and see the scale of destruction. We are talking about, for example, for the last 100 days, the Israeli army was operating in northern Gaza, destroying the biggest refugee camp in Gaza, Jabalia refugee camp. About 250,000 people used to live in this camp. Now 90% of the buildings in the camp have been destroyed.

Most of the people in this camp were displaced into the south and some of them into Gaza City. When they go back, They won't find a place to stay, a school to teach their sons, a hospital to treat their people. Sewage system is destroyed, communication is not there, no water, no electricity.

The south into the north is going to be very challenged because Israel want to check every person and every car going back to make sure that no Hamas militants or other militants are able to go back to the north. And also they want to stop Hamas from trying to rearm. I have been moving from this journey from north to south in the beginning of the war.

When the road was completely open, not destroyed, it took days for people to travel south. So imagine now with the Israeli army in place, with the checkpoints and CC cameras,

Well, they didn't destroy Hamas completely, but they made a great damage to their military capability, and they killed the two most senior people, the masterminds of the 7th of October attack, Mohamed Deif and Yahya As-Sinwa, and the overall leader of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh.

Five months ago, when the Turks collapsed, Hamas was insisting in having the agreement saying that Israel will completely withdraw its forces from Gaza. The new proposal doesn't include this. Israel will not withdraw all of its forces from Gaza. They will have security control over the Philadelphia corridor between Gaza and Egypt, and forces will remain in Salah al-Din Road, the main road in Gaza.

They will partially open the coastal road to allow hundreds of thousands of displaced people to go back to the north, but under Israeli monitoring. These two things, I think, is very significant, very important. Hamas didn't agree on them back in July. They are willing to agree this time, as I heard from a Hamas official yesterday, that they are ready to accept this in the first stage.
