Since then, an Israeli assault has killed more than 31,000 people and driven nearly the entire 2.3 million population of Gaza from their homes.Hamas presented mediators with its latest counter-offer for a weeks-long ceasefire, but this was rejected by Israel, which said it was based on \u201cunrealistic demands\u201d.Like earlier offers from both sides over the past two months of talks, the Hamas proposal, reviewed by Reuters, envisions the release of dozens of Israeli hostages in return for hundreds of Palestinians held in Israeli jails.But it also calls for talks during a second phase that would eventually lead to the end of the war. Israel has persistently said it will discuss only temporary pauses in the fighting and will not discuss ending the war until Hamas is eradicated.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Open Arms vessel carrying aid sails off the shore of Gaza, amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, as seen from central Gaza Strip, March 15, 2024. REUTERS\/Mohammed Salem<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>STILL WORKING ON A DEAL<\/strong>Sami Abu Zuhri, a senior Hamas official, told Reuters Israel\u2019s rejection showed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was \u201cdetermined to pursue the aggression against our people and undermine all efforts exerted to reach a ceasefire agreement\u201d.It was up to Washington to push its ally Israel to accept a ceasefire, he said.U.S., Egyptian and Qatari mediators had hoped to reach a ceasefire in time for the Ramadan Muslim holy month, but that deadline passed this week. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, whose country hosted the main negotiations this month, said he was still working hard to reach a deal.The United Nations says all of Gaza\u2019s 2.3 million people are suffering from a food crisis and a quarter of them are on the precipice of famine, especially in the north.Israel, which sealed off all land routes into Gaza apart from two crossings on the territory\u2019s southern edge, denies blame for hunger and says aid agencies should do a better job distributing food. The agencies say they need better access and security, both of which are the responsibility of Israeli forces who have blockaded the strip and stormed its cities.<strong>TWENTY-ONE KILLED, 150 WOUNDED AT AID DISTRIBUTION<\/strong>The distribution of the limited aid that arrives has been chaotic and frequently violent under the watch of Israeli tanks.In one of the worst reported incidents yet, Gaza health authorities reported at least 21 people had been killed and 150 wounded on Thursday night, blaming Israeli forces for opening fire into a crowd queuing up for food at a road junction near Gaza City.Israel denied its troops were to blame, as it has in past incidents, including the deadliest so far, on Feb. 29, when more than 100 people were killed.There are increasing signs of friction between Washington and its close ally Israel over the conduct of the war, which officials in President Joe Biden\u2019s administration say is being waged with too little care for Palestinian civilians.U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, the highest ranking Jewish official in the United States and a leader of Biden\u2019s Democratic Party, called on Thursday for Israelis to hold an election and replace Netanyahu.He described Netanyahu as an obstacle to peace who was destroying Israel\u2019s international standing. \u201cIsrael cannot survive if it becomes a pariah,\u201d Schumer said.Netanyahu\u2019s Likud Party said his policies had widespread public support. \u201cSenator Schumer is expected to respect Israel\u2019s elected government and not undermine it,\u201d it said. \u201cThis is always true, and even more so in wartime.\u201d(Reuters)food aid. food aid, Gaza Strip, ceasefire<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211; The first ship carrying food aid, the Open Arms vessel with 200 tonnes of food, reached the coast of the Gaza Strip.<br \/>\n&#8211; The charity World Central Kitchen (WCK) aims to deliver the aid on a temporary jetty.<br \/>\n&#8211; The aid is intended to ease the hunger crisis in Gaza, where hundreds of thousands face malnourishment.<br \/>\n&#8211; The war began with an attack by Hamas on Oct. 7, killing 1,200 people and taking 253 hostages in Israel.<br \/>\n&#8211; An Israeli assault has killed more than 31,000 people and displaced nearly the entire 2.3 million population of Gaza.<br \/>\n&#8211; Hamas&#8217;s latest ceasefire counter-proposal, which includes the release of hostages and talks to end the war, was rejected by Israel.<br \/>\n&#8211; Israel demands only temporary pauses in fighting and refuses to discuss ending the war until Hamas is eradicated.<br \/>\n&#8211; Sami Abu Zuhri, a senior Hamas official, criticized Israel&#8217;s rejection of the ceasefire proposal.<br \/>\n&#8211; Efforts for a ceasefire continue, with mediators from the U.S., Egypt, and Qatar involved.<br \/>\n&#8211; The United Nations reports all 2.3 million people in Gaza are suffering from a food crisis.<br \/>\n&#8211; Israel denies blame for the hunger crisis and calls for better food distribution by aid agencies.<br \/>\n&#8211; At least 21 people were killed and 150 wounded by Israeli forces during a food distribution event.<br \/>\n&#8211; U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called for Israelis to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, criticizing his approach to the conflict.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":4262,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"Default","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[1521,122,1977,1943,383,492,1423,180,1240,1469,3,1381,1600,1978,118,1491,145,895,415,298,210,1025,487,187,299,756,185,712,1178,1864,493,345,462,864,1670,1792,1354,389,470,827,124,1358,1026,114,939,169,1759,544,1238,293,18],"class_list":["post-4261","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cyprus","tag-1521","tag-aid","tag-air-drops","tag-assault","tag-attack","tag-biden","tag-ceasefire","tag-charity","tag-clear","tag-coast","tag-cyprus","tag-deadline","tag-election","tag-famine","tag-fire","tag-food-aid","tag-gaza","tag-gaza-strip","tag-government","tag-hamas","tag-health","tag-hostages","tag-incidents","tag-international","tag-israel","tag-joe-biden","tag-main","tag-maritime","tag-maritime-corridor","tag-negotiations","tag-netanyahu","tag-palestine","tag-palestinians","tag-population","tag-president-joe-biden","tag-prime-minister","tag-release","tag-rescue","tag-road","tag-security","tag-ship","tag-support","tag-talks","tag-top-news","tag-truce","tag-twitter","tag-united-nations","tag-united-states","tag-vessel","tag-war","tag-world"],"acf":{"keyphrase":"","keywords":"","sourceimg":"","country-category":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
