Hamas has made it known that it will respond tomorrow to the new mediation attempt aimed at the release of the hostages kidnapped on October 7 in the offensive against Israel. A possible acceptance of mediation could avoid massive Israeli intervention in the south of the Strip and in particular in Rafah, where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians fleeing the war are crowded, and even the war cabinet minister Benny Ganth stated today that ” Entering Rafah is important for us in order to destroy Hamas, but the release of the hostages is even more important.”
Even today, Israeli air strikes were recorded on the Strip, while Benjamin Netanyahu continues to threaten intervention by land. The president of the Palestinian National Authority Abu Mazen appealed to the United States as “it is the only country capable of stopping the crime” of invading Rafah. In the evening there was a phone call between the Israeli prime minister and the US president, but the details are not yet known.
