A senior Hamas official told AFP that the Palestinian group "has no major problems" with Israel and Egypt's latest proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza.
«The atmosphere is positive, unless there are new obstacles from Israel. There are no major problems in the comments and requests that Hamas will present regarding the contents" of the proposal, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, on the eve of the meeting in Cairo with Egypt and Qatar in which a response is expected of Hamas.
Meanwhile, the IDF is getting ever closer to the operation in Rafah: the Israeli army has approved the new military plans for the continuation of the war in southern Gaza, which now only await the final green light from the Security Cabinet chaired by Benjamin Netanyahu.
"It's a matter of days", warned the president of the PNA, Abu Mazen, relaunching the appeal to the USA, "the only country capable of doing it", to stop the operation. And the issue was at the center of a new phone call between Joe Biden and Netanyahu: the American president "reaffirmed his clear position" on Rafah while confirming the "unwavering support for security" of the Jewish State, the White House said . In the conversation the two also addressed the issue of the ongoing negotiations for the release of the hostages and an immediate ceasefire.
