Full Analysis Summary
Abbas on Gaza ceasefire
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, speaking through Prime Minister Mohammed Mustafa at the African Union summit in Addis Ababa, demanded that Israel remove "all obstacles" that are blocking implementation of the second phase of the US-brokered Gaza ceasefire.
Abbas said Israel's restrictions are preventing a technocratic committee — established to manage Gaza's day-to-day governance under a US-created "Board of Peace" — from entering and functioning.
He argued that lifting those restrictions is essential to maintain services, coordinate humanitarian aid and speed recovery.
He warned that these obstacles are undermining the deal's sustainability and that committee members remain stranded in Egypt despite a partial reopening of Rafah.
Coverage Differences
Detail emphasis
France 24 emphasizes the US-created institutional structure (a “Board of Peace”), the technocratic committee and specific conditions from international envoy Nickolay Mladenov; Daily Sabah emphasizes the humanitarian scale by citing total war casualties, damage and UN reconstruction estimates; Al‑Jazeera frames the demand as part of moving to the second phase of a US plan and stresses the National Committee’s role in administering Gaza.
Gaza ceasefire and toll
Abbas directly accused Israel of continuing to violate the ceasefire and said Israel has killed more than 500 Palestinians since the truce began in October, a surge of deaths he warned threatens the durability of the deal.
Daily Sabah reported that Palestinian authorities put total war casualties at more than 72,000 dead and 171,000 wounded.
Daily Sabah said some 90% of civilian infrastructure was damaged.
The U.N. estimates reconstruction at about $70 billion.
Abbas used the AU platform to say recent killings in Gaza are jeopardizing phase two even as international actors discuss procedures to implement it.
Coverage Differences
Casualty figures
France 24 and Al‑Jazeera both quote Abbas saying "more than 500 Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire began," while Daily Sabah additionally reports much larger total war casualty figures and damage estimates from Palestinian authorities and the U.N.; the sources thus differ on the scope context they present (recent deaths since the truce versus cumulative war toll and reconstruction cost).
Phase-two Gaza plan
The second phase Abbas referenced, which the UN has endorsed and which the United States said in mid‑January it was moving toward, envisions a phased Israeli withdrawal, Hamas disarmament, deployment of an international stabilization force and a technocratic administration to manage Gaza’s institutions.
France 24 notes Hamas has called disarmament a red line.
Al‑Jazeera links the U.S. move to the plan associated with then‑President Donald Trump and says the National Committee has signalled that handing over institutions could pave the way for transitional management.
Daily Sabah reported that, despite the phase’s terms, Israel has continued airstrikes and still occupies over half of the Gaza Strip, a point that highlights disagreement about whether Israel is complying with the phase‑two framework.
Coverage Differences
Narrative Framing
France 24 frames phase two around institutional mechanics and highlights Hamas’s red line on disarmament and Mladenov’s conditions; Al‑Jazeera frames phase two as following a U.S. announcement tied to then‑President Donald Trump’s Gaza plan and highlights the National Committee’s statements; Daily Sabah foregrounds ongoing Israeli airstrikes and occupation of parts of Gaza to underline non‑compliance with phase two.
Committee access to Gaza
Fifteen Palestinian experts for the technocratic committee remain in Egypt, unable to enter Gaza even after Rafah partially reopened on Feb. 2, France 24 and Daily Sabah report.
International envoy Nickolay Mladenov said conditions — including Hamas transferring civilian control — must be met before committee members can enter.
Abbas warned that continued Israeli killings risk undoing the truce and phase-two prospects.
Al-Jazeera underlines that the National Committee and statements about handing over institutions are central to managing the transitional phase.
Daily Sabah’s casualty and damage totals give a harsher portrait of the humanitarian and infrastructural obstacles to recovery.
Coverage Differences
Missed Information
All three sources report the blocking of committee entry and the presence of experts in Egypt; France 24 uniquely cites Nickolay Mladenov’s stipulation about Hamas transferring civilian control as a precondition, Daily Sabah uniquely supplies extensive casualty, damage and reconstruction cost figures, and Al‑Jazeera uniquely frames the matter around the National Committee’s administrative role and the US mid‑January move.
