ALBAWABA - Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported on Sunday that the Israeli army has begun withdrawing from Netzarim Corridor in the Gaza Strip and completely left the spot.

The withdrawal from the corridor comes amid part of the framework of the hostage-ceasefire deal agreed between Israel and Hamas in January.

Yesterday, Hamas released three Israeli prisoners; Eli Sharabi, Or Levy, and Ohad Ben Ami, in exchange for 183 Palestinian detainees, including 18 serving life sentences. 

Israel's Public broadcaster KAN revealed that the Israeli cabinet will be debating the conditions of the second phase of the hostage ceasefire deal on Tuesday or Thursday.

Saudi Arabia denounced Saturday the latest statements of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after he suggested the displacement of Palestinians to Riyadh.

In an official statement, the Saudi Foreign Ministry stressed the Palestinian people's right "to their land, and they are not intruders or immigrants to it who can be expelled whenever the brutal Israeli occupation wishes."
