Israel's main objections include rejecting certain terms related to repositioning and withdrawal proposed by Hamas in the agreement. Israel also opposed the idea of exchanging the bodies of Israeli soldiers for Palestinian prisoners and insisted on not withdrawing from the Salah al-Din (Philadelphi) corridor — a sensitive border strip between Gaza and Egypt, which Israel considers a matter of top security importance.

Sources from Al Araby TV stated that efforts are ongoing to narrow the gaps between both sides and reach a new agreement for a ceasefire and prisoner exchange.
