As the Israeli army continues its operations in, international pressure to stop the ongoing new attack and exacerbating the humanitarian drama on the lane, it is rising. In this context, the negotiations for the hostages continued today with the agreement, ultimately, in the American ceasefire plan. This development de facto carries the burden -further increasing the pressure on the future of the conflict solely on the Israeli side.
According to Reuters, Hamas agreed to the proposal of the US Special Envoy, Steve Whitkov, who foresees the release of ten hostages (in two groups) for 70 days of ceasefire, partial departure of the Israeli army from Gaza and the liberation of Palestinian prisoners.
However, an Israeli official opposed the last proposal for a ceasefire, saying that no responsible government could accept such an agreement.
It is worth noting that the Israeli side had taken the distance from the negotiations focusing more on the Gaza business in the past few days.
Pressure to Israel
Given the above, but also the not -so -pink relationship between US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu, both in Gaza and Iran’s issue, the reactions to the situation in the lane. The dance of the statements was opened by the German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz, followed by Danish Prime Minister Methe Fredericksen and the Finnish peer’s counterpart.
Friedrich Mertz, in a particularly intense tone, commented on: “Honestly, I do not understand what the Israeli army is doing in the Gaza Strip and I do not see what is its goal by affecting the civilian population in this way, as is the case with more and more. Caps against the civilian population to such an extent as it is increasingly happening in recent days, they can no longer be justified as a battle against Hamas’ terrorism. ” As he added: “When borders are violated and international humanitarian law is really violated, then Germany must act. We have every interest in staying on Israel’s side and, conversely, I believe that Germany remains the most important partner in Europe and I hope this will remain, but the Israeli government should not do something that its best friends are no longer willing to accept. “
Then, in a similar tone, both Methe Fredericksen and Peter orpo was moved, with the Danish Prime Minister emphasizing that “we must push Israel, since the fact that the help does not go through the Gaza is not accepted”, and he should not be able to make it clear. For its part, the Swedish Foreign Ministry announced that it has called on the Israeli ambassador to Stockholm to explain the situation with humanitarian aid to Gaza.
