Houston – Reports that Israel will announce a ceasefire to free the hostages are false. Although there are reports that the way to free the hostages is being circulated, the information provided by the US is not true. Reports were circulating that Israel and the US had agreed to release hostages and declare a cease-fire in Gaza.
US mediators are close to an agreement between Israel and Hamas to free some of the 240 hostages in Gaza in exchange for a five-day pause in the fighting that began on October 7, the Washington Post reported. There were reports that at least some of the hostages were likely to be released.
But the response of the official sources of both the countries is that there is no such agreement. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed reports that there had been ‘too many false reports’ in the media in recent days regarding the deal. He also stated that the Israeli public will be informed if such an agreement emerges.
“We haven’t reached an agreement yet, but we are working hard to reach an agreement,” White House National Security Council spokesman Adrienne Watson said. Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani has responded that he is confident that a hostage deal between Israel and Hamas will be reached soon, while the international community is calling for an immediate end to the Gaza offensive. He says the remaining challenges to reaching an agreement are ‘very small… only practical and logistical’.
Qatar-led mediators are desperately trying to hand over 50 hostages in exchange for a three-day ceasefire. Israel has witnessed multiple mass protests over the past few days, with hundreds of people taking to the streets in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem demanding immediate action from the Netanyahu government to return the hostages.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Aerospace Force has unveiled the Fatah II, a hypersonic missile it claims is capable of defeating the most advanced ballistic missile systems of the United States and Israel, Archyde.com reports. The Iranian-developed missile has a range of 1,400 kilometers (870 miles) despite several sanctions from the West. The updated missile is said to be capable of a speed of Mach 5-20 (6,170-24,700 kmph).
The first version, Fatah I, was unveiled in June. But the new version includes a Hypersonic Glide Vehicle (HGV) warhead. It will help the weapon reach maximum speed. In the context of the conflict between Palestine and Israel, the world is watching Iran’s move very seriously.
Meanwhile, fighting between Israel and Hamas terrorists is intensifying in the northern and southern parts of Gaza. The Israeli army claimed to have seized control of large areas of the north, northwest and east surrounding Gaza City. On October 7, around 1,200 people were killed in Israel following Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel. Most of them were ordinary people. 12,300 people, including 5,000 children, lost their lives in the Palestinian territories of Gaza and the West Bank.
