'Hamas broke its promise'
America has blamed Hamas for ending the ceasefire. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Dubai from Israel soon after the ceasefire ended on Friday. Here he said- Hamas did not fulfill its promise. A terrorist attack was carried out in Jerusalem and rockets were fired at Israel before the ceasefire limit ended. Because of this the ceasefire could not be extended further.

Actually, after the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, the war started again on Friday. More than 50 rockets were fired from Gaza at central Israel. Israel retaliated. Soon after, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief General Herji Halevi held a long meeting with top commanders in Tel Aviv.

According to ‘Times of Israel’ – The decision was taken that ground operations will be intensified in Gaza. So far 14 thousand 800 Palestinians have died in the war. These include 6 thousand children.

On the other hand, Israeli President Isaac Herzog met Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the ongoing COP28 Climate Summit in Dubai. Hamas had appealed to UAE not to allow Israel to participate in the Climate Summit.

She was out on a walk on October 7 when she was taken hostage. She was somehow able to call her family.

Israel's Operation 'Swords of Iron' against 'Al-Aqsa Flood'
Hamas attacked Israel on 7 October. He named his operation against Israel 'Al-Aqsa Flood'. In response, the Israeli army started 'Swords of Iron' operation against Hamas. Hamas military commander Mohammed Deif had said - This attack is revenge for Israel's desecration of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. Actually, Israeli police had thrown grenades at Al-Aqsa Mosque in April 2023.

At the same time, Hamas spokesperson Ghazi Hamad told Al Jazeera - This action is our answer to those Arab countries which are growing closer to Israel. In recent days, media reports had claimed that Saudi Arabia may recognize Israel as a country on America's initiative.
