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."
Israel said on Thursday it was preparing for the reopening of Gaza's Rafah crossing with Egypt to let Palestinians in and out, but set no date as it traded blame with Hamas over violations of a U.S.-mediated ceasefire.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reaffirmed his government’s determination to secure the release of all remaining hostages held in Gaza, stating Thursday that "the fight is not over" for Israel, two years after the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack.
As the United Nations urges a surge in humanitarian aid to Gaza, its top officials are once again missing the point. The issue is not the number of trucks waiting at the border — it’s who controls what happens once those trucks roll in.
