The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas could launch a major attack on Israeli forces in Gaza or the West Bank. The Israel Defense Forces fear that the attack could only speed up Israel’s willingness to sign a cease-fire agreement.
The unsourced news published in the Hebrew media said that the attack on the Israeli forces could be inside Gaza, on the Gaza border or in the West Bank. The report did not provide details.
Meanwhile, in the context of concessions to the Hamas ceasefire proposal, Egyptian mediators will increase their involvement in talks led by the United States and Qatar, according to a report published on Channel 12 in Israel.That is why Hamas has proposed a revised ceasefire
Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has made a revised proposal for a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip. Israel has shown considerable flexibility, insisting on a permanent ceasefire and withdrawal of Israeli troops in the new proposal.
Hamas has expressed positive views on the ceasefire proposal offered by Israel and raised by US President Joe Biden, but demands that Israel must initially guarantee that Israel will not start another war after the ceasefire comes into effect. They were adamant about this.
However, they have now moved away from that position. They are now demanding an assurance that Israel will not fight again during the second phase of negotiations after a six-week first phase ceasefire. Why did Hamas give this concession?
A Hamas representative told the AP that they had received “verbal commitments and assurances” from mediators that fighting would not resume and that talks would continue until a permanent ceasefire was reached.
The representative of Hamas told AP, “We now want these guarantees in the documents.”
