The quick way that a truce agreement was reached between Israel and Iran last week, ending the 12 -day war between these two countries, rekindled the hopes of ending battles in the Gaza Strip, where more than 20 months of war have created destructive humanitarian conditions.
The US president had already stated on Friday that A truce between Israel and Hamas is ‘close’. However, in the field, the battles continue to rage between the Israeli army and the Palestinian armed groups.
