“Any agreement reached by Hamas with Israel must guarantee a ceasefire, the withdrawal of the army from the Strip and a major agreement on the exchange of hostages.” Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said this as quoted by Al Quds TV. However, an agreement on the truce in the Middle East remains far away.
Meanwhile, while the ministers of the Israeli radical right Ben Gvir and Smotrich attack the announced plan hypothesized by the USA and Arab countries for the birth of a Palestinian state, the Israeli army demands that the "Hamas terrorists" leave the Nasser hospital of Khan Yunis, where the military has entered and - according to the Palestinians - is "forcibly removing refugees and medical staff" and where, reports Doctors Without Borders, "there is an unknown number of dead and injured".
Tensions also remain very high between the Jewish state and the Lebanese Hezbollah militias which support the cause of Hamas. Exchanges of fire continue with Hezbollah warning: «we respond to Israel's escalation with escalation, if they force our civilians to abandon their homes, we force their civilians to leave their homes, if they destroy our homes, we destroy theirs homes".
Threats to which Tel Aviv responds, through the voice of Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant: «Hezbollah has intensified by half a click, we have intensified by a whole step. We cannot attack just 20 kilometers inside Lebanon but also 50. And we can also reach Beirut and elsewhere."
