Gaza - Brussels: Europe and the Arabs
On the 11th day of the ceasefire, 735 days after the war on the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army said it had returned to implementing the ceasefire agreement, after bombing several sites in the Strip.
At the same time, Hamas affirmed its commitment to the agreement and accused Israel of violating it since its entry into force.
Discussions are underway between the parties and mediators to establish a binding mechanism to address any future violations in the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation reported that Washington informed Tel Aviv that it could respond to "violations," but without undermining the agreement. According to what was published by the European news network in Brussels, "Euronews," it added that, in return, Israel confirmed the reopening of the crossings but insisted on keeping the Rafah crossing closed, citing the bodies of the Israeli hostages.
