Israel's war on Gaza, now in its 214th day, has killed at least 34,789 Palestinians — 70 percent of them babies, children and women — and wounded over 78,204 while some 10,000-plus Palestinians are feared buried under debris of bombed homes.
Israel's war on Gaza, now in its 214th day, has killed at least 34,789 Palestinians — 70 percent of them babies, children and women — and wounded over 78,204 while some 10,000-plus Palestinians are feared buried under debris of bombed homes.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly rejected a Gaza ceasefire proposal accepted by Hamas.
The head of the US Central Intelligence Agency William Burns returned to Cairo for talks aimed at reaching a truce and a hostage release in Gaza, a source with knowledge of the issue and Egyptian airport sources said.
Hamdan's comments were made during a press conference in Beirut as a delegation from Hamas arrived in Cairo from Doha to continue ceasefire negotiations, a statement from the group said. Israel is prepared to"make compromises" to get hostages out of Gaza, Gallant said after touring the Rafah area following an Israeli incursion at the Rafah border crossing in the territory's south.Gallant's comments came after Israeli negotiators arrived in Cairo for the latest effort towards a hostage release and ceasefire in Israel's seven-month-old war.
Talks on a hostage deal and ceasefire were resuming in Cairo on Tuesday with CIA Director William Burns attending and the two sides should be able to close the remaining gaps, Kirby added.Fearful medics and patients are fleeing a hospital in Rafah and transfers of the sick and injured via a border crossing with Egypt are at a standstill due to Israel's military attacks, doctors and residents said.
The official said the Hamas negotiators had cancelled plans earlier Tuesday to travel from Doha to Cairo for negotiations after Israel's incursion across the Rafah border crossing in southern Gaza, but that they would leave"shortly" for Egypt. "I warn against a major offensive on Rafah," said Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock on X, formerly Twitter.
"Things are moving in the wrong direction. I am disturbed and distressed by the renewed military activity in Rafah by the Israel Defense Forces," he said. "We continue to believe that a hostage deal is in the best interest of the Israeli and the Palestinian people; it would bring an immediate ceasefire and allow increased humanitarian assistance into Gaza," the spokesperson said in an email.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani termed Hamas's response to the proposed ceasefire as"another manifestation of the resistance's political intelligence" and"its field strength." “A ceasefire means the difference between life and death for many people on both sides of the conflict. "This delegation is made up of mid-level envoys. Were there a credible deal in the offing, the principals would be heading the delegation," the official said.Israel committed new war crime on Palestinian lands by launching ground attack on Rafah: Türkiye
The global agency's humanitarian office spokesperson Jens Laerke said at a Geneva press briefing that Israel had shut both the Rafah and Kerem Shalom crossings as part of its Rafah military operation. The tally includes at least 54 deaths in the past 24 hours, a ministry statement said, adding that 78,204 people have been wounded in Gaza since October 7.More civilians will be killed in Israel's Rafah offensive 'whatever they say' : EU's Borrell
"Right now we have special forces scanning the crossing... We have operational control of the area and other crossings and we have special forces scanning the area," the military said.Earlier, the Israeli army issued immediate evacuation orders for Palestinians in the eastern neighbourhoods of Rafah and called on them to flee the town of al Mawasi in southern Gaza.
"If the attack on civilians was carried out intentionally or recklessly, it should be investigated as an apparent war crime," it added. Over 1M displaced Palestinians are running out of time and places to escape after Israel dropped evacuation leaflets onto Rafah ahead of an expected ground invasion.Israeli tanks have entered the southern besieged Gaza city of Rafah, reaching as close as 200 metres from its crossing with neighbouring Egypt, a Palestinian security official and an Egyptian official toldsaid Israeli officials informed the Egyptians that their troops would withdraw after completing the"operation.
The area is currently the site of intense Israeli military strike activity, according to witnesses and Palestinian security sources.A ground invasion of Rafah would be"intolerable," UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has said, calling on Israel and Hamas"to go an extra mile" to reach a ceasefire deal.
