War between Israel and Hamas: what to remember from Tuesday April 9
Cairo: Hani Kamal El-Din
The war continues in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday April 9, and Hamas says it is studying a draft truce agreement. But according to the United States, the declarations of the Palestinian Islamist movement on this truce proposal, associated with a release of hostages in Gaza, are not “not very encouraging”. Humanity and the international community have lost their “moral compass” in Gaza, also deplored the Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations, Amina Mohammed. Franceinfo summarizes what you need to remember from this day.
Hamas said on Tuesday that it was studying a proposed truce in Gaza accompanied by the release of hostages held in the Palestinian territory. Saying “to wish” an agreement, the movement affirmed in a statement that Israel “did not respond to any” of his requests. “Despite this, the leadership of the movement is studying the proposal (…) and will inform the mediators of its response”added Hamas.
But the White House judged the movement’s statements “not very encouraging”even if the mediators are still waiting for a “answer” official from him. “We’ve seen Israel take some steps forward in terms of what it’s putting on the table. And of course, we’ve seen public statements from Hamas that have been, let’s say, not very encouraging.”said White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan.
On another hot topic, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken assured Tuesday that Israel had not provided the United States with a date for a possible military operation in Rafah, in the south of the Gaza Strip, while judging that she was not “imminent”. “No, we do not have a date for an operation, at least one that was communicated to us by the Israelis”he declared during a press conference in Washington, alongside his British counterpart David Cameron.
