UPDATE: Hamas spokesman Izzat Al-Resheq denied the information about the opening of the Rafah checkpoint on the border of the Gaza Strip and Egypt in his comment to Reuters.
Israel also denied a cease-fire for the delivery of humanitarian aid and the departure of foreigners from the Gaza Strip across the southern border. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said that “at the moment” the ceasefire is not in effect, The Times of Israel reports.
Al Arabiya reported that a five-hour ceasefire has been introduced in the southern regions of the Gaza Strip. Some other media confirmed the reports, citing officials on the both sides, which reportedly agreed to stop fighting do that civilians could evacuate through the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and the Palestinian territory.
The Rafah border crossing between Egypt and the Palestinian enclave was reportedly due to open at 9 a.m. local time. Any local sources are yet to confirm if the ceasefire entered its force.
The ceasefire is aimed at allowing foreign citizens to leave the enclave, and also to allow humanitarian aid to be sent to Gaza. According to Al Arabiya, there are at least 100 trucks with aid waiting for the opening of the humanitarian corridor at the Rafah checkpoint on the border between Gaza and Egypt.
According to the latest data, as a result of Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip, 2,670 people were killed, about 9,600 others were wounded, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
According to Israeli officials, Hamas attacks killed 1,400 people, about 3,500 other were wounded.
The UN Secretary General calls on Israel to immediately provide humanitarian access to Gaza, and Hamas to release the hostages immediately and without preconditions.
Israel’s permanent representative to the UN claimed that Israel does not intend to occupy the Gaza Strip, but the country is ready to do everything to destroy Hamas, since Israel “is fighting for its survival.”
“We will have to do everything possible to destroy them,” the ambassador said in an interview with CNN.
Israeli representative referred to the words of US President Joe Biden, who believes that the only way in this situation is the destruction of Hamas. Hamas must be destroyed, but the state of Palestine must exist, Joe Biden concluded.
Last Sunday, the Israeli Army reported that it had deployed its units throughout the country and was ready for further stages of the operation in the Gaza Strip. Tel Aviv is expected to launch a “complex attack from the air, sea and land” in the coming days.
gaza becoming “stalingrad 2”
the jews in their own discord and telegram channels cheer rhe murder of women and children not just hamas they want all palestinians murdered they are far right extremists they call the pals amalek they want to ethnically cleanse them from existence
also israel did allow hamas to attack them they did move all most all border guards to the west bank just before the attack. it was a inside job just like 911 were israel and the bush admin attacked the united states so they have casus belli for war
during 911 mossad agents cheered as the remote controlled c130 planes hit the towers. we havebto believe a diabetic men who lived in pakistan was behind the attack so they could invade iraq and afghanistan to secure the oil and opium trade for israel. saddam was israels rival in the middle east
he never attacked or threatened the united states it was a war for israels interest were many americans died for. congres is run by israel. billions of tax dollars given to israel every year while millions of americans are homless and living in poverty. your government cares only for the interests of the self chosen smugs
remote controlled c130 planes didnt hit towers. i’m from boston. know ppl died in the planes
the planes were probably grounded elsewhere in some air force base, and the passengers killed. (similar to op northwoods) it’s just physically impossible for the airliners to approach and hit the towers in the way they supposedly did.
good point. the only logic left is no commercial planes flew and what viewers saw about the supposed crashes was nothing more than a special effects thus making usa mainstream media fully accomplices.
confused… is there a ceasefire or not???
are these the same israelis that placed explosives in wtc 1 and 2 and building 7 they consider all non jews animals and desire a zionist controlled world.
biden, netanyahoo, and hamas will all burn in hell for this but the oligarchs that set it up all to destroy the brics (which iran, saudi arabia are members not israel, us,uk(something worse awaits them.
ak nechcete ďalej napínať gumu, tak začnite rokovať. lebo guma môže prasknúť. a ak praskne, tak iba sám pán boh ho vie, čo sa stane. a ísť do takéhoto rizika nemá zmysel. žid by si mal uvedomiť jednu vec, toto môže postaviť židov do veľmi špatného svetla. palestínsky ľud sa bude brániť a čo spravia židia? budú ich neustále zabíjať? nakoniec sa to potom celé obráti proti židom.
