«There is an attempt by Cairo to restart talks with an Egyptian proposal that would involve the release of 33 hostages, including women, elderly and sick people» . An Israeli official said this to the Jerusalem Post, regarding the Egyptian delegation that met with Jewish state mediators to discuss the hostages and a ceasefire in Gaza.
According to the Israeli website, Tel Aviv intelligence officials believe that only 33 abductees are still alive, out of a total of 133 still held by Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist groups in the Strip.
The Egyptian attempt comes after the war cabinet of the Jewish State gave the green light to a possible operation in Rafah , in the south of the Strip, considered by Tel Aviv to be the last "bastion" of Hamas and where the Israeli armed forces are massing troops and tanks.
Meanwhile, President Recep Erdogan's very harsh attack on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu comes from Turkey: "Like the assassins before him, Netanyahu has shamefully written his name in history as the butcher of Gaza" , said the Turkish president during an interparliamentary conference on Palestine in Istanbul, broadcast by Turkish state TV Trt.
“We must intensify our efforts to ensure that Netanyahu, the butcher, is held accountable to the law,” Erdogan added.
