이스라엘 대통령 “인질 되찾기 위한 추가 교전중단 준비돼“
Amid growing international condemnation over Israel’s continuous attacks in Gaza, which has resulted in thousands of civilian casualties, Israel’s president has signaled readiness for a new temporary truce in Gaza.
Lee Seung-jae has more.
The Israeli military’s continuing airstrikes and ground offensives in Gaza, has resulted in thousands of civilian deaths.
And that has led to growing international condemnation, including from traditional allies.
The United States has also called on Israel to scale back its attacks, to target only Hamas.
Amid growing criticism, Israeli President Isaac Herzog has said his country is willing to agree a new temporary truce with Hamas in Gaza in exchange for more hostages.
Speaking to a gathering of ambassadors on Tuesday, Herzog said Israel is “ready for another humanitarian pause and additional humanitarian aid in order to enable the release of hostages.“
The previous seven-day temporary ceasefire last month, led to the release of 86 women and children held by Hamas in exchange for 240 Palestinian women and teenagers held in Israeli jails.
The militant group also released 24 foreign nationals during that period.
Meanwhile, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh is expected to visit Egypt on Wednesday to hold ceasefire talks, raising hopes of another temporary pause in Gaza.
However, Israeli defense chief Yoav Gallant says its military plans to expand its ground offensives in the Gaza Strip to other areas.
He added that through the expansion of the ground offensives,.. Israel will “bring high-ranking Hamas officials to the graveyard or prison.“
He also said that Khan Younis, where many refugees from the north of Gaza fled, has become the “center of terrorism“, adding the military will continue its operations in the region.
Meanwhile, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza admitted that Hamas has turned hospitals into military facilities under its control.
The comments came during an interrogation by the Israel Security Agency, where the director revealed how the militant group uses hospitals for military purposes, including hiding its operatives, conducting military activities and moving its members.
