Despite the final hostage exchange with Israel under a ceasefire deal brokered by US President Donald Trump, Hamas has not publicly committed to downing its weapons.
The attack took place near Shifa Hospital in eastern Gaza. Israel has claimed Al Sharif led a Hamas cell, advancing rocket attacks on IDF, citing intelligence and seized documents.
Netanyahu alleges only 20 out of 50 Hamas-held hostages are believed to be alive. The Israeli PM aims for a 60-day ceasefire, which could lead to a permanent end to the conflict.
Despite Israel’s delays and reluctance, Hamas said it was committed to the deal. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said the cabinet would meet to give final approval to the accord.
At the start of 2024, Israel was apprehensive and under severe doubts, but by year-end, it seems self-assured and upbeat about handling military challenges in the Middle East.
Hamas said initial release of Israelis would include women, children, elderly, and ill hostages in exchange for release of 700-1000 Palestinian prisoners, according to proposal.
RJD, once a prominent representative of Mandal politics, now finds itself in a political era where welfare, good governance, and new aspirations are overshadowing old caste equations.
