Hamas issued a statement. Willing to reach a full agreement including the exchange of hostages. If Israel ends the war
The war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip is approaching its eighth month, resulting in the deaths of more than 36 thousand people in the Gaza Strip, while Israel continues its ground operations in Rafah despite the opposition of the international community. A recent statement issued by Hamas stated that it will not participate in further negotiations. If Israel continues its aggression. But it is willing to achieve a “full agreement” covering the exchange of hostages if Israel ends the war
According to a statement issued by Hamas yesterday. She said that Hamas showed flexibility and positivity in its mediation efforts throughout the past rounds of talks.
But Hamas accuses Israel of using these talks as a cover for further aggression and massacres against the Palestinians. Responding to Hamas's positive position by invading the city of Rafah and occupying the border crossing.
The statement stated that Hamas and various factions will not accept this policy by moving forward with ceasefire negotiations. Due to the occurrence of invasions, sieges, famines and genocides. Stating that he communicated this position to the mediator if Israel ended its war and aggression against the people of Gaza. Hamas is ready to reach a full agreement that includes the exchange of hostages.
Negotiations led by the main mediators Qatar, Egypt and the United States to reach a ceasefire between Israel and the Hamas movement that rules the Gaza Strip have repeatedly faltered. Israel and Hamas blame each other for this issue.
Important points that make negotiations difficult There is no progress anywhere. Hamas said it would not accept an agreement that does not guarantee a permanent ceasefire. Israel must withdraw all its forces from Gaza. Allow displaced families to return to their homes without conditions. At the same time, Israel rejects Hamas's demands. He reiterated his determination to expel Hamas from Gaza. The Rafah invasion was allegedly launched in order to rescue hostages still held by Hamas. And removing Hamas fighters from Gaza.
The first round of talks between Israel and Hamas was held in November. This led to the release of about 100 hostages in exchange for the release of Palestinians detained in Israeli prisons. But since then negotiations to reach a ceasefire to rescue the hostages have largely stalled.
Meanwhile, Hamas's latest statement comes as Israel continues its ground offensive in Rafah. The southern end of the Gaza Strip borders Egypt. This comes despite the decision issued by the International Court of Justice last week, which ordered Israel to stop its attack on Rafah.
The Israeli government spokesman said yesterday: The Israeli Defense Forces killed about 300 Palestinian militants in their attack on Rafah, which began on May 6. It is said that there are a number of warriors hiding underground.
The day before, Israeli authorities also confirmed that its army had taken control of the buffer zone along the border between Gaza and Egypt. She said this cuts off the route Hamas used to smuggle weapons into Gaza during the seven-month war.
Israel says that the goal of the attack on Rafah is to eliminate Hamas and rescue the hostages. However, there are continuing reports of Palestinian civilians being killed as a result of Israeli attacks on Rafah. Reuters reported, citing a source from the Gaza Medical Corps, that an Israeli air strike on Rafah yesterday led to the killing of 12 Palestinians, all of them civilians. There is also an unknown number of infected people.
A Palestinian Red Crescent official is seen in the photo mourning the bodies of his two colleagues who were martyred during a rescue operation in Rafah on Wednesday. The Gaza Health Authority reported that the two Red Crescent officials were martyred in an Israeli air strike that targeted an ambulance that was heading to evacuate the wounded and dead in the western Rafah area.
While the Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that its officials were attacked through directly targeted behavior. The director of the Rafah Ambulance Center of the Palestinian Red Crescent said: There was no other person in the area at the time of the attack.
But Reuters news agency reported that it has not yet been confirmed whether the killing of the two rescue workers in Rafah resulted from Israeli air strikes. Meanwhile, there was no comment from the Israeli army on this issue.
But in addition to Rafah, there were also reports of Israeli attacks in many other areas. In central and northern Gaza Strip
In addition, a video clip appeared in which Reuters reported that this image shows the Israeli air strike on the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip yesterday during the evacuation of Palestinians from the camp. He returned to inspect the damage.
A Palestinian who lived in Jabalia refugee camp said: They fled to other areas, and returned after Israeli forces withdrew from parts of the camp, and launched a large-scale military operation in Jabalia camp.
Almost 3 weeks since May 12th. Palestinians who once lived here say that they were shocked by the damage they saw when they returned to the camp.
Israel did not stop its attack in Rafah after the International Court's order last week. But pressure from the international community continues. Recently, Algeria, a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council, submitted a draft resolution to the meeting calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. The hostages are released and Israel is required to immediately end its military attack in Rafah, but the United States may object to the draft resolution again.
This announcement came from the Algerian ambassador to the United Nations after a closed meeting of 15 member states of the UN Security Council on the issue of the war in the Gaza Strip. Algeria is preparing a draft Security Council resolution to “end the killings in Rafah”
Reuters news agency reported that the content of the draft uses somewhat harsh language. The draft stipulates that the UN Security Council considers that Israel and the occupier must stop military attacks and other actions. In Rafah immediately, the draft also refers to the decision issued by the International Court of Justice last week, which ordered Israel to end its military attack in Rafah.
Reuters also quoted diplomats as saying that the UN Security Council may consider voting on the draft resolution proposed by Algeria in the coming days, but the United States, Israel's main ally and one of the permanent members of the UN Security Council, has veto power. Or withholding the decision may have expressed their disagreement with the aforementioned project. The deputy spokesman for the US State Department said yesterday that there is a flaw in the draft resolution by ignoring the fact that Hamas is responsible for the war.
Although the United States expressed its opposition to the invasion of Rafah, there is a conflict between the United States and Israel's opposition to the war in Gaza that has continued to emerge in recent months. But in the past the United States and Israel have used its status as a permanent member of the UN Security Council as cover to hold Israel accountable for its violations of international law since the war on Gaza last October.
The latest US State Department statement may therefore be a sign of this, and it is possible that the United States will also reject the draft resolution proposed by Algeria, which seeks to put an end to the killings in Rafah. Objection again too.
