Hamas’s approval of a deal for Gaza formulated by Qatar and Egypt puts Israel’s prime minister under pressure. US President Biden wants the weapons in the Gaza Strip to finally be silent. Netanyahu’s right-wing extremist coalition members want even more war. Who will prevail?
They keep talking. This is the message on which hope for an end to the killing in the Gaza Strip currently depends.
Israel has sharply criticized the text of the agreement for a ceasefire and the exchange of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners, which Hamas agreed to yesterday. Nevertheless, the government in Jerusalem has sent a team of negotiators to Cairo for further talks. And at the same time, tanks and tens of thousands of troops were positioned for an invasion of Rafah.
The pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is greater than ever.
