An unclear fate of the temporary truce in Gaza
Two months after the collapse of the last ceasefire between Israel and the Hamas Palestinian Movement, the United States of America’s Vojaking Pages submitted to A new proposal for temporary interruption of fire in Gaza. According to it, the weapons are supposed to be silent for 60 days, and in exchange for Hamas’s return of 28 of the remaining 58 hostages, Israel would release a humanitarian blockade that causes the inhabitants of the Palestinian enclave to threaten hunger.
The fate of the plan under which he signed Steve WitkoffSpecial Envoy of the US President Donald Trump For the Middle East, she hung in the air before the weekend. The White House reported that the Israeli side had agreed to the content of the proposal, which is also confirmed by the Israeli Prime Minister in discussions with the hosts’ families, according to Jewish media Benjamin Netanyahu. Hamas representatives mean Reuters warned that the US plan « does not meet any of the requirements » of the Palestinian side, including that proclamation of a permanent ceasefire. « Nevertheless, full responsibility movement is examining the response to the proposal, » the agency explained to the journalists of the agency Basom naima member of Hamas’s political wing.

The last truce in Gaza expired 18. March, an agreement made up of several phases helped by the administration of the then US President Joe’s Bidnbut in the end, he failed to convince the strikes of establishing a permanent interruption of fire.
Representatives of the extreme Palestinian movement insisted in the negotiations so far that any interruption of the fire should include the commitment of Israel of the end of two and a half years of bloody offensive and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza. The Netanjahu government, meanwhile, conditioned the end of the fighting with the disarmament of Hamas, the withdrawals of its members from the Palestinian enclave and the return of hostages covered by the movement during the seven ox attack on the Jewish state in 2023. corresponded to the definition of ethnic cleaning.
The most hungry place in the world
According to analysts, the latest US proposal for Israel is acceptable because it does not commit it to the end of the war after the expiry of the 60-day ceasefire. The announced inclusion of the commitment to release the humanitarian blockage of Gaza would, in all likelihood, at least slightly reduce international pressure on the Netanyahu government.
The seriousness of the situation in the Palestinian enclava is warned every day by the United Nations and Human Ladds. « Gaza is the most hungry place in the world, » he said today Jens Laerkea spokesman for the UN Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Activities (OCHA), saying that this is the only known area in the world where the entire population is threatened by hunger, and attributed the responsibility to Israel, who supplies « food in the enclaves ».

According to the proposed truce, humanitarian aid is supposed to be delivered to the United Nations agencies, a red crescent and other humanitarian organizations through pre -coordinated channels, Reuters reported. This indicates that the Israeli side will not insist on delivering food, waters, medicines and other most urgent supplies through the Humanitarian Gaza Foundation, a controversial private organization, which together with the United States has established it in order not to flow into Hamas.
According to all, the American proposal of the ceasefire did not convince the most extreme members of the Netanyahu government, who insisted that Israel had to go to Hamas in his war against Hamas. “We have already missed too many opportunities. It’s time to use all the force without training and destroy and kill Hamas to the last, « he reported via social networks Itamar Ben GvirMinister of National Security. No less extreme was the statement of defense minister Israel Kacawhich is reportedly AFP called for the establishment of a Jewish state on the occupied West Bank, where the Island government announced more than twenty new Jewish settlements this week.
