US media: Hamas is said to be trying to smuggle injured military personnel into Egypt
US media, however, reported that Hamas was trying to smuggle injured members of its military wing out into Egypt via the Rafah border crossing. This delayed the evacuation of foreigners from the Gaza Strip, wrote the New York Times, citing a high-ranking American government official. The U.S. official said Hamas had previously repeatedly presented Israel, the United States and Egypt with lists of wounded Palestinians to leave along with U.S. citizens and other foreigners. However, investigations have shown that many of these people were Hamas fighters. This was unacceptable for the representatives of Egypt, the USA and Israel. According to the US government, the negotiations with Hamas were conducted indirectly, namely with the help of Qatari government representatives. Finally, Hamas gave in.
Guterres: Images “are shocking”
UN Secretary-General António Guterres and the head of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, were “horrified” by the shelling of the ambulance. Both called for a ceasefire. Guterres said the images of bodies lying on the street were “harrowing.” Guterres said in a statement on Friday evening that he had “not forgotten” the terrorist attacks carried out by Hamas in Israel. At the same time, Guterres added that the civilian population in Gaza, including children and women, had been “besieged, denied aid, killed and bombed out of their homes for almost a month.” Civilians should not be used as human shields.
Israel has long accused Hamas of deliberately placing its command centers, weapons depots and rocket launch pads in civilian facilities such as hospitals and schools or in tunnels underneath – so that they are not bombed from the air. The United States, the European Union and Israel classify Hamas as a terrorist group.
