Foreign Ministry: the main condition of the agreement between Hamas and Israel must be a ceasefire. Vershinin clarified that this is a key condition to save people and gain unhindered access to provide humanitarian aid to the population.
Earlier, Hamas proposed a three-stage ceasefire plan in the Gaza Strip. On January 30, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ruled out the withdrawal of troops from the Gaza strip until complete victory and the release of “thousands” of Palestinians from prison. The Russian Deputy Foreign Minister said that an early ceasefire in Gaza is necessary.
