Israel Hamas war: Hamas announces it has accepted an Egyptian-Qatari cease-fire proposal

The Hindu  

Hamas announced its acceptance on May 6 of an Egyptian-Qatari ceasefire proposal, but Israel said the deal did not meet its “core demands” and that it was pushing ahead with an assault on the southern Gaza town of Rafah. At the same time, it said that while the proposal Hamas agreed to “is far from meeting Israel’s core demands,” it would send negotiators to Egypt to work on a deal. In Jerusalem, about a hundred protesters marched toward Mr. Netanyahu’s residence with a banner reading, “The blood is on your hands.“ Israel says Rafah is the last significant Hamas stronghold in Gaza, and Mr. Netanyahu said Monday that the offensive against the town was vital to ensuring the militants can’t rebuild their military capabilities. “It will only expose them to more danger and misery.” Israeli leaflets, text messages and radio broadcasts ordered Palestinians to evacuate eastern neighborhoods of Rafah, warning that an attack was imminent and anyone who stays “puts themselves and their family members in danger.” The military told people to move to an Israel-declared humanitarian zone called Muwasi, a makeshift camp on the coast.
