in a political dilemma, and they do not care about anything beyond their internal calculations. That\u2019s why they deny the existence of negotiations but refrain from directly blaming Hamas for obstruction\u2014because that would imply that Israel is actually interested in negotiations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3205\" data-end=\"3241\">Five Indicators of Obstruction<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3242\" data-end=\"3402\">According to informed sources, the Israeli journalist outlined five key signs that Netanyahu is systematically working to derail the second phase of the deal:<\/p>\n<ol data-start=\"3404\" data-end=\"3694\">\n<li data-start=\"3404\" data-end=\"3455\"><strong data-start=\"3407\" data-end=\"3427\">Deliberate delay<\/strong> in resuming negotiations.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3456\" data-end=\"3518\"><strong data-start=\"3459\" data-end=\"3489\">Exclusion of professionals<\/strong> from the negotiation team.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3519\" data-end=\"3567\"><strong data-start=\"3522\" data-end=\"3551\">Leaking false information<\/strong> to the media.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3568\" data-end=\"3632\"><strong data-start=\"3571\" data-end=\"3594\">Relying on the U.S.<\/strong> to handle the situation in the end.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3633\" data-end=\"3694\"><strong data-start=\"3636\" data-end=\"3670\">Imposing impossible conditions<\/strong> for the negotiations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p data-start=\"3696\" data-end=\"3896\">Bergman also pointed out that the families of the Israeli captives realize that the government is not taking their issue seriously, prompting them to escalate their pressure in international forums.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12836\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12836\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12836 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/000-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Gaza displacement crisis\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/000-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/000-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/000-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/000-1-390x220.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/000-1.jpg 1155w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12836\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Trump Revives Forced Displacement of Palestinians<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p data-start=\"3898\" data-end=\"4190\">On the international level, Bergman noted that pressure on Israel is increasing from the United States, Qatar, and Egypt.
