Hamas has proposed a ceasefire to end the recent violence between Israel and Gaza, following the Israeli military’s assault on the Rafah border crossing.
According to a statement from Hamas, the proposed ceasefire would include a halt to all hostilities and the reopening of the Rafah crossing, which has been closed since the Israeli attack.
The proposal comes after days of intense fighting between Israel and Gaza, which has resulted in the deaths of at least 200 Palestinians and 10 Israelis.
Hamas has stated that the ceasefire is contingent upon Israel ending its aggression towards Gaza and lifting the blockade on the territory. The group also called for the release of Palestinian prisoners and the cessation of Israeli settlements in the West Bank.
The Israeli government has not yet responded to the ceasefire proposal, but has stated that it will continue to defend its citizens against Hamas attacks.
The United Nations has called for an immediate ceasefire and urged both sides to exercise restraint and protect civilians.
The recent violence has sparked international concern and condemnation, with many countries calling for an end to the conflict and a return to negotiations for a lasting peace.
The proposed ceasefire by Hamas is seen as a potential step towards de-escalating the situation and finding a peaceful resolution. However, it remains to be seen if Israel will accept the terms and if the ceasefire will hold.
The ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza has been ongoing for decades, with both sides claiming the right to the land and the constant threat of violence and retaliation.
As the situation continues to unfold, the international community is closely monitoring the developments and urging for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
