Hey everyone! Have you heard about what’s happening in Gaza? Let’s break it down together. 😊
The group called Hamas has said that they don’t agree with Israel’s idea to make the current ceasefire in Gaza longer. A ceasefire means that both sides stop fighting for a while.
Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem called the idea of extending the first part of the ceasefire “unacceptable.” He believes that Israel is trying to change the agreement and not follow what was planned.
According to Hamas, they worry that if the ceasefire is extended, Israel might focus on rescuing their people held by Hamas and then start fighting again later. They feel this goes against the agreement.
Hamas also mentioned that there haven’t been any new talks about the next steps. They accuse Israel of not keeping the promise to end the conflict and leave Gaza.
In other news, an Egyptian source said that an Israeli team went to Cairo (the capital of Egypt 🇪🇬) and suggested making the first part of the ceasefire 42 days longer!
As of Saturday, the initial phase of the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel has ended, and there’s no news yet on what will happen next.
Let’s all hope for peace and safety for everyone involved! 🕊️✨
