Israel has closed its main crossing point for delivering badly needed humanitarian aid for Gaza after Hamas militants attacked it.
The events strike blows to cease-fire efforts in Cairo mediated by Egypt and Qatar after reported signs of progressIsrael closed its main crossing point for delivering badly needed humanitarian aid for Gaza on Sunday after Hamas militants attacked it, while the defense minister claimed Hamas wasn't serious about a cease-fire deal and warned of “a powerful operation in the very near future in Rafah and other places across all of Gaza.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, under pressure from hard-liners in his government, continued to lower expectations for a cease-fire deal, calling the Hamas demands “extreme” — including the withdrawal of Israel forces from Gaza and an end to the war. That would equal surrender after the Hamas attack on Oct. 7 that triggered the fighting, Netanyahu said.Hamas didn't immediately respond to Gallant's comments.
Gaza's vast humanitarian needs put further pressure on the cease-fire talks. The proposal that Egyptian mediators had put to Hamas sets out a three-stage process that would bring an immediate, six-week cease-fire and partial release of Israeli hostages taken in the Oct. 7 attack, and would include some sort of Israeli pullout. The initial stage would last for 40 days. Hamas would start by releasing female civilian hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.
Dozens of family members of hostages held by Hamas stormed a meeting of Israeli parliament, calling for Israel to reach a deal to release their loved ones.
