Disagreements between Israel and Hamas have worsened in recent months, and what are “legitimate” demands for Hamas (a ceasefire, allowing humanitarian aid and the departure of troops from Gaza) are for Israel “delusions” , extreme and unacceptable.
Six months of intense Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip have already left more than 33,000 dead and hundreds of thousands displaced, a humanitarian catastrophe and little hope for a ceasefire, which has failed despite the tireless efforts of the mediators – Egypt, Qatar and the United States – failed to realize itself.
Since Israel declared war on Hamas on October 7, the two sides have only agreed to an agreement short armistice from one week to end November, allowing the exchange of 105 hostages for 240 Palestinians in Israeli prisons.
That ceasefire was broken due to mutual accusations of non-compliance with the agreement, and due to the general inability of other actors to exert influence for a new humanitarian pause, a call from the international community that was even reflected in the resolutions of the UN General Assembly.
In recent weeks, new efforts have been made to reach an agreement, mediated by Egypt and Qatar, and with support from the United States.
However, Hamas has assured that talks with Israel are in a “vicious circle” because Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who according to Osama Hamdan, a senior Hamas official, “continues to put obstacles in the way of reaching an agreement and is “not interested is in freeing Israeli prisoners.”
In Hamdan’s words: ‘It has become clear everywhere that he [Netanyahu] and his Nazi government try to buy time and absorb the anger of the hostages’ families, showing a false interest in continuing negotiations.
Hamdan has assured that Hamas has shown itself flexible during the last round of negotiations in Cairo, and that it has only shown itself to be immobile in what it considers ‘legitimate’ demands of the Palestinians, as ceasefire for Gazathe unrestricted access of humanitarian aid and the departure of the Israeli army from the territory of Gaza, as well as the return of displaced persons from the north and the release of high-security Palestinian prisoners.
However, what are “legitimate” demands for Hamas are “delusional, extreme and unacceptable” demands for Israel, as Benjamin Netanyahu recently stated.
The Netanyahu’s stubbornnessHamas claims, is responding to her inability to realize ambitions which was established when the bloody military campaign against the Palestinian enclave began. “The criminal Netanyahu, his Nazi wartime government and his cowardly army are drowning in the sands of Gaza, staggering in the stagnant swamp into which they have found themselves. They have not succeeded in achieving their goals, and they will not do so,” he said. emphasized Hamdan, who has praised Palestinian “patience and resistance.”
Hamdan has also dismissed information about the alleged torture and rape of the hostages, while condemning the “heinous crimes” committed by Israeli forces during their operation around Al Shifa hospital, one of the largest in the world. the enclave.
“How this world, with all its laws, treaties and its legal system, can coexist with a dishonest and corrupt entity that tramples all laws and acts as if it were above all responsibility,” he has thus declared the “official international silence” on the matter in doubted. the siege of Al Shifa.
