The ongoing fierce war between Israel and Hamas is not ending.
If Hamas is not ready to negotiate with Israel without the withdrawal of troops, Israel has reiterated that the war will continue until every Hamas henchman is eliminated.
Gazans are getting crushed due to this insistence of Hamas and Israel. The situation in Gaza has become very bad. The people of Gaza have to struggle even for essential things like food and medicine.
Most Gazans are going through starvation-like conditions. Meanwhile, a relief news has emerged for the people of Gaza. Thanks to the mediation of America and Qatar, Israel and Hamas have come closer to a big deal.
After weeks of negotiations, Israeli and Palestinian officials are ready to reach a consensus for the people of Gaza. America’s Vice President Kamala Harris has also approved this news.
He has demanded an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. For this, Kamala Harris is going to meet the Israeli minister today.
There is news that there may be a big ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas before Ramadan, which will last for at least 6 weeks. In this deal, large-scale assistance to the people of Gaza has been prominently mentioned.
American media Washington Post has reported that there may be two main conditions in the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas terrorists.
First, the release of Israeli hostages and second, to provide maximum assistance to the people of Gaza. US officials say both sides have accepted the general terms.
Israel, Hamas and their mediators are trying to reach an agreement before March 10, the start of the holy month of Ramadan.
Kamala Harris said- ceasefire for at least 6 weeks
US Vice President Harris said on Sunday that the agreement between Israel and Hamas would include an immediate ceasefire for at least six weeks, the longest since a one-week truce that ended in December.
The ceasefire will include the exchange of hostages held by Israel and Hamas. Apart from this, on top of this, the facility of distribution of aid to the people of Gaza is also included.
White House officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the terms of the ceasefire would include freeing hostages held by Hamas and allowing greater aid to the people of Gaza.
Gazans going through severe humanitarian crisis
The Israel-Hamas war, which started on October 7, 2023, has had the worst impact on Gaza city. Gazans are facing a worsening humanitarian crisis following ground and air attacks by Israeli troops.
At least 30 thousand people have been killed in this war from Gaza city alone. Which mostly includes women, children and elderly.
America has also expressed uneasiness over the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza city. Kamala Harris and President Biden recently said that Israel should allow more aid into Gaza.
Ball in Hamas’s court on ceasefire
All talk of a possible ceasefire between Israel and Hamas hinges on Hamas. This is because Hamas has not yet officially agreed to this ceasefire.
An Israeli official with knowledge of the talks, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that until there is a response from Hamas, Israel will not send a delegation to Egypt for talks.
On the other hand, Hamas says that talks on ceasefire cannot be taken forward until Israeli soldiers stop killing innocent people in Gaza.
Hamas recently blamed Israel for indiscriminate firing on people waiting for supplies in Gaza City. 104 people lost their lives in this incident.
