Israel's ultimatum: urgent pressure on Hamas - hostage in danger!

Gazastreifen, Palästinensische Gebiete - Negotiations on a possible continuation of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas face serious challenges. Today, on March 3, 2025, the first phase of an agreement that regulates an armistice and the exchange of hostages and prisoners has expired. This phase lasted for six weeks, during which the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip improved but now tense conditions. According to bnn.de there is no agreement to continue these ceasefire.

Israel has hired all aid deliveries to Gaza, which is condemned by Egypt and Jordan as a violation of humanitarian international law. The Egyptian Foreign Minister criticized the use of humanitarian aid as a means of pressure. These developments could lead to an intensification of the situation, since the Israeli army is preparing for possible military measures and the return to the war is not excluded.

Humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip

The situation in the Gaza Strip is still devastating. While some relief supplies get into the area, local media report an inadequate distribution, especially in the north, where the conditions are catastrophic. srf points out that people in temporary tent camps have to live. Doctors without borders criticize the Israeli procedure and warn of the devastating consequences.

The fighting in the Gaza Strip continues to run, and there were reports of attacks by the Israeli army on refugee camps. The Palestinian news agency reported 28 dead, while Israeli military positions do not comment on the incidents. The security situation has further intensified by continuing battles, which also affects the implementation of vaccination campaigns.

negotiations and hostages

In terms of hostage, Hamas currently holds 24 Israeli hostages and 35 corpses of deported. Israel gives Hamas a last period for negotiations on the release of further hostages. However, there seems to be a gap between the two sides, since Hamas rejected an extension of the ceasefire. In an incident, the body of another woman was handed over instead of a hostage, which caused outrage and further reduced trust in the negotiations.

The conversations about a permanent solution and the release of the remaining 59 hostages have stalled. The Israeli government judged the talks as inadequate, and a delegation returned from Cairo with no result. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Hamas of stealing aid deliveries and endangering the well -being of the civilian population. Due to these tensions, there are far -reaching uncertainties about the future development in the Gaza Strip.

With these developments, the pressure on the Israeli government is growing to accept a permanent ceasefire and thus not to tighten the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. The international community pursues the situation with concern and appeals to both sides to avoid hostility.
