Palestine hopes to agree on the cease-fire with Israel in the next two or three days. Such the desired timing of the truce in conversation with “Ribbon.ru” called the ambassador of the country in Moscow Abdel Hafiz Nofal.
Nofal said that as the main mediator in the traffic negotiations between Palestine and Israel is Egypt. However, while Israel rejected Cairo’s proposals for the cessation of fire, the ambassador noted. According to him, the conflict began in Jerusalem, with the eviction of Palestinian families from the Quarter Sheikh-Jarry, so the responsibility for the achievement of the truce lies in Israel.
“If the international community in the face of Egypt is able to stop the attacks of Israel to the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian factions will immediately cease their response,” said Nofal. At the same time, according to the diplomat, even if the parties succeed in agreeing on the truce tomorrow, the Gaza sector has already caused irreparable damage, and Anclave will require international assistance in recovery.
The aggravation of the conflict between Palestine and Israel began with clashes against the background of the decision of the Israeli authorities to evict four Palestinian families from the Quarter Sheikh-Jarry in East Jerusalem. On May 10, Palestinian groupings of Hamas and Islamic jihad, based in the Gaza Strip, began a massive shelling of Israel – a total of over three thousand missiles were issued in the country. In response, the Israeli army called on five thousand reservists and inflicts air strikes for goals in the Gaza Strip. Clashs are still. According to the latest data, with the beginning of the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, ten Israelis and 220 residents of the Gaza Strip were killed.
