The terrorist organization “Hamas” declares that it agrees with the terms of the Gaza cease-fire / Article

In a statement, the terrorist organization said it had informed Qatari and Egyptian mediators of its decision. Details are yet to be released, including how long the truce will last and what it will mean for the hostages being held in Gaza.

Egypt, along with Qatar and the United States, have long been mediators between Israel and Hamas in efforts to broker a truce between the two sides.

Ceasefire talks have been going on for months without a decisive breakthrough. Israel has said it is committed to eliminating Hamas, while Hamas says it wants a permanent ceasefire and the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.

CONTEXT:

On October 7, 2023, “Hamas” carried out a massacre in Israel, murdering around 1,200 people, the absolute majority of whom were civilians. About 250 more people, including women, children and old people, were taken hostage by the terrorists and taken to the Gaza Strip.

Israel declared martial law in the country and launched extensive air and artillery strikes, as well as a ground operation against Hamas targets in the group’s controlled Gaza Strip, as well as stepped up military operations in the West Bank.

So far, more than 34,000 people, mostly women and children, have died in the Gaza Strip, according to data from the Hamas-run Ministry of Health, and the UN has warned of the growing threat of famine there.
