The proposal for a temporary ceasefire in the Gaza Strip by Israel has been received by Egypt. Following the proposal conveyed by the Tel Aviv administration to Cairo, formal negotiations have begun to establish a permanent ceasefire.
THE PROPOSAL HAS BEEN DELIVERED TO HAMAS
According to Reuters, Egyptian sources speaking to the state-affiliated Al-Qahera News stated that the proposal has been conveyed to Hamas and that Cairo is expecting a response from Hamas as soon as possible. While no details about the proposal were provided, it was noted that this move could pave the way for a permanent ceasefire process.
HAMAS'S CONDITION FOR GAZA
On the other hand, a Hamas official speaking about Israel's new proposal stated that a 'complete ceasefire' is not anticipated, claiming that Tel Aviv's only aim is to retrieve Israeli hostages. The same official said, "If Israel completely withdraws from Gaza and ends the war, we are ready to deliver the hostages we have all at once."
EGYPT TAKES ON A MEDIATOR ROLE
The course of the negotiations that began with Israel's new ceasefire proposal is critical for ending the conflicts in the region. Egypt, which continues its contacts with both Israel and Hamas, is taking on a mediator role in the ongoing diplomatic search for a solution in the region.
ISRAEL WAS THE PARTY THAT BROKE THE CEASEFIRE
The Israeli army, which broke the ceasefire that came into effect on January 19 in the Gaza Strip, resumed its violent attacks on the morning of March 18. Citing Hamas's rejection of new ceasefire proposals, Israel announced that it would act with 'increasing military force.'
