Israel is calling on the international community to pressure Hamas to immediately release hostages, following the group’s rejection of a US-brokered deal. Israel had accepted the ‘final bridging proposal’ made by the United States on August 16, 2024, but Hamas opposed the deal and, according to Israeli officials, subsequently executed six hostages in cold blood.
Israel is urging global leaders and organizations to intervene, highlighting Hamas’ resistance to negotiations and the urgent need to free those held captive. While efforts to resolve the crisis continue, the situation underscores the ongoing tensions between Hamas and Israel, with the lives of innocent hostages hanging in the balance.
The international community faces the challenge of navigating the complexities of engaging with Hamas, a group widely recognized as a terrorist organization by many nations, while seeking a humanitarian resolution to the crisis. However, Israel remains firm in its stance that Hamas must be held accountable for its actions and immediately release the hostages.–News Desk
