The Hamas militant group said Wednesday it had sent new 'ideas' to Qatari mediators aimed at ending the nearly nine-month Gaza war with Israel.
A Palestinian man reacts as rescuers search an apartment in a residential block destroyed in the Israeli bombardment of the al-Daraj neighbourhood of Gaza City on July 3, 2024, amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and the militant Hamas group. Israel's military said on July 3, it was conducting raids backed by air strikes in northern Gaza , killing"dozens" of militants in an area where it had declared the command structure of Hamas dismantled months ago.
Qatar-based Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh "made contact with the mediator brothers in Qatar and Egypt about the ideas that the movement is discussing with them with the aim of reaching an agreement", the group said in a statement. It would be the first truce since a week-long pause in fighting in November that saw more than 100 hostages freed and Palestinians released from Israeli jails.
On top of international criticism, Netanyahu faces intense domestic pressure to secure the release of remaining hostages, as well as having to prepare for potential conflict with Hezbollah on the Lebanon front. He has said military action is the best way to put pressure on Hamas, however.
