“Within 16 days…”. What does it predict –

Hamas’s revised Gaza truce proposal calls for talks to begin within 16 days of the first phase of the deal to release Israeli soldiers still in captivity. The agreement, a Hamas source quoted by the Times of Israel as saying, ensures that mediators will secure a temporary ceasefire, aid deliveries and Israeli troop withdrawals while talks continue to implement the second phase. Mossad chief David Barnea discussed the latest proposal in Doha on Monday before returning to Israel. An Israeli delegation will return to Qatar next week to continue the talks, the Netanyahu government has announced. According to Walla News, Barnea informed Qatari mediators that Israel rejects Hamas’s request for a written commitment that negotiations on the second phase of the ceasefire can be extended indefinitely if necessary.

Meanwhile, the numbers are tragic. At least 38,038 people have died and 87,445 have been injured since the start of operations by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in the Gaza Strip, which began on October 7, 2023 following the attack by the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas once morest the Jewish state. This was announced by the Ministry of Health in Gaza, run by the Islamist group itself. The data provided daily by Hamas cannot, however, be independently verified and includes both civilian victims and members of the Islamist movement. According to Israeli data, at least 15,000 Hamas militants have been killed by the IDF in clashes in Gaza. According to the latest report, 322 Israeli soldiers have died during operations in the Strip.
