Meeting in Egypt to stop Israel-Hamas war

Today is the 15th day of the Israel-Hamas war. Meanwhile, a summit is going on in Cairo under the leadership of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi to establish a ceasefire between the two sides. Representatives of more than 10 countries including Qatar, UAE, Italy, Spain, Greece, Canada and European Council are present in it.

At the summit, Palestine President Mahmoud Abbas said that no matter what the challenge, we will not leave our land and go anywhere else. He said that Israel has bombed schools, hospitals, women and children. They have violated every kind of human law.

Earlier, Jordan's King Abdullah II condemned the silence of Western countries on the deaths of Palestinians. He said that rendering Palestinians homeless is a matter of concern for the entire Arab world. Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi announced that Egypt's Rafah crossing will now remain open to help the people of Gaza.

The process of delivering essential goods to Palestinians has started through the Rafah crossing between Egypt and Gaza. So far, 20 trucks have reached Gaza with essential goods.

On the other hand, Israel has asked its citizens present in Muslim countries including Egypt, Jordan and Morocco to leave the country as soon as possible. Israelis have also been advised not to go to these countries. Israel's National Security Agency has expressed apprehension that people angry because of the war in these countries may target Israelis.

3 thousand tons of goods will reach Gaza in 200 trucks
According to the Times of Israel, after crossing the Rafah border, about 200 trucks have entered the Gaza border with 3 thousand tons of goods. During this time, it is expected that foreign citizens will leave Gaza and go to Egypt.

Orders have been given to evacuate Al-Quds Hospital in Gaza City. According to Al Jazeera's report, more than a thousand people are present in the hospital and surrounding areas. However, the hospital administration has refused to vacate it. About 12 thousand people made homeless by Israeli attacks are living here.

Hamas released 2 American citizens
Hamas released two American citizens on Friday night after Qatar's mediation. These two are mother and daughter Judith and Natalie. This is the first time since the war began that a hostage has been released. However, 200 people are still in the custody of Hamas. Hamas handed over both the women to the Red Cross, after which the Red Cross handed them over to Israel. However, bombing continues in Gaza.

US President Joe Biden has asked the US Parliament to release an emergency fund of $105 billion. Out of this, $10.6 billion will be given to Israel. Apart from this, $61.4 billion will be given to Ukraine to purchase weapons and other essential items.

On the other hand, after Hamas and Hezbollah, Yemen's Houthi rebels have also started attacking Israel. The Israeli army has not yet started ground operations in Gaza.

Plan released for ground operation in Gaza
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant told the Defense Committee meeting in Tel Aviv about Israel's war plan in the Gaza Strip. He said – We will first destroy Hamas's military capability and ability to run the government. In other words, we will root out Hamas. After this, a new security system will be created in Gaza.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said- The war will take place in 3 phases. We are in the first phase. In this we are destroying Hamas bases through air strikes. Will launch a ground attack soon. Will completely destroy their infrastructure. In the second phase, the soldiers will continue small operations and eliminate the secret agents of Hamas. After this, in the third phase, a new security system will be created in Gaza. Israel will have no role in this.

Israel also evacuated the city of Shamona
The Israeli government has evacuated the northern city of Kiryat Shmona. It is very close to the Lebanon border. There are continuous rocket and missile attacks on Israel from Lebanon. Therefore, it was necessary to keep the citizens safe.

An Israeli officer said – 20 thousand people living within a radius of about two kilometers have been removed from here. Hezbollah is carrying out attacks here. Our army also needed some special locations here to retaliate.

Israelis will be able to visit US without visa for 90 days
The Biden Administration has given new facilities to Israeli citizens amid the war. Israeli citizens will be able to visit America without a visa for 90 days. Earlier this scheme was to be launched on 30th November. According to the 'New York Times', this step will provide a lot of relief to those Israelis who want to go to America due to the war.

Last month, the US Homeland Security and State Department had approved such visa-free travel for people from 40 countries. November 30 was the date set for the Israelis. From this date they could apply online.

Biden said- Hamas-Putin want to destroy their neighboring democracy
The US Defense Ministry has said that the American warship USS Carney deployed in the Red Sea has intercepted 3 missiles. The Pentagon reported that Houthi rebels from Yemen had launched 3 missiles and several drones. They were moving north from Yemen, raising fears that the Houthi rebels were planning to attack Israel.

On the other hand, US President Biden addressed the nation from the White House on Thursday night. He said- The common thing between Hamas and Putin is that both of them want to destroy the democracy present in their neighborhood.

Biden said that if America retreats and the attackers succeed, then others may also make similar attempts in the future, which will increase the risk of conflict in many parts of the world. Biden said-Hamas wants to spread evil in the world. The most important task for me at this time is to liberate the American citizens held hostage.

He said- American leadership has kept this world together. America's allies keep America safe. American values make us a partner with whom the whole world wants to work. I will appeal to the Parliament for help to Israel and Ukraine.
