Trump set out a plan earlier this week to move the Gazans out of the territory to other countries in the region, while the United States would take charge of redeveloping it, sparking a diplomatic backlash.
“Israeli forces have dismantled their positions... and completely withdrawn their tanks from the Netzarim Corridor on Salaheddin Road, allowing vehicles to pass freely in both directions,“ said an official from the Hamas-run interior ministry.
Gaza resident Mahmoud al-Sarhi said “arriving at the Netzarim Corridor meant death until this morning”.
“The entire area is in ruins. I cannot live here.”
‘I thought you were dead’
The military said it had fired “warning shots” and hit Palestinians who had approached troops.
The 2023 attack, the deadliest in Israeli history, resulted in the deaths of 1,210 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally of official Israeli figures.
The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza says the war has killed at least 48,181 people in the territory.
The release also brought the first indication in 16 months that hostage Alon Ohel is alive.
Halfway around the world in Bangkok on Sunday, five Thai farm workers held hostage by Hamas and freed in an earlier swap wept with joy as they returned home.
‘Unacceptable’
Upon his return to Israel from the United States, Netanyahu reiterated his support for the proposal during a cabinet meeting.
“He is very determined to implement it, and I believe it opens up many, many possibilities for us,“ he added.
Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Sunday became the latest world leaders to denounce Trump’s plan.
“Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem belong to the Palestinians.”
‘Fantasies’
The Saudi foreign ministry stressed its “categorical rejection to such statements”, while Arab League chief Ahmed Aboul Gheit said such ideas “are nothing more than mere fantasies or illusions”.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty was heading to Washington for talks, and Jordan’s King Abdullah II was due to meet Trump at the White House on February 11.
