At least 31 Palestinians died yesterday and more than 120 were injured by an Israeli army against people who were heading for a distribution of aid aid yesterday, according to the Reuters news agency, referring to a “blow to the Humanitarian Aid Center”.

This organization is criticized by the UN, which has repeatedly made it clear that it does not intend to work with it because it does not adhere to its humanitarian principles.

Civil protection in the Gaza Strip giving newer evidence of the report of victims from the fire of the Israeli army speaks of at least 22 deaths and more than 120 injured.

“The number of witnesses in the massacre near the US Aid Center in Rafa is increasing to at least 22, with more than 120 injured, including children,” Civil Protection spokesman Mahmoud Basal told the French Agency.

“They were taken by civilian protection workshops, as well as by people who used carts who used to remove the wounded and witnesses,” at Nasser’s Nasser Hospital, Han Junis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, clarified.

The development was announced a few hours after Hamas announced, yesterday night, that it had submitted its response to the US proposal to declare a new ceasefire, Washington described it as “completely unacceptable”, seeing step back.

In a statement released yesterday, the Palestinian Islamist movement informed that he “submitted his response to the latest proposal by the American envoy” to the Middle East Steve Witkov.

Earlier in the week, Washington assured that the proposal was already approved by the Israeli government, and US President Donald Trump assured Friday that the two sides were “very close” to a new deal.

On the same day, Israeli defense minister, Israel Kats, said in Hamas that he would either accept the US proposal, which provides for a ceasefire, the release of hostages that had been abducted during the attack on October 7, 2023 and in return.

As it continues the war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Israel is now confronted with increasing pressure to put an end to its operations in the conflict, as the humanitarian situation is disastrous for civilians.

The absolute blockade of the Thylakos from March 2nd and for more than two months, although partly relaxed last week, has caused generalized shortages of food, medicines and other essentials.

Hamas explained that in her announcement on the proposal that “ten prisoners in life (…) held by the resistance would be released, and additional 18 corpses will be returned, in return for Israeli agreed numbers”.

Of the 251 people who were abducted on October 7, 2023 in southern Israel, in the Gaza Strip there are 57 left, but at least 34 of them are dead, according to Israeli authorities. Hamas still has the Israeli Soldier who had been killed in 2014 in a previous war in the pocket.

Hamas’s answer “is completely unacceptable and all he does is that it goes back,” Mr Whitkov commented via X yesterday.

“Hamas should accept the framework proposal we made as a basis for talks that we can start immediately next week,” he added without any more details.

The Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu also described Hamas’ answer as “unacceptable”, considering it “backwards the process”, according to a statement from his office.

“We did not reject Whitkov’s proposal,” Bassem Naim, an exiled member of Hamas’s political office, opposed the French agency, stressing that it is the Israeli response to this proposal that “contradicts all the forecasts we had agreed”.

However, “now we have responded in a positive and responsible manner, in a way that satisfies the demands and the least wishes of our people,” added Hamas PG member. He clarified that the Movement is calling for a 60 -day ceasefire agreement to be observed by Israel and that it will be accompanied by a mass flow of humanitarian aid to the pocket, as well as negotiations to end the war.

He also denounced Washington for a biased attitude, wondering rhetorically because “one place is always perfectly in favor of another.”

On May 19th, Mr Netanyahu stated that he would not exclude an agreement that would provide for the end of the war, but added that it would have to include Hamas’ exile and the “complete disarmament” of the Gaza Strip.

These are claims that have been repeatedly rejected by the Palestinian Islamist movement in power in the pocket since 2007.

According to two sources aware of this, the US proposal predicts that the truce for 60 days can be expanded for another ten, reaching 70 days, and that Hamas will return to Israel 5 living hostages and 9 bodies in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners.

The unprecedented Hamas fighters’ raid in southern Israel on October 7, 2023, the warrior of the war, claimed the lives of 1,218 people on the Israeli side, most of the civilians, according to a countdown by the French Agency based on official data.

Over 54,321 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have been killed in large -scale military retaliation operations since the latest data from the Hamas Government Ministry of Health in Gaza, which are reliably characterized by the United Nations.

Indirect negotiations on new truce and as it is hoped for the end of the war have not yet been fruitful after the Israeli army resumed its operations in mid -March, ending a two -month truce. The Israeli army escalated in mid -May the attack, with a publicly proclaimed goal of “control” the “all” Palestinian pocket.
