Monday, November 13, all hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip are out of service, according to Hamas. While the WHO considers the situation disastrous and dangerous, Benyamin Netanyahu announced that there could be an agreement on the release of certain hostages, women, children and the elderly.
Hope came from a sentence. Asked on Sunday, November 12, by the American channel NBC, about the release of the hostages, Benyamin Netanyahu was optimistic, but cautious. “There might be one [accord]but I think the less I say on the subject, the more likely it is to come to fruition“, affirmed the Israeli Prime Minister. More than 240 hostages, including eight French, are still being held by Hamas. Benyamin Netanyahu has made their release a precondition for a ceasefire.
Maximum pressure on Hamas
And to achieve this, one solution is, according to him, to put maximum pressure on Hamas by continuing attacks in the Gaza Strip. “What I mean is that we weren’t anywhere close to an agreement at the start of the ground operations, but the minute we started them, things started to move“, declared Benyamin Netanya. Palestinian sources affirm, on the contrary, that Hamas withdrew from the negotiations, because it accuses Israel of deliberately striking the Al-Shifa hospital.
