Israel Warns of Rafah Offensive if Hamas Doesn’t Accept the Truce Deal

Israel warns Hamas of Rafah offensive if it doesn’t accept the truce deal. Israeli officials tell the Egyptian delegation that this is the “last chance” for a ceasefire deal before the country launches its offensive in southern Gaza’s Rafah city. Egypt is mediating talks between Israel and Hamas to avert the offensive, claiming that it will ruin regional stability. On April 26, an Egyptian delegation met Israeli officials in Tel Aviv. The talks focused on the release of hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. Israel has agreed to settle for less than 40 living hostages, including women, children, men aged over 50, and the sick. Israel believes 33 living hostages held captive by Hamas fit that category. Israel is reportedly willing to allow the return of residents to northern Gaza. Meanwhile, Hamas says it has received an “answer” to its April 13 truce deal proposal that the group will study. Hamas continues to stand by its demand that Israel should end its assault on Gaza and seeks the full withdrawal of Israeli troops. Israel has rejected both the demands.
