Although a truce agreement was reached at the United Nations meeting on the humanitarian issue between Palestine and Israel, the agreement is not binding compared to the agreement of the Security Council, so the war in Gaza continues to this day. This, coupled with the continued attacks on Israel by Allah in Lebanon and the closure of the Red Sea by the Houthis in Yemen, has put the overall security of the Middle East to a severe test.
Cairo, Egypt, Hamas Politburo leader Haniyeh).
What is rare is that Israel, which has been attacking Gata and has an absolute advantage, suddenly announced a truce. According to local news reports, Israel, through Qatar, had indirectly suggested that Hamas release the Israeli hostages taken by Hamas, and that Israel was willing to negotiate with Hamas and free the 40 hostages from Palestine. Israel agreed to a one-week truce in Gaza and to provide more humanitarian aid to Gaza. This news is now confirmed by high-ranking Israeli figures.
At the same time, the head of the main Hamas organization arrived in Egypt on December 20, and the visit was aimed at negotiating with the Egyptian authorities to discuss the truce agreement in Gaza and the rescue of Israeli hostages. From these two points, Israel and Hamas have reached a peace agreement. However, a spokesman for Hamas's press conference said that the matter was not as easy as it seemed.
Hamas and Israel made a "swap" at the end of November last year. ）
A Hamas spokesman said that if Israel stops its military strikes in Gaza and increases humanitarian aid for the Palestinian population, Hamas will not negotiate how to free more Israeli hostages. Only then will Hamas agree to discuss the abduction with Israel. Hamas is unable to negotiate with Israel because, if Israel continues its military offensive against Gaza, Israeli forces will have to end their assault on Gaza before they can release the Israeli hostages.
A Hamas spokeswoman also said that Hamas does not currently want to reach a temporary truce by releasing hostages to each other, and that if it wants to negotiate, it can only negotiate a permanent truce. In other words, negotiations are impossible until Israel meets Hamas's above-mentioned conditions.
I fear that the Israeli side will not easily agree to a permanent armistice. Israel has stated on several occasions that it will accept only a limited humanitarian truce until Hamas is defeated. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also reiterated that as long as Hamas is completely eliminated, Gaza will no longer be a danger to Israel, otherwise the conflict in Gaza will not stop.
The Israeli chief of staff ordered the servicemen not to shoot at unarmed men holding white flags after the manslaughter of people).
Under such circumstances, it is very likely that the purpose of Hamas's high-level visit to Egypt is to let the surrounding Arab compatriots know Hamas's position and attitude in peacetime, and hope that they can prevent Israel from waging war in other areas. Hamas found out that Israel wanted to eliminate them completely, so the leaders of the relevant departments went to Egypt, hoping to put pressure on Israel to get them to cease fighting.
Hamas's diplomatic efforts, however, have been faltering, and unless a third party presses Israel to achieve a permanent ceasefire and end the conflict, the conflict in Gaza will be over long ago.
Israel's current demand for Hamas to hand over the hostages is likely due to the fact that three of Hamas's Israeli hostages were inadvertently killed by them, and this has provoked strong popular resentment among them. The manslaughter sparked demonstrations across Israel, who strongly demanded that Israel** enter into a "swap" deal with Hamas as soon as possible for all Israeli hostages still under Hamas's control.
Gaza has already suffered an extremely severe humanitarian disaster, and a swift resolution of the conflict is needed).
However, Israel's response is very complicated, and it wants to release Hamas, but also to eliminate Hamas, and even to expel all Gazans and occupy the Gaza Strip
According to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, Hamas currently sees the Israeli hostages they have taken as a "strategic bargaining chip" and will not release them unless Israel makes "special concessions." Hamas has previously said that there will be no talks on a second hostage rescue unless a full truce is reached in Gaza.
It is clear that Israel and Hamas have very different purposes and that no agreement can be reached by relying solely on dialogue between Israel and Hamas. Under these circumstances, the international community must step in and put more pressure on Israel to reach a complete truce between the two sides, so that this humanitarian crisis, which has already brought serious importance to the world.
