A poll published by the Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom revealed that 70% of Israelis support completing the prisoner exchange deal in all its phases. Additionally, 59% of supporters of Likud, Religious Zionism, and Shas parties expressed their approval of the deal.

The newspaper highlighted that 52% of Israelis believe the success of the exchange deal is attributed to former US President Donald Trump. Meanwhile, 17% of the survey participants stated their support for resuming the war after the completion of the deal’s first phase.

It is worth noting that a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip came into effect on Sunday, January 19. The agreement renewed hope for ending Israeli aggression and the genocidal war waged on Gaza for the past 15 months. The prolonged conflict resulted in tens of thousands of martyrs, injured individuals, missing persons, and detainees, while also displacing many residents of Gaza.

In the first prisoner exchange after the implementation of the ceasefire agreement, Hamas released three Israeli female captives, and in return, "Israel" freed 90 Palestinian prisoners and detainees on January 20.

The second prisoner exchange round taking place on the seventh day of the agreement will see the release of four Israeli female captives in exchange for 120 Palestinian detainees, a senior source within the Resistance leadership told Al Mayadeen on Monday.

Separately, the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, announced that the second phase of the prisoner exchange will take place as scheduled next Saturday, January 25.

The first and second days of implementing the ceasefire agreement in Gaza proceeded well in terms of prisoner exchanges and the entry of humanitarian aid to the strip, the source confirmed.

The source, however, highlighted "several Israeli violations of the agreement, including surveillance drone activity and shootings targeting civilians," warning that such breaches, particularly the shootings, put the agreement at risk.

The ceasefire agreement in Gaza between the Palestinian Resistance and the Israeli occupation came into effect on Sunday, January 19, 2025. However, the occupation breached the agreement shortly thereafter, resulting in fatalities and injuries.

Since the ceasefire took effect, hundreds of trucks loaded with food and medical supplies have reached the Rafah border crossing in preparation for entry into the Gaza Strip.

According to the terms obtained by Al Mayadeen, the agreement stipulates the entry of 600 aid trucks daily as part of a humanitarian protocol overseen by Qatar, alongside the delivery of 200,000 tents and 60,000 caravans for urgent shelter needs.
