War between Israel and Hamas: the hope of a truce is difficult to maintain
War between Israel and Hamas: the hope of a truce is difficult to maintain
(FRANCEINFO)
Negotiations between Israel and Hamas will continue on Sunday May 5 in Cairo. A delegation from the Palestinian movement arrived in Egypt on Saturday as Israel threatens to launch a ground operation on Rafah.
There was no development in the discussions with the mediators, according to what Hamas declared at the end of Saturday, May 4, a day of negotiations in Cairo (Egypt). On the Israeli side, a senior official affirmed that the Jewish state would only send a delegation to the Egyptian capital in the event of positive progress in the context of exchanges between hostages and Palestinian prisoners. According to certain media, particularly in Lebanon, 33 hostages could be released compared to the 40 initially mentioned.
The impossible agreement
The Jewish state offers 40 days of truce. A senior Israeli official denounces blockages allegedly coming from Hamas. He denounces the words of Benjamin Netanyahu, who still threatens a future offensive in Rafah, enough to derail the impossible agreement. International pressure, particularly American pressure, to obtain an agreement is stronger than ever. They should resume on Sunday May 5, in the presence of Egyptian, Qatari and American mediators.
