This announcement by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has come at a time when the world is pinning hopes on Israel and Hamas on the ceasefire agreement in Gaza. Although Egypt, Qatar, and America have tried many times to get both parties to agree, from this statement Benjamin it seems that they are in no mood for a ceasefire.

Trust in America

Talking about Hamas, it says that it is preparing a plan for the release of many hostages and a 40-day ceasefire for a large number of Palestinian prisoners. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has expressed confidence in America for not attacking Rafah. He believes that America can convince Israel and play a big role in a ceasefire or stopping the war.

Palestine is afraid of attack

Regarding this matter, Abbas said that we appeal to the United States to ask Israel to stop the Rafah operation because America is the only country that is capable of stopping Israel from committing this crime. He further said that if Israel attacks Rafah then everyone will be forced to flee from here.

Israel is not ready to retreat

Israeli officials have indicated a willingness to engage in talks aimed at restoring lasting peace. Hamas has said that a permanent ceasefire and Israel’s complete withdrawal are some of the essential conditions for any agreement. However, on the contrary, Israel has confirmed its commitment to continue its operations in Gaza until Hamas is eliminated.
