Today Cairo is held in Extraordinary Arab Council to examine a plan for the future of Gaza, alternative to that of Trump
The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened yesterday Monday Hamas with consequences that ‘cannot be imagined’ unless release hostages that continue to be held in Gauze stripin the midst of a huge gap on negotiations on the continuation of the ceasefire agreement.
“It is time for Gaza residents to be given the freedom to leave,” he added, addressing Knecet, in the Israeli Parliament, the Israeli prime minister, who has expressed his full support for Donald Trump’s plan by the US to “control” his “control”.
Today, Cairo holds an extraordinary Arab Council to examine a plan for the future of Gaza, an alternative to that of the US president, who caused an international outcry.
“I say to Hamas: If you do not release our hostages, there will be consequences that you cannot even imagine,” the Israeli prime minister threatened, who was caused by hostages during a parliamentary episode.
Hamas, on her part, accused the Israeli government of having “collapsed” the fragile ceasefire agreement, which was implemented on January 19, after 15 months of destructive war in the Gaza Strip of Gaza. October 2023.
Of the 251 hostages who were abducted that day 58 it is believed to remain in the Gaza Strip, but 34 of them have been declared dead by the Israeli army.
After the first phase of the truce agreement, Israel and Hamas are formally completed on Saturday, are in stark contrast to the continuation of the process.
First immediate consequence: Since Sunday, Israel is blocking the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, where 2.4 million residents under siege are facing a major humanitarian crisis.
The Israeli government is in favor of an American “compromise” proposal that provides for the expansion of the first phase to mid -April and accelerating hostages. When completed, according to Prime Minister Netanyahu’s office, the last hostages in the Gaza Strip will be released if there is an agreement on a “permanent ceasefire”.
“If Hamas does not soon release the hostages, the Gaza doors will be closed and the doors of hell will be opened,” Israeli Defense Minister Israel Kats bid.
Hamas insists on the other hand in the implementation of the two stages remaining under the original agreement, which was closed in indirect negotiations with the mediation of Qatar, Egypt and the US. The second phase predicts, he notes, “total and permanent ceasefire” and “complete withdrawal” of the Israeli army from the Gaza Strip. The third phase predicts the “rebuilding and lifting of the siege” of the small seaside pocket.
Refusing to commit to the second phase, the Netanyahu government requires the Gaza Strip to completely demobilize and Hamas to eliminate it.
Osama Hamdan, a senior Hamas executive, denounced the “lucky attempt to avoid negotiations for the second phase”. What Israel wants, he added, is “to collapse the deal and works hard to do.”
According to Israeli public radio and television, Netanyahu, pending a visit by US special envoy Steve Whitkov, has drawn up a plan to exert “maximum pressure” in order for Hamas to be forced to retreat, including forced displacement.
The escalation of tension is recorded after a knife attack yesterday described as “terrorist” by police and had a dead, 70 -year -old, and four injured at a bus station in Haifa, a city with mixed, Judaic and Arab population in Northern Israel. The perpetrator, who was killed, was, a very rare, member of the Arabic -speaking minority of Druzes, who is generally distinguished for her patriotism in Israel. Hamas praised the “heroic business” in Haifa, without taking responsibility for it.
In Gaza, an Israeli drone fire cost two people in Rafa (south), while helicopter fire injured three others in nearby Han Junis, with the background of information that fighters of Palestinian movements have been alarm.
In Israel, the funeral of Itsik Elgarat, Homer, who died in captivity in the Gaza Strip, was a reason for very harsh criticism of Mr Netanyahu.
“The enemy who caused your death was not the one who kidnapped you, but the one who left you,” his brother threw in his funeral speech.
The raid of October 7, 2023, claimed the lives of 1,218 people on the Israeli side, mostly civilians, according to a countdown by the French Agency based on official Israeli data, including hostages killed in captivity or were already dead.
