Buildings destroyed by Israeli attack in Gaza.
Istanbul: After the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, the series of deaths in Lebanon stopped, but it still continues in Gaza. Dozens of people are being killed every day in Israeli air strikes. But now there is hope that soon this orgy of deaths will stop in Gaza also. A Hamas leader on Thursday claimed to have resumed ceasefire talks with Israel. Hamas said international mediators have resumed talks with Hamas and Israel for a ceasefire in Gaza and an agreement is expected to end the 14-month war.
Qatar suspended talks with Egyptian and US mediators last month, frustrated over the failure of ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas. Hamas leader Bassem Naim said in Turkey that efforts to end the war, free Gaza hostages and free Palestinian prisoners in Israel had been “reenergized” in recent days. Another official with knowledge of the talks, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that Qatari mediators had resumed talks. There have been significant changes in the global and regional scenario since the talks were disrupted.
After Trump was elected President, the attitude of war fighters started changing.
Donald Trump has won the US presidential election and last week a ceasefire was announced in Lebanon between Israel and Hamas ally Hezbollah. Trump is a staunch supporter of Israel, but Naim believes the incoming US administration could “positively influence the situation” as Trump made stopping wars in the region a part of his election campaign. . Hamas-led extremists attacked southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killing about 1,200 people and taking about 250 hostage. According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, at least 44,500 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s fierce counter-attack. (AP)
