Israeli security officials claimed that Hamas would not lay down its arms, indicating that Tel Aviv was operating on this assumption following the ceasefire in Gaza. Israeli sources also stated that they expected troops from three international countries to enter Gaza to implement and monitor the ceasefire.

According to Yedioth Ahronot newspaper, security officials briefing the Israeli Parliament's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee said,"We are operating under the assumption that Hamas will not surrender its weapons."

The news reiterated claims that Azerbaijan has close relations with Israel, cooperating in defense and technology, and that Indonesia will normalize relations with the Tel Aviv administration.

It is not yet clear which countries will comprise the international force that will enter Gaza to ensure the implementation of the ceasefire.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in his statement before the weekly cabinet meeting yesterday, claimed that they would decide which countries would comprise the international force to be deployed in Gaza under the ceasefire plan that went into effect on October 10, and that the Washington administration would accept this.

​​​​​​​Ceasefire and Prisoner Exchange Agreement in Gaza

US President Donald Trump announced on October 9 that Israel and Hamas had approved the first phase of a ceasefire plan in Gaza during ongoing negotiations in Egypt.

The agreement was signed in Egypt, where negotiations were held, and came into effect on October 10 with the approval of the Israeli government.

Following the Israeli army's withdrawal from the"Yellow Line" as stipulated in the agreement, it was announced that the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip came into effect at 12:00 on the same day.

Despite the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army occasionally carries out attacks against Palestinians under various pretexts.
