Jerusalem, undefined:
Israel ordered an immediate stop for the power supply of Gaza in an attempt to release Hamas to the hostages, even it was ready to interact with the Palestinian militants on the future of its Trus.
Israel’s decision came a week later when it blocked all support supply in the war-batter region, reminiscent of the early days when Israel announced a “siege” on Gaza.
Hamas described the power cuts as “blackmail”, used a word, which was used even after blocking assistance by Israel.
The initial phase of the Trus ended on March 1 and the two sides on Sunday refrained from returning to the all-out war despite an an airstrike, including an aerial attack, stating the target terrorists.
Hamas has repeatedly called for an immediate beginning to negotiate in the second phase of the ceasefire, which aims to permanently end the war.
Israel says it prefers to expand phase one by mid -April, and prevents help to Gaza on deadlock.
On Sunday, it ordered a cut in power supply.
Energy Minister Elli Cohen said in a video statement, “I have just signed an order to shut down the power supply to the Gaza Strip.”
He said, “We will use all the equipment at our disposal to bring back the hostages and will ensure that Hamas is no longer in Gaza,” after the war, he said.
Izat al-Rishk, a member of Hamas’s political bureau, described Israel’s move as a desperate attempt to pressurize our people and their resistance through “cheap and unacceptable blackmail strategy”.
A few days after the war began on October 7, 2023 after Hamas’s attack, Israel cut Gaza power, restored it only in mid -2024.
The only power line between Israel and Gaza supplies the main dislocation plant, and Ghazans mainly rely on solar panels and fuel-operated generators to produce electricity.
Hundreds of thousands of Palestine in Gaza live in tents, with the temperature of the night now forecast about 12 ° C (54 fahrenheit).
Status ‘strict’
Hamas representatives met Egyptian mediators over the weekend, emphasizing the immediate need to resume “without restrictions or conditions”, a statement by Hamas, stating in a statement.
“We call the intermediaries in Egypt and Qatar as well as guaranteers in US administration, to ensure that (Israel) compliance with the business agreement … and moves with the second phase according to the agreed conditions,” spokesperson Hazem Kassesem told the AFP.
The major demands of Hamas for the second phase include a mortgage-cancer exchange, a complete return from the Gaza of Israel, a permanent ceasefire, the border crossing reopening and raising the blockade, he said.
The former President of the United States Joe Biden also underlined a second phase, including the release of the remaining living hostages, the return of all the Israeli forces left in the Gaza and the establishment of a permanent ceasefire.
After meeting the mediators, another Hamas spokesman, Abdel Latif al-Qanaua, said the indicators were still “positive”.
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he would send Doha to the delegates on Monday.
The Trus stopped for more than 15 months of fighting in Gaza, where almost the entire population was displaced by Israeli’s tireless military operations in response to the 7 October attack.
In the first phase of six weeks, 25 living Israeli hostages and eight bodies were exchanged for the release of about 1,800 Palestinian prisoners held in Israel.
It also allowed very important food, shelter and medical aid.
After Israel cut aid flow, experts of the United Nations rights accused the government of “arms starvation”.
Northern Gaza, in the distribution of the United Nations of flour at North Gaza, 56 -year -old Abu Mahmood Salman said that the fresh supply with the area is now closed, “Gaza has new famine fears, where the situation remains serious”.
Fear for hostages
Last week, US President Donald Trump threatened to destroy in front of Gaza if all the remaining hostages were not issued, releasing that he called Hamas leaders “final warning”.
He also said that Ghazan who “catch the hostages … is dead!”
There was danger after his administration confirmed
An unprecedented direct conversation with Hamas, which was refused to contact before Washington nominated a terrorist organization in 1997.
Adam Boheller, an officer who held talks with Hamas, told CNN on Sunday that “a deal” within weeks could reach out all prisoners, not only Americans “.
During the October 7 attack, out of 251 hostages raised by Palestinian terrorists, 58 are in Gaza, five of which are Americans, four of which have been confirmed dead.
Trump has planned a wide condemnation to expel Palestinians from Gaza, motivating Arab leaders to offer an alternative, which funds the reconstruction through a trust fund, with the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah returns to control the Hamas-Sasted area.
On Sunday, Israel’s far-flung Finance Minister Bezelle Smotrich said the proposal was “taking shape”.
