Cairo:
Hamas senior official said that a fresh stage of Gaza ceasefire has begun on Tuesday in Qatar, Thursday, during which the Palestinian movement is approaching “positive and responsible.”
“A new stage of ceasefire talks began today,” Abdul Rahman Stadid said in a statement. “Our movement is positive and responsible for these negotiations.”
Israel also sent a team of negotiators to extend the crumbly ceasefire in Gaza, but has not yet commented on the talks.
“We hope that the current stage of the talks leads to tangible progress, starting the beginning of the second round,” said Stedid.
He also expressed hope that the Middle Eastern envoy Steve Witkoff will help “initiate talks on the second phase of the ceasefire agreement.”
“The US administration is responsible for the occupied (Israeli) government with unattractive support.”
The first 42-day stage of the ceasefire ended in early March, without agreement on further stages, which was planned to ensure the war, which broke out on October 7, attacked Israel.
There are different views on how to continue that Hamas is looking forward to negotiating for the next stage, while Israel wants to extend the first round.
Hamas accused Israel of transfaging the ceasefire, expressing a statement in the statement on Monday that Israel refuses to start the second stage, revealing its intentions to stop. “
Before the current round of the talks, Israel has stopped supplying electricity to the only dismantling factory of Gaza, one step Hamas was convicted as “cheap and unacceptable blackmail.”
Israel has already suspended Gaza deliveries in a ceasefire deadlock.
“The flow of food, medicines, fuel and basic assistance denies the rise in food prices and a severe lack of medical supplies, sharpen the humanitarian crisis in Gaza,” said Hamas separately.
The preliminary stage of the ceasefire petitioned by Qatar, Egypt and the United States began to reduce hostilities for more than 15 months after ruthless battles, which displaced by almost all countries of Gaza.
– Air strikes in Gaza –
Before the fate of the ceasefire remains uncertain, both sides have largely abstained from universal military operations.
However, in recent days, Israel has conducted strikes to militants in Gaza.
On Tuesday, Israel’s airstrike killed four men in Gaza, according to the Civil Defense Agency.
Israeli troops say that his air forces have hit “several terrorists who are dealing with suspicious activities, posing a threat to IDF (Israeli) troops.
During the first stage of the ceasefire, 25 Israeli victims and eight bodies were exchanged for 3,800 Israeli Palestinians.
The attack on October 7, 2023, led to death of 1,218 people on the side of Israel, while Israel’s retaliatory actions were killed at least 48,50.503 people in Gaza, according to civilians.
In recent days, US hostage envoy Adam Bohler held unprecedented direct talks with Hamas and said that more prisoners are expected to have more prisoners.
But US Secretary of State Marco Rubions spoke about the prospects of the prospects of the breakthrough.
“It was quite a situation in which our special envoys of hostages, whose work was to be released, had the opportunity to talk directly to those people and allowed it to pay attention to that.
“It simply came to our notice then. But that doesn’t mean he’s wrong to try. “
