Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas called on Hamas on Wednesday to “quickly finalize a prisoner exchange deal with Israel to spare further casualties to our Palestinian people.”
"The Israeli occupation is waging an open war on the Gaza Strip, leading to the daily deaths of hundreds of Palestinians,” he said.
“We must take responsibility for stopping this comprehensive war against the Palestinian people."
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant told his U.S. counterpart that military operations in the Gaza Strip have created conditions that would enable a hostage deal to be reached, Gallant's office said on Wednesday.
A meeting of the United Nations Security Council on the Middle East was briefly interrupted on Wednesday when two protesters stood with signs and yelled for the release of Israeli hostages held by Palestinian militants Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Roads torn up months ago by Israeli army bulldozers in Jenin refugee camp remain unpassable because the Palestinian Authority can't afford to fix them. Government employees are being paid a fraction of their salaries, and health services are collapsing.
