American President Biden has once again reined in Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu over the announced military operation in Rafah, while the White House confirmed the death of Marwan Issa, a ranking member of Hamas, in an Israeli raid, after rumors that had been filtering for days . Meanwhile, at the Shifa hospital in Gaza City, a battle took place which ended with 20 terrorists killed and over 200 arrested. In the first conversation after more than a month of frost, which lasted 45 minutes, Biden reiterated to the Israeli prime minister that the action in Rafah would be “a mistake”. And he asked him to send a team to Washington to discuss this, a request to which Netanyahu agreed.
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has raised the alarm over the rapid worsening of the food crisis in the Gaza Strip, where a famine situation is expected by next May in the northern governorates: it is this emerges from a new report published by the global initiative Integrated food security phase classification (IPC). The rest of the Strip also runs the risk of future famine, in the worst case scenario, if hostilities do not cease and humanitarian assistance does not reach the people most in need.
The Israeli army has taken control of the Shifa hospital in Gaza City and called on Hamas members inside to leave and surrender. The military spokesperson made this known, quoted by the media. The same source said that so far 80 suspicious people have been “captured by soldiers” and that “some of these have been confirmed as operational terrorists”.
The negotiations in Doha “will involve Sinwar and will last at least two weeks”. An Israeli political source quoted by the media said this. According to another source, reported by Ynet, the “substance of the negotiation is a 42-day truce in exchange for 40 hostages”.
