The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, repeats a demand for Hamas to disarm and his leaders leave Gaza.
Israel's bombing of the Gaza Strip has continued on the first day of EID Muslim vacations, killing dozens of people like Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shows no sign of leaving pressure on Hamas in the middle of a new round of high -fire conversations.
Several air attacks in the early hours of Sunday hit tents and houses when the Palestinians celebrated the Eid al-Fit holidays marking the end of the month of Muslim fasting of Ramadan. At least 35 people were killed in the cities of southern Rafah and Khan Younis, medical sources told Al Jazeera.
Sunday's murders occur when the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) recovered the bodies of 15 medical workers in Rafah, which was under a strong Israeli fire last week. The Acts Verification Agency of Al Jazeera, Sanad, obtained exclusive satellite images that show that at least five rescue vehicles were destroyed by the Israeli army in that mortal attack.
“[This] It is a tragedy not only for us … but also for humanitarian work and humanity, “said PRCs in a statement, added that the Israeli army aimed at health workers” can only be considered a war crime. “
In the midst of violence, the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip continues to deteriorate as Israel has stopped the aid to Gaza since the beginning of March.
“Palestinians are supposed to break their fast with a very nice meal [for Eid]But today they cannot ensure a meal: it is devastating, the situation in Gaza, ”said the Khoudary Hind of Al Jazeera, informing from Deir El-Balah.
The food in the strip is scarce and very expensive, and the parents say that feeding their families is an “impossible mission,” Khoudary said.
Meanwhile, the prospects for an advance in high fire conversations seem remote.
On Sunday, Netanyahu repeated a demand for Hamas to disarm and that his leaders leave Gaza, while promising to intensify the group to free the remaining 59 captives he is holding, 35 of which he believes he is dead.
These are part of a new set of demands filed by Israel, with the support of US President Donald Trump, ready to review the terms of a high -phase fire agreement signed in January.
According to the original agreement, after the release of a first lot of captives every week, the two parties agreed to participate in a second phase of negotiations to discuss a permanent end of the war, the liberation of remaining captives and the withdrawal of the Israeli troops of Gaza.
But Israel insists that Hamas should free all captives without Israel committing to end war. With Hamas rejecting the new demands, Israel resumed the bombardment of the strip and relocated the troops inside the enclave.
On Sunday, Netanyahu also said that Israel would work to implement the “voluntary emigration plan” of Trump for Gaza and said that his cabinet had agreed to continue pressing Hamas, which says he has accepted a new proposal of high fire of the mediators Egypt and Qatar.
Hamas' senior official Sami Abu Zuhri said Netyahu's comments were a recipe for the “endless escalation” in the region.
Netanyahu rejected the claims that Israel was not negotiating, saying that “we are carrying it under fire and, therefore, is also effective.”
“We see that suddenly there are cracks,” he said in a video statement issued on Sunday.
Khalil Al-Hayya, the leader of Hamas in Gaza, said that the group had agreed to a proposal that security sources said including the release of five Israeli captives every week. But he said that placing his arms as Israel has demanded that it be a “red line” that the group would not cross.
