The call, requested by Washington, focused on efforts to bridge the gaps between the two sides in the ceasefire talks. The US, alongside Egypt and Qatar, had presented a "bridging proposal" in recent discussions in Doha, aimed at narrowing differences and facilitating the swift implementation of a ceasefire deal.
Hamas, however, expressed opposition to the proposal, accusing it of aligning with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s demands. Hamas criticized conditions such as Netanyahu’s refusal to agree to a permanent ceasefire or to fully withdraw from Gaza, while maintaining control over strategic points, including the Netzarim Junction, the Rafah border crossing, and the Philadelphi Corridor.
Earlier in May, US President Joe Biden had indicated that Israel was working on a three-phase plan to end hostilities, secure the release of hostages, and ensure the Israeli military’s eventual withdrawal from Gaza. The proposal also included a prisoner exchange and a sustained increase in humanitarian aid.
Despite international efforts for peace, Israel has continued its genocidal aggression in Gaza since October 7, 2023. The offensive has resulted in the deaths of over 40,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and has left more than 93,000 wounded.
The ongoing blockade of Gaza has created severe shortages of food, water, and medicine, with much of the region in ruins. According to the United Nations, over 80% of Gaza’s infrastructure has been destroyed. Israel denies accusations of genocide brought against it by the International Court of Justice. (ILKHA)
