Qatari, American and Egyptian mediators They asked this Saturday “both Hamas like Israel that finish the agreement which incorporates the principles outlined by the president Joe Biden“. Fighting is still continuing in the Gaza Strip and some sectors of the Israeli government are pressing not to stop the military offensive.
Last Friday Joe Biden had spread a ceasefire proposal of Israel that Hamas considered “positive.” However, there was still no news in this regard. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted that the war sparked by the Islamist commando attack on Israel on October 7 would only end with the “elimination” of Hamaswhich has ruled Gaza since 2007.
To these Netanyahu’s qualms Added to this is the threat from two far-right Israeli ministers to resign if the Israeli government accepted the truce plan with Hamas in Gaza presented by US President Joe Biden.
In messages on social network Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, said that if this plan advances his party “will dissolve the government” and called the proposal a “victory of terrorism and a risk to the security of the State of Israel.” “Accepting such an agreement is not a total victory, but a total defeat“, he claimed.
For his part, the Minister of Finance, Bezalel Smotrich, He stated that he will refuse to “be part of a government that accepts the proposed scheme” in the ceasefire plan.
Given these refusals, the Qatari, American and Egyptian mediators released a statement through the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs urging Hamas and Israel to accept the proposal released by Biden. According to official data from the Gaza Strip, around 36 thousand Palestinians have died.
The ceasefire proposal released by Biden
Israel’s proposal announced by Biden has three phases. The first involves a cessation of the military offensive and the withdrawal of troops from the Gaza Strip for six weeks. Hamas has been calling for a permanent cessation. In the second phase there would be a exchange of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners. In the latter, there would be a large Gaza reconstruction reconstruction plan.
Biden was very optimistic and assured that the announced proposal is an agreement “that bring all the hostages home, guarantees Israel’s securitycreates a better life in Gaza without Hamas in power and sets the stage for a political agreement that provides a better future for Israelis and Palestinians alike.
Hamas values Israel’s proposal to stop
The Palestinian group Hamas valued this Friday Israel’s ceasefire proposal presented by the president of the United States, Joe Biden.
“Hamas confirms its willingness to deal positively and constructively with any proposal based on a ceasefire permanent and complete withdrawal (of Israeli forces) from the Gaza Strip, the reconstruction (of Gaza), and the return of the displaced to their places, together with the fulfillment of a genuine prisoner exchange agreement if the occupation announces clearly its commitment to this agreement,” the Palestinian group said in a statement.
