Israel’s government has vowed to press on with a military operation in Rafah, the southernmost Gaza city on the border with Egypt.
The latest round of Gaza ceasefire talks ended in Cairo after “in-depth and serious discussions,” the Hamas militant group said on Sunday, reiterating key demands that Israel again rejected.Defence minister Yoav Gallant claimed Hamas was not serious about a deal and warned of “a powerful operation in the very near future in Rafah and other places across all of Gaza” after Hamas attacked Israel’s main crossing point for delivering badly needed humanitarian aid, killing three soldiers.
בשואה הנוראה היו מנהיגים גדולים בעולם שעמדו מנגד, ולכן הלקח הראשון של השואה הוא זה: אם לא נגן על עצמנו – אף אחד לא יגן עלינו. ואם אנו צריכים לעמוד לבד – נעמוד לבד.Egyptian state media reported that the Hamas delegation went for discussions in Qatar, where the group has a political office, and will return to Cairo for further negotiations on Tuesday.
That would equal surrender after the Hamas attack on October 7 that triggered the fighting, Mr Netanyahu said. Hamas said it had been targeting Israeli soldiers in the area. Israel’s Channel 12 TV channel said 10 people were wounded, three seriously. It was unclear how long the crossing would be closed.
“We need more ability to be able to get more trucks in,” she said. “We have right now a mass on the outside border, about enough trucks and enough food for 1.1 million people for about three months. We need to get that in.” Mr Netanyahu claimed that Israel has shown willingness to make concessions but said it “will continue fighting until all of its objectives are achieved”.
