Israel-Hamas News - On one hand, people are thanking Netanyahu for the ceasefire, on the other hand

Israel-Hamas News: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently clarified that the ceasefire agreement with Hamas has not yet been finalized. He says that work is going on on the final details of this agreement. Netanyahu's statement came at a time when US President Joe Biden and the Prime Minister of Qatar announced a ceasefire. Both these leaders have taken important initiatives towards stopping the devastating war going on in Gaza for the last 15 months and releasing dozens of hostages.

Netanyahu specially thanked US President Joe Biden and former US President Donald Trump in his statement. He said that both the leaders have played an important role in the Israel-Hamas ceasefire and hostage release agreement. This agreement is an important step towards ending the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

Discussion on release of hostages

Under the ceasefire agreement, priority has been given to the release of hostages in Gaza. According to the Prime Minister of Qatar, the ceasefire will come into effect from Sunday. In its first phase, 33 Israeli hostages will be released. Regarding this agreement, Netanyahu said that the Israeli government is making every effort for the safe release of the hostages.

Role of mediation

The United States, Egypt and Qatar mediated for several months to end this conflict. This war started after Hamas attacked Israel in October 2023. Since then, talks were held between the two sides several times, but every time obstacles came up. Recently both the sides had indicated getting closer to a ceasefire, but the final agreement has become possible only now.

Deadly attack of 2023

On October 7, 2023, Hamas carried out the deadliest attack on Israel so far. 1,210 people were killed in this attack. Most of the dead were civilians. Hamas took 251 Israeli civilians hostage during this attack. Of these, 94 hostages are still in Gaza, 34 of whom the Israeli army believes have been killed.

In response to this attack, Israel launched a massive military operation on Gaza. According to the Health Ministry of Hamas-controlled Gaza, 46,707 people have died in this operation. Most of them are civilians. This fighting has devastated a large part of Gaza and 2.3 million people of the pre-war population have been forced to be displaced.

The need for a ceasefire and the way forward

This ongoing conflict in Gaza has created a serious crisis on humanity. The need for humanitarian aid for the people affected by the war is greater than ever. The ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas is not only an important step towards stopping the conflict, but will also prove to be important for the release of hostages.

Netanyahu clarified that many technical and diplomatic aspects are still being worked out in the final stages of the ceasefire agreement. He expressed hope that this agreement will soon be fully implemented and will help restore peace in Gaza. However, the role of the international community will also remain important in this process.

International response

The international community has responded positively to this agreement. The United Nations, the European Union and other global organizations have welcomed the ceasefire in Gaza. They say that this agreement is an important step towards reducing the humanitarian crisis and establishing peace.

At present, the ceasefire process is going on and more progress is expected in the coming days. Netanyahu said in his statement that the Israeli government is committed to ensuring the safety of its citizens and peace in the region. He also indicated that if there is any violation from Hamas, Israel will not shy away from taking strict measures.

Conclusion

The Israel-Hamas ceasefire agreement is an important initiative towards ending the ongoing conflict in Gaza. This agreement can prove to be important for the release of hostages as well as for restoring peace in the region. However, it remains to be seen to what extent this agreement will be effective and whether both sides will be successful in maintaining the peace process. The constant monitoring and support of the international community will play an important role in making this process successful.
