Hamas says ‘no sense’ to discuss conversations while Israel has expanded plans of the Gaza offensive

Een senior Hamas -functionaris heeft gezegd dat het “geen zin” heeft in verdere gesprekken over een nieuwe Gaza St – – – – – – – –s – – – – – – – -Ploed en gijzelaar, nadat Israël een uitgebreid offensief had goedgekeurd dat al het Palestijnse grondgebied voor onbepaalde tijd in beslag heeft genomen.

Bassem Naim said the BBC that the armed group would not deal with new proposals, while Israel continued his “hunger war”.

On Monday, the Israeli army said that the purpose of the “wide -scale” operation was the return of hostages in the hands of Hamas and the “decisive defeat”.

Israeli officials said it would mean that they “caught” Gaza, moving the majority of the population and taking over the control over help after a two -month blockage that, according to the UN, said that caused serious food shortages.

The officials also said that the offensive would only start after the visit of US President Donald Trump to the region next week, so Hamas called a “disadvantaged” to agree to a deal.

But Bassem’s comments on Tuesday seemed to prevent that.

UN Secretary -General António Guterres warned that the expansion of Israeli ground operations and a long -term military presence would inevitably lead to countless lake killed and the further destruction of Gaza “.

British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron expressed deeply worried about recent developments and agreed that “a renewed peace process was required,” said Downing Street.

In Washington, President Trump said that the US would help deliver food to people in Gaza, without going into detail.

“People starve and we are going to help them get some food. Many people make it very, very bad,” he said. “Hamas makes it impossible because they take everything that has been brought in.”

Israel cut off all deliveries of help and other supplies on March 2 and resumed his offensive two weeks later after the collapse of a two-month ceasefires, and said it was busy on Hamas to release hostages.

It also accused Hamas of stealing and storing help – a statement that the group denied.

Aid organizations have warned that without a change in policy, mass hunger is on hands.

They also convicted Israel’s proposal to provide help through private companies at military hubs, and say that it would be an infringement on the basis of humanitarian principles and that they would not work together.

The UN has said that according to international law, Israel is mandatory to ensure food and medical supplies for the population of Gaza. Israel has said that international law is leaving and that there is no shortage of help.

The Israeli army launched a campaign to destroy Hamas in response to an unprecedented cross -border attack on October 7, 2023, in which around 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were held hostage.

Since then, at least 52,567 people have been killed in Gaza, including 2,459 since the Israeli offensive resumed, according to Hamas-Raunde Health Minister of Hamas.
