In a statement released on its official website, Hamas confirmed its acceptance of all terms of the ceasefire. According to Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas, this information was given in a telephone conversation with the Prime Minister of Qatar, Sheikh Mohammed Abdulrahman Al Thani, and the Minister of Egypt, Abbas Kamel. Now Israel has to decide on this.
An atmosphere of relief in central Gaza
There is jubilation in central Gaza after Hamas announced that it had accepted all the terms of the ceasefire. As BBB reports, crowds of people have gathered outside Al Aqsa Hospital. Children are jumping for joy. People are dancing. Although they do not yet know how beneficial this ceasefire will be for them, the announcement of the ceasefire has come as a relief to the people of Gaza.
Aid not reaching Gaza
Aid was not reaching Gaza because of the war between Israel and Hamas. In fact, on Monday Israel closed off the Kerem Shalom route for aid to reach Gaza. Israel’s argument was that Hamas had fired rockets here the day before, killing 4 Israeli soldiers. This route was closed for this reason. However, when the aid did not reach Gaza, US President Joe Biden spoke to Netanyahu and assured that Israel would soon open the route. Biden said Netanyahu agreed to open this route for humanitarian aid.
