Hamas officials said on Monday, August 18th that they would accept a proposal for a Gaza ceasefire contract, which includes half of the 50 Israeli hostages, 20, still alive, as part of the contract to end the war.
“The Hamas movement and Palestinian factions have communicated approval of the proposal presented by the Egyptian and Qatar mediators yesterday,” the terrorist group said in a statement. According to In the time of Israel.
After the agreement was reported, Israeli officials told the Times that Jerusalem had received Hamas’ latest proposal, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejecting Hamas’ response, indicating that Israel is moving forward with plans to take over the largest city in Palestinian Encareeve and move its population to the south. “We can clearly see Hamas being under a lot of pressure,” Netanyahu said.
Israel kills 30 Palestinians across Gaza
As Hamas agreed to a ceasefire, Israel slammed Gaza and killed at least 30 Palestinians throughout the strip as the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) strengthened their attacks on the strip. It has been reported. For now, the Jewish state is likely to continue its plans to seize and forcefully drive up to one million Palestinians, the communications agency added.
The proposals from Egypt and Qatar were proposed by US envoy Steve Witkov in June, which has recently been held in Cairo and are said to be based on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on Sunday to cooperate in building the fight on Sunday with Israel’s biggest protests.
Netanyahu criticized the massive street protests against the handling of the Gaza War and the failure to secure the release of the remaining hostages, claiming that protesters were offering comfort to Hamas’ position in the negotiations.
“We have to… defeat Hamas.”
In words that appear to have rejected a peace agreement with Hamas, Netanyahu said, “In order to advance the release of hostages, we must finish our work and defeat Hamas, in order to ensure that Gaza poses no longer a threat to Israel.”
Since the start of the war in Gaza, more than 658,000 children have resigned from schools, and more than 90% of the enclave’s educational facilities have been damaged or destroyed, according to the United Nations.
