Qatar says that “a little progress” made in the cease-fire talks of Israel-Hamas while the food crisis in the Palestinian territory is getting worse.
Qatar says that there has been “a little progress” in talks aimed at ensuring a new truce in the War of Israel against Gaza while the United Nations launched an urgent appeal for Israel to raise the “total and complete blockade” of the bombed and besieged Palestinian territory.
Medical sources told Tel Aviv Tribune that at least 50 people were killed on Sunday at Israeli attacks in several regions of Gaza since dawn.
The Prime Minister of Qatar, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman Bin Jassim Al Thani, met Turkish Minister Hakan Fidan on Sunday for talks in Doha, who were dominated by the War of Israel at 18 months in Gaza.
“We saw a little progress on Thursday compared to other meetings, but we have to find an answer for the ultimate question: how to end this war. This is the key point for all negotiations,” said Sheikh Mohammed, who is also Minister of Foreign Affairs, during a joint press conference.
According to the media, David Barnea, director of the spy agency of the Mossad of Israel, went to Doha on Thursday to meet Mohammed in the middle of the efforts to reach a new ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
The Qatari Prime Minister has not said what elements of the cease-fire talks had progressed in recent days, but said that Hamas and Israel have disagreed on the ultimate objective of negotiations.
The Qatar mediator tried to relying a truce after the previous agreement collapsed when Israel withdrew and resumed his military operations on March 18, almost two weeks after having imposed a total seat in Gaza.
For his part, Fidan de Turkiye said that “ethnic cleansing being practiced” by Israel in Gaza is against international and humanitarian law.
“Humanitarian aid has not reached Gaza for two months now. It is a humanitarian crisis that is seen and monitored by the whole world. We must find a way to stop the assault on Gaza and to make sure that the aid will reach … These people in desperate need,” he told journalists.
Meanwhile, the UN warned that the Palestinians of Gaza are faced with the threat of famine as a meeting of the global food program across the territory are empty after missing supplies last week.
On Sunday, the United Nations Rescue and Work Agency for Refugees in Palestine (UNRWA) said that “the headquarters must be lifted”, adding that the inhabitants of Gaza “were plunged into a deadly violence and deprivation cycle”.
In a previous declaration, UNRWA said that there was nothing that “can justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people”.
On Saturday, Jonathan Whittall, head of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in Gaza, accused Israel of “armament” by refusing it to the displaced Palestinians.
“Today, people do not survive Gaza. Those who are not killed with bombs and bullets die slowly,” he said. “There is no justification for denial of humanitarian aid. And humanitarian aid should never be armed. ”
In the midst of famine warnings in Gaza, Israel continued its air attacks through Palestinian territory on Sunday, killing at least 50 people, including children.
At least 52,243 Palestinians were confirmed and 117,639 injured in the War of Israel against Gaza since he started 18 months ago, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza. It is estimated that 1,139 people were killed in Israel during October 7 led by Hamas, the attacks and more than 200 were taken in captivity.
Tareq Abu Azzoum of Tel Aviv Tribune, Deir El-Balah report in the center of Gaza, described the air and terrestrial attacks of Israel as “devastating”.
“It seems that Israel and Hamas are still locked up in an prolonged war of attrition, and Israeli air strikes continue to overwhelm the highly built districts,” he said.
