Hey there! You might have heard about some important news happening in the Middle East. Let’s break it down together. 🌍
Israel and a group called Hamas in Gaza were planning to stop fighting for a while. This pause in fighting is called a ceasefire. But on Sunday morning, Israel said they couldn’t start the ceasefire as planned. 😕
Why? Because they were waiting for Hamas to give them a list of people called hostages who were supposed to be freed. A hostage is someone who has been captured and is being held by another group. Israel was expecting Hamas to release three hostages later that day. 🎗️
Since Hamas didn’t provide the list of the first hostages, Israel decided not to halt the fighting yet. They want to make sure the hostages will be freed before they stop. 🛑
This situation is very important because it affects many people’s lives. We all hope that peace can happen soon and that the hostages can return safely to their families. ✨
Let’s keep hoping for a peaceful resolution! 🤞
