Israel had proposed a 7-day ceasefire. In exchange for stopping the attacks, Israel demanded the release of 40 hostages. This was rejected by Hamas.
Before this, Ismail Haniya, Chief of the Political Wing of Hamas, had reached Egypt’s capital Cairo on Wednesday. Here talks were going on between Hamas and the Egyptian leadership on the release of the hostages held by Hamas.
At the same time, about 20 thousand Palestinians have died so far in this war that started on October 7. There are more than 6 thousand children among them. 1200 Israeli people were killed.
According to a report by ‘The Times of Israel’, the sky of Israel remained calm between Tuesday and Wednesday. There was not a single rocket attack here in about 24 hours. After about two months it happened that no rocket was fired here from Gaza or Lebanon. This simply means that the war against Hamas and Hezbollah is beginning to yield real results.

In a statement issued to the media, Netanyahu said – the war will continue until the destruction of Hamas. Hamas has only two options. His terrorists will surrender or be killed.
