After a new megaofensive of Israel in Gaza, Hamas proposes to release multiple hostages


At least 300 people have been killed from Thursday, according to the rescue teams, including hospitals and refugee camps in the northern and southern Gaza strip.




Hamas proposed the release of multiple hostages within a new cessation agreement with Israel. A new tour of negotiations began on Saturday (17/5) hours after the Israeli military launched a new new offensive in the Gaza Strip.

Hamas agreed to free nine hostages in exchange for a 60 -day respite and the release of Palestinian prisoners from Israel, BBC told BBC a Palestinian authority.

The officer stated that the new agreement proposed would also allow entry to the day 400 of help and retreats of people hospitalized in Gaza. Israel, in turn, the request for life and detailed information on all the hostages that are still under Hamas.

The mediators of Qatar and the United States participate in Doha’s negotiations.

Israel has not yet publicly replied to the proposed agreement, but said that he will not remove Gaza’s troops nor would he work at the end of the war.

Hamas’ proposal would not have crossed these conditions, according to the BBC.

The Israeli army has announced the launch of a new offensive called Operation Carriage of Gideon on Saturday in the middle of the more lethal wave of attacks in Gaza in months.

At least 300 people have been killed from Thursday, according to the rescue teams, including hospitals and refugee camps in the north and south of the track.

Thousands of people have been killed since Israel resumed attacks on March 18, after the break of a fragile ceased the fire that lasted two months.

Humanitarian agencies claim that the already serious situation has worsened in Gaza, since Israel is blocking food and other aid.

The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised at the beginning of this month a great military climbing in the war to occupy and control parts of Gaza, force the Palestinian population south of the territory and therefore “destroy” Hamas.

Speaking of Gaza, the journalist Ghada at Corad told the BBC NewSch program that there were many “air attacks, bombings, drones, blows and even explosions to the north and east”.

“It’s terrifying and horrible,” he said.

He said his family was only one meal a day, due to the scarcity and the dizzying increase in costs, and accused Israel of “making food a gun”.

Another urgent problem is hunger among the 2.1 million inhabitants of Gaza, while images and reports of children appear suffer from malnutrition under the Israeli block.

The President of the United States Donald Trump said on Friday that “many people were starving” in Gaza. The Israeli government repeatedly rejected the accusations that there are food deficiencies in Gaza.

Victoria Rose, a British surgeon who works in the hospital in the city of Khan Youis, told the BBC Radio 4 to date that his team was “exhausted” and that the employees lost a “remarkable amount of weight”.

“The children are very thin,” he said. “We have many young people whose teeth have fallen.”

“Many of them have very significant burns and, with this level of malnutrition, they are much more likely to infections and have much less healing skills”.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had declared that May 5 that Israel was preparing for a “Gaza intensity item”, but would not start the action until Trump completed his turn in the Middle East, finalized on Friday.

The residents of the North and the Center of Gaza have been instructed to leave their homes or places of refuge – an order that humanitarian workers affirm that it is almost impossible to satisfy because many are already homeless during the war.

Israel’s defense forces said that the operation would not have been interrupted “until Hamas is no longer a threat and all our hostages are at home” and that they have “hit more than 150 terrorist objectives throughout the Gaza strip” in the last 24 hours.

Saturday’s attacks hit the cities in the north of Gaza, including Beit Lahiya and the field of refugees of Jabalia, as well as in the city of Khan, in the South, said the Ministry of Health of Hamas and the civil defense forces.

Thousands of Israeli troops, including soldiers and reserve, can enter Gaza while the operation intensifies in the next few days. Israeli tanks were also seen on the border, said the Reuters news agency.

The intensification of the offensive was condemned by the United Nations and some European leaders.

The United Nations Commissioner for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, expressed shock for the military operation of Israel, saying: “How many Palestinian lives will be deleted from their homeland for bombing, hunger or lack of medical care?”

“Atrocities are becoming a new rule,” he said.

After the new attacks, the secretary general of the United Nations Antonio Guterres, the Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and the Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani asked for a permanent fire, while the German Foreign Ministry said that the new offensive was at risk of “aggravating the catastrophic humanitarian situation for the population of Gazza and the exit”.
