International mediators intensify their efforts to do an armistice in the Gaza Strip after Israel a great

Israel's offensive and the role of the USA

The Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant said on Saturday that the new military operation Hamas had forced the negotiating table. "With the start of the Operation 'Gideon Wagen' in Gaza ... the Hamas delegation in Doha announced its return to negotiations on a kidnapping agreement-in contrast to the rejection that they had maintained up to this point," said Katz.

Another option could be that after a visit by US President Donald Trump agreed again to record. CNN announced a civil servant familiar with the negotiations: "After talks between Qatar and the USA while President Trump's visit to Doha, there is another pressure from intermediaries from the USA, Qatar and Egypt to see whether a new ceasefire agreement can be achieved."

Netanyahu and the negotiations in Doha

The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu kept close contact with the negotiation team in Doha and Israel's Minister for Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer and the US specialist for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff to advance the deal. An Israeli civil servant said to CNN on Saturday that Netanyahu instructed his negotiation team to stay in Doha, "to take all efforts to secure the release of our hostages."

Last week Netanyahu instructed the Israeli negotiation team to travel to Qatar, but made it clear that he is only ready to negotiate Witkoff's proposal, which provides for the release from half of the hostage against a temporary armistice. However, the proposal does not guarantee the end of the war.

Trump's stay in Doha and his statements

Trump was in Doha on Wednesday as part of a Middle East trip that Israel left out. Last week Trump said that he wanted an end to the "brutal war" in Gaza. He also avoided Israel twice this month to achieve bilateral agreements with regional militant groups. Hamas gave the release of an Israeli-American Geisel known , and the Houthis agreed to set the fire on American ships in the Red Sea at the same time to continue fighting against Israel.

The humanitarian situation in Gaza worsens

Meanwhile, the UN and well -known aid organizations make an alarm because of the new offensive Israel in Gaza and report that civilians have to bear the main load of the attack. The Israeli military leadership said that the goal of the operation was to “achieve all the goals of the war in Gaza, including the release of the hostages and the defeat of Hamas.”

According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, more than 100 people were killed in the new air strikes overnight, including entire families.

In the al-Mawasi area in south of Gazas, an infant, his two younger siblings and their parents, who all lived in a refugee camp, were killed on Saturday, Dr. Munir al-Barsh, the director of the Ministry of Health, Cnn.

growing concern about the humanitarian crisis

While the bombing continues and the number of victims increases, the Gaza health system is further pushed to the limits of the tolerable. The Ministry of Health announced on Sunday that "all public hospitals in northern Gaza Strip are currently out of operation."

The UN now warns that over 2.1 million people-the entire population of the enclave-are threatened by hunger after 19 months of conflict and massive displacement, which are now being tightened by the 11-week blockade of auxiliary goods by Israel.

On Friday, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, said in a statement that the renewed bomb campaign was synonymous with ethnic cleaning. "This latest bombing ... and the denial of humanitarian aid underline that it appears to be working towards a permanent demographic change in Gaza that violates international law and is synonymous with ethnic cleaning," says Turk.

Despite the resuming of the talks in Qatar, Omar Qandil, whose brother, sister-in-law and 4-month-old niece were killed in a nightly air raid in Central Gaza that he had the feeling that the world had closed the eyes before her suffering. "They all slept ... were targeted in their bedroom," he said.

"I don't know what to say anymore. We have spoken a lot. Nobody looks at us: neither Arab nor Muslims, nobody."
