Hamas continues to consider its response to negotiations between Israel and the Islamic organization Hamas over the cessation of fighting and the release of hostages, and it is unclear whether the two sides will reach an agreement.
Negotiations between Israel and Hamas, with Qatar and other mediators acting as intermediaries, appear to be proposing to Hamas the gradual release of hostages following a cessation of fighting.
Regarding this, Middle Eastern satellite television station Al Jazeera and others reported on the 2nd that a senior Hamas official told Lebanese media that they were ``maintaining their original demand for a permanent ceasefire.'' It appears that they are considering a solution.
The Israeli side has a policy of not accepting a complete cease-fire, and on the 2nd, American NBC News reported that a senior Israeli government official said, ``It is unclear whether an agreement will be reached.'' It is unclear whether an agreement will be reached. There is no situation.
The Israeli military continued its operations in southern Khan Yunis and other areas on the 2nd, and health authorities in the Gaza Strip announced on the 2nd that 112 people had been killed in Israeli attacks in the past 24 hours, bringing the death toll to 27,131. I think it climbed.
On the 2nd, UNICEF (United Nations Children's Fund) issued a statement saying that an estimated at least 17,000 children have lost their parents to the fighting and are left without relatives.
He went on to say that almost all children in the Gaza Strip are in need of psychological care, and that a ceasefire is necessary in order to provide support.
