On the 7th local time, after meeting with visiting German Chancellor Mertz in Jerusalem, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said that Israel would soon push for negotiations on the second phase of the cease-fire in Gaza. The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement has also indicated that it is willing to start negotiations on its weapons issue in order to advance the negotiations. In view of the positive statements made by both sides, how can the prospects for the second phase of negotiations be assessed? Qin Tian, deputy director of the Middle East Research Institute of the China Institute of Modern International Relations, said that at present, there is indeed a positive atmosphere surrounding the second phase of the cease-fire negotiations in Gaza. However, there is still a long way to go before this positive atmosphere can be transformed into a successful outcome of negotiations and whether the contents of the second phase of the cease-fire can actually be implemented.
