DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (CNN) — The war between Israelis and Palestinians was far from over early Tuesday, but the most significant development in the past few hours was the release of two new hostages by the Hamas movement after Qatari and Egyptian mediation. An adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed to CNN. Israel will not allow fuel to enter the Gaza Strip “even if Hamas releases all its hostages.” Below we will tell you the main developments during this new battle:
Emir of Qatar: We support peace and adhere to international legal resolutions and resolutions against attacks on civilians, but we do not accept double standards and do not take into account the lives of Palestinian children.
A US Marine general is in Israel to advise the IDF ahead of the expected ground operation
Israeli Army: The soldier killed on Sunday was the first person killed in Gaza since October 7
One of the doctors: Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza could become a “mass grave” if it runs out of fuel
White House: We don’t believe the time is right for a cease-fire, calling on Hamas to release hostages in Gaza first.
