What is happening between Israel and Gaza: Israel accuses Hamas of wanting to modify the truce agreement and postpones its ratification

The Israeli Army killed at least 51 Gazans between the night and early morning of this Thursdayaccording to local sources in the Gaza Strip, following the announcement from Qatar of a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel that will take effect on Sunday.

The attacks have occurred in central areas such as the Nuseirat camp and against homes in the southern Khan Yunis, but one of the hardest hit areas has once again been the capital Gaza City, in the north, with at least 28 dead.

The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas will not be effective until next Sunday, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Hamas of “creating a crisis at the last minute” by “retracting explicit understandings” and has announced a postponement of the meeting that his Government was going to hold to ratify the ceasefire agreement for the Gaza Strip agreed on Wednesday.

Given the fear that the expected ceasefire will be annulled by the United States, Qatar and Egypt, the mediators and guarantors of the truce agreement have confirmed in a joint statement that will ensure the implementation of the pact by both parties “in all its phases”.
