Quest for Peace: Hamas Contemplates Truce Amid Ceasefire Talks
Efforts persist to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, with the latter considering a proposed 40-day truce from Israel.
Israel will help evacuate babies from the main hospital in the Gaza Strip and provide a corridor for anyone who wants to leave. Tel Aviv reiterated that it was not attacking the health facility, but acknowledged that there was fighting in its area with fighters from the radical group Hamas.
International organizations claim that health facilities in the Palestinian territory are subject to continuous bombardment. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu again rejected calls for a truce.
Israel continues to shell targets in the Gaza Strip. Fierce fighting is taking place between the Israeli military and Hamas fighters near the largest hospital in the Al-Shifa enclave. According to Tel Aviv, the tunnels under the health facility are being used as a command center by the radical group.
Doctors warn that the situation in the health facility is beyond critical. According to the BBC, at least two premature babies have lost their lives due to lack of adequate medical care. Israel promised today to evacuate 37 babies from Al-Shifa, which they believe are most at risk. Where and how they will be brought out is not yet clear.
The WHO said it had lost contact with its contacts in Al-Shifa and again called for an immediate ceasefire. According to the Gaza Strip Health Ministry, there are still 1,500 patients at the hospital along with 1,500 medical staff and between 15,000 and 20,000 people who have sought refuge there. According to the United Nations, the organization's offices, where there are thousands of civilians, have come under fire. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated that the goal is for Israel to take control of security in Gaza for an indefinite period of time.
"We will not stop until the mission is accomplished. The war against Hamas-Islamic State continues and has one goal - victory. The Israeli army has completed the siege of the Gaza Strip, now the fighting is in Gaza City, near Al-Shifa Hospital."
Thousands of Palestinians continue to move south, hoping for more security. The Rafah border crossing, which remained closed yesterday, is expected to be opened today and the passage of trucks with humanitarian aid is expected to begin.
In dozens of cities around the world, marches were held in defense of the Palestinians. More than 300,000 people took part in the march in London, according to police data. A total of 126 people were detained in various incidents during the pro-Palestinian marches. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak condemned the "completely unacceptable scenes of violence" as well as those who chanted anti-Semitic slogans and praised Hamas.
