The possibility of a 5-day ceasefire in Gaza
According to the online economy report, quoted by IRNA, this newspaper quoted a senior official of the Zionist regime and added: Israel and Hamas have come close to an agreement for a 5-day temporary ceasefire with the release of dozens of prisoners.
According to the Washington Post, this Zionist official said in an interview on Monday: “In the tentative agreement, Israeli women and children will be released in groups at the same time as Palestinian women and youth who are kept in Israeli prisons.”
He claimed: This agreement can provide more international aid to Palestinian civilians in Gaza and reduce the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
According to the Washington Post, US President Joe Biden, in a phone call with Qatar’s Emir Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani on Sunday, appreciated Doha’s mediation efforts to reach an agreement with Hamas.
US officials hope that the agreement to release prisoners and a temporary ceasefire will reduce the international uproar over the war in Gaza.
Abu Obeidah, the spokesman of the Qassam Brigades, said on Monday night: “Our brothers in Qatar made a great effort to free the enemy prisoners, both women and children, in return for the release of 200 Palestinian children and 75 women in the prisons of this regime.”
Abu Obaidah added: The enemy wants the release of 100 prisoners in Gaza, and we announced to the mediators that we can release the prisoners during a 5-day ceasefire in Gaza, provided that the fighting stops and humanitarian aid is sent to the entire Gaza Strip.
He also said: Faul Azei Mark Essiani, one of the Israeli female prisoners, was killed in the attacks of the Zionist regime’s army on Gaza a few days ago.
Qassam’s spokesperson added: This Israeli prisoner was captured alive and before the ground attack on Gaza, he demanded his release from Gaza, and the continuation of air and ground attacks on Gaza endangers the lives of other Israeli prisoners at any moment. We said what was necessary.
On Saturday, October 15, 2023, the Palestinian resistance forces launched a surprise operation called “Al-Aqsa storm” from Gaza (southern Palestine) against the positions of Tel Aviv, and the Zionist regime, in order to retaliate and compensate for its defeat and stop the resistance operations, all the crossings It has closed the Gaza Strip and is bombarding this area.
Western support for the Israeli regime under the pretext of self-defense has practically been a green light and a license for this regime to continue the brutal killing of Palestinian children and women.
