“Contrary to popular belief, Israel will not accept, under any circumstances, the end of the war as part of an agreement to free our hostages,” an employee said by various Israeli media.
The same responsible has insisted that the army will enter Rafah and “will destroy the remaining Hamas battalions, with or without a temporary break to allow the liberation” of hostages, the Times of Israel reported.
The end of the Israeli offensive and the withdrawal of the Israelite army from the entire Gaza Strip is one of the demands of the Hamas Group for an agreement.
However, the most radical partners of the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu so opposed to a permanent ceasefire that threatened to abandon the government if this agreement was made.
Netanyahu himself has insisted on several occasions that war will continue until all its goals are achieved: the elimination of Hamas in the Gaza Strip and the recovery of hostages still in the power of the group.
The Palestinian group has announced that a team of mediators will be in Cairo today to continue negotiations in a “positive spirit.”
“By underlining the positive spirit with which the movement leaders addressed the revision of the ceasefire proposal they recently received, we will go to Cairo with the same spirit to reach an agreement,” says the note.
The text also insists on determining Hamas and “Palestinian Resistance Forces” in establishing an agreement to achieve the established objectives.
The demands cited are: “A complete stop of aggression, the withdrawal of the occupation forces, the return of the displaced people and the relief of our people, the beginning of reconstruction and the conclusion of a serious exchange agreement.”
A Hamas delegation arrived today to Egypt to negotiate a truce proposal in Gaza and the release of hostages.
According to the Egyptian portal al-Qahera News, “significant progress have been registered in the negotiations” between Hamas and Israel, citing a “high-level source” of Egypt’s secret services, which are mediating the process.
Egyptian mediators “have reached a consensual formula on most disagreement points,” the same source added.
The mediators – Egypt, Qatar and the United States – are waiting for Hamas’s response to a respite of a truce presented in late April, which includes a break in the Israeli offensive and the release of detained Palestinians in exchange for the release of hosted hostages during the Unprecedented attack of the Palestinian movement on October 7 in southern Israel, which triggered the war.
In the seventh month of war, Israelite daily bombings remain in the Gaza Strip, threatened by hunger.
The attacks, which caused 26 dead in the last 48 hours, according to the Ministry of Health, controlled by Hamas, aimed mainly Rafah, a city in the south of the besieged Palestinian territory where Netanyahu wants to launch a terrestrial offensive to annihilate the last brigades of the movement Islamite.
The latest statements in doubt the rapid conclusion of an agreement with a view to a ceasefire, despite the efforts of the international community, especially the United States, Israel’s main ally.
The UN and many countries say Temer for the civilian population in the event of an Israeli attack and the leader of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, warned that “a large -scale military operation in Rafah could lead to a blood bath “.
International aid, strictly controlled by Israel, comes slowly, especially from Egypt through Rafah, but remains very insufficient given the immense needs of about 2.4 million inhabitants of Gaza.
