Rafah, Gaza Strip- After good progress in the weeks, talks on a possible ceasefire deal in Gaza in the last few days, “The chief mediated Qatar said on Saturday, as the Prime Minister of Israel has accused Hamas of changing his” confused “demands.
Speaking during the Munich Security Conference, the Prime Minister of Qatar, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdurrahman Al Thani noted the difficulties in the “human part” of the talks.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is under pressure to bring the remaining hostages of the house to the Hamas attack of October 7, said that he had sent a delegation to stop the talk of stop at Cairo in the first week in the first week at the request of the US President Joe Biden, but did not see the matter of sending them again.
Hamas wants a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and the release of Palestinians organized by Israel.
Netanyahu also pushed back against international concern about a planned Israeli land in Rafa, a city on the border of Southern Gaza with Egypt. He said that “total win” against Hamas requires aggressive, once the people living there are empty to safe areas. Where they will be devastated to a large extent, Gaza is not clear.
According to associated press journalists and hospital officials, more than 40 people were killed in a new air strike in Central Gaza on Saturday, and injured at least 50. Israel’s army said that it carried forward attacks against Hamas.
According to health officials, five people were killed in an Israeli air strike targeting a house outside Khan Younis in the south, and five other people, including three children, were killed in an air strike on a building north of Rafa. Abu Yousef Al-Nazar Hospital Director Dr. Marwan al-Hums said other bodies were being pulled from the rubble.
Israel’s air and land aggressive was started with an October 7 attack, killing some 1,200 people in Israel and held 250 others hostage.
The Gaza Health Ministry on Saturday extended the overall death toll in Gaza to 28,858, saying that the bodies of 83 people killed in Israeli’s bombing were brought to hospitals in the last 24 hours. The count does not distinguish between fighters and citizens, but the ministry says that two-thirds of people killed are women and children.
The war also caused widespread destruction, displaced some 80% of the Gaza population and created a humanitarian crisis in the Hamas-Integrated Enclave.
More than half of Gaza’s 2.3 million people are packed in Rafah, which Israel portrays Hamas fighters as the last important stronghold.
Biden has urged Israel not to do an operation there to focus on a ceasefire without and instead of the “reliable” scheme to protect citizens. Egypt has said that an operation can endanger diplomatic relations.
Israel has said that it has no plans to force Palestinians in Egypt. However, the new satellite photos indicate that Egypt is preparing for that scenario. Images construct Egypt with Gaza a wall and flat land near their border.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Soh Shoki, who also spoke at the Munich Suraksha Sammelan, said, “It is our intention to provide any safe field or facilities, but … we will provide assistance to innocent citizens, if this was to happen.”
President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi confirmed during a call with the French leader that Egypt, according to Al-Sisi’s office, somehow dismissed the Egyptian Palestinians “displacement” in size or form, according to the office of Eli-CC, “in size or form.
Two senior Egyptian officials said that Egypt is building additional defensive lines in an existing buffer zone which is 3 miles from the border. He spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the details with the media.
The buffer zone, built as part of the Egyptian battle against an Islamic State Group Rebellion, was to prevent weapons smuggled from Gaza.
Israel has not presented specific evidence for its claim that Hamas is removing the assistance of the United Nations, and its target killings of the Gaza police commanders guarding the truck’s convoy have made it “almost impossible” to distribute it safely, a top American messenger said in a rare public criticism of Israel.
David Satterfield, Special Middle East envoy for human issues of Biden administration, said criminal gangs are rapidly targeting the convoy after the departure of police escorts after the Israeli attacks.
“We are working with the Israeli government, the Israeli army to see what solutions can be found here because everyone wants to continue assistance,” Satterfield on Friday told the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. A solution “needs some forms of safety escorts to return.”
Satterfield said that Israeli officials have not “presented specific evidence of diversion or theft” of the United Nations aid, but what is to shape and help the fighters to shape “other channels of aid ….”
Israel has repeatedly alleged that Hamas is removing assistance including fuel, after entering Gaza, a claim by the United Nations aid agencies. Last week, an Israeli air strike on a car killed three senior police commanders in Rafa. Two officers were killed in another strike.
Satterfield also resolved the challenges of Palestinians mainly for the United Nations Agency in Gaza, whose director tried to “destroy” the organization in a comment published on Israel on Saturday and warned that its operations would stop without more support in April.
In recent weeks, Israel’s army has focused on Khan Younis, Gaza’s second largest city and Hamas Garh.
The army said on Saturday that it had arrested 100 suspected Hamas fighters at Nasir Hospital in the city. Israel’s Defense Minister has said that at least involved in the detained on the October 20 attack.
The Health Ministry said that the soldiers converted the hospital into a “military barrack” and detained a large number of medical staff. Israel says it does not target patients or doctors, but employees say the facility is struggling under heavy fire.
Noor Abu Jamih was one of the thousands of refugees at Nasir Hospital, who were forced to leave in the last week. “Shooting and shelling were coming from all directions,” said Jamie. “When we went at night, the bodies were on the streets, and even the tanks went on them and crushed them.”
