Attempts intensifying for truce in the conflict within Gaza
In a recent interview with the Jerusalem Post, Bishara Bahbah, a confidant of US President Donald Trump, expressed concerns about an escalation of the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Bahbah, a US businessman who has been involved in contacts between the USA and Hamas in recent months, urged both warring parties to immediately return to the negotiating table.
Mediators, including the United States, Egypt, and Qatar, are making new efforts to end the war in Gaza. These key mediators are actively involved in indirect talks between Israel and Hamas, though the details of these discussions remain undisclosed.
Bahbah warned that an escalation would increase the number of casualties in the Gaza Strip and endanger the lives of hostages held by Hamas, without specifying who these hostages are. He also stated that Israel is in a situation it doesn't want to be in, and that the Israeli public does not want to see Israeli soldiers killed in the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli military is reportedly preparing to take the city of Gaza, a move that could further escalate the conflict. Bahbah expressed that the situation for the Palestinians is unsustainable.
The interview did not provide updates on the efforts of mediators to end the war in Gaza or mention the involvement of the USA, Qatar, and Egypt in the indirect talks. However, it is clear that these key mediators are working diligently to find a resolution to the conflict and bring an end to the violence.
