The hopes of an end of the bloody fight in Gaza seemed to illuminate on Friday when Hamas announced that he had given an approval to the last proposal of Alto El Fuego, but added that more conversations were needed.
“Hamas has completed his internal consultations with Palestinian features and forces regarding the last proposal of the mediators to stop the aggression against our people in Gaza,” said the Palestinian militant group in a statement.
“The movement has presented a positive response to the mediators,” added the statement. “The movement is fully prepared to immediately enter a round of negotiations about the mechanism to implement this framework.”
The development occurred a few days after President Donald Trump said that Israel “agreed the necessary conditions” to finish a high fire agreement of 60 days in the Israel-Ahamas War.
But in his first comments from Trump’s announcement on Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not confirm Trump’s claim and once again requested the elimination of Hamas.
“There will be no Hamas,” said Netanyahu. “There will be no hammock. We will not return to that. It is over. We will launch all our hostages.”
Netanyahu is scheduled to visit the White House on Monday, where the situation is expected to discuss Trump.
Hamas has been weighing the new proposals of high the fire he had received from the Egyptian mediators and Qatar for several days.
In a statement on Wednesday, Hamas said it would be “national consultations” with the ultimate goal of putting an end to fighting, guaranteeing the withdrawal of Israeli forces and delivering “urgent relief” to the people of Gaza.
The war in Gaza broke out on October 7, 2023, after Hamas launched a bloody surprise attack against Israel that left more than 1,200 dead people. Hamas also took 251 people as hostages. And of the remaining hostages in captivity, it is presumed that they are dead.
Meanwhile, Israel’s attacks in Gaza have killed more than 56,000 people and created a humanitarian crisis in the densely populated Palestinian territory, where most of the 2 million residents have been forced from their homes.
