Israel rejects `spin ” after Hamas says he is ready for a complete offer

Israel rejected a declaration by Hamas saying that the armed group was ready for a “full agreement” to end the Gaza War and release all its hostages.

“It is more spin of Hamas that is not new,” said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office.

He insisted that the war would only end once the 48 hostages – 20 of which were alive – would have been released, Hamas was disarmed, Gaza was demilitarized, Israel had a security control and an “alternative civil administration” was established.

Hamas reiterated its appeal to an agreement that would see hostages exchanged for Palestinian prisoners, Israeli forces withdraw, reopened border passages and the start of reconstruction.

The group also declared that it has accepted the formation of an administration led by independent technocrats to govern the post-war period Gaza.

He published the statement Tuesday evening, a few hours after US President Donald Trump wrote on social networks: “Tell Hamas immediately restoring the 20 hostages (not 2 or 5 or 7!), And things will change quickly. It will end!”

Last month, Hamas said that it had accepted a plan for regional mediators in Qatar and Egypt, which would see 10 living hostages and the 18 dead hostages released during a 60 -day truce in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and prisoners in Israeli prisons.

Israel has not yet officially responded to the proposal – a decision which said that Egypt said on Tuesday “a total absence of Israeli will for de -escalation and realize calm and peace”.

The proposal was said that Qatar was “almost identical” to an anterior from the American envoy of the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, which Israel accepted, but Hamas rejected, in part because it did not understand a guarantee that the temporary cease-fire would lead to a permanent cease-fire.

Netanyahu announced Israel’s intention to conquer all Gaza after indirect negotiations with Hamas on Witkoff’s proposal collapsed in July.

The Prime Minister said that the military’s objectives were to defeat Hamas and release his hostages after 22 months of war launched by the group’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.

Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Tuesday that Hamas should now choose between accepting the conditions of Israel or see Gaza “becoming the equivalent of Rafah and Beit Hanoun”, which were largely flattened by Israeli bombing and demolition. The Israeli army “was preparing in force,” he warned.

The families of the hostages fear being in danger by the imminent offensive to capture and occupy the city of Gaza, and wish that the government will agree immediately an agreement which would obtain its release by ending the war.

“Gaza City’s maneuver is a real threat to hostages, both the living and the deceased who could disappear forever,” warned the hostage forum and missing families.

“The calls for a complete agreement come from both sides – we demand: sit at the negotiation table now and do not get up until an agreement is signed.”

In recent days, the Israeli army has intensified air assaults and on the ground on the outskirts of Gaza City, which, according to him, is a bastion of Hamas and has declared a “dangerous combat zone”.

Hospitals said that at least 23 Palestinians were killed Thursday by Israeli strikes in the city, and that 15 others were killed elsewhere on the territory.

Doctors said two people had been killed in a strike on a tent in a camp for families in the west of the city of Gaza, near Al-Shifa hospital.

On the scene, Somaya Mikdad held a pack of diapers which, she said, belonged to one of the victims – a pregnant woman.

“The woman was preparing for the baby … It was her (due) months,” she told the news agency in Reuters. “What is their fault? Is it a war against Hamas or a war against the people?”

The Civil Defense Agency managed by Hamas said that eight people had been killed in a strike that hit four houses in the northeast district of Tuffah.

The UN humanitarian office warned that another intensification of the Israeli offensive “pushes civilians in an even deeper disaster” in the city of Gaza, which houses a million people and where a famine has been declared.

According to the UN, aid groups say that hostilities have “horrible humanitarian consequences” for people living in travel sites in “deplorable and overcrowded” conditions, with accumulated debris and waste, widespread rodent and inadequate inadequate infestations.

Since August 14, more than 82,000 people have been newly moved, many of whom have already fled the neighboring governorate of North Gaza, said the UN. Most moved to the coast and only a third left for the South, as the Israeli army said.

Many families say they are unable to move due to high costs and a lack of safe space.

Others do not want to leave after being moved several times during the conflict.

“This time, I do not leave my house. I want to die here. It doesn’t matter if we are moving or staying. Tens of thousands of those who left their houses were killed by Israel too, so why bother?” said Umm Nader, mother of five children from Gaza City.

The Israeli army launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the attack by Hamas against southern Israel on October 7, 2023, during which around 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.

At least 64,231 people have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza since then, according to the Hamas Ministry of Hamas in the territory.

The ministry also claims that 370 people have died so far during the war due to malnutrition and famine, including three in the past 24 hours.
