Palestinian movement Hamas put a condition for compliance with the truce with Israel. It is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the head of the head of the Politburo of the Organization of Tacher An Nono.
According to him, Hamas will observe a truce if Israel also adheres to him. The representative of the movement noted that the agreement on the mutual and simultaneous cease-fire in the Gaza sector will begin to operate from 2 am (Moscow time) Friday, May 21.
Previously, Israel received an Egyptian initiative on the bilateral cessation of fire with Palestine. According to the official statement of the press service of the government, the Israeli Cabinet of Security Ministers unanimously voted for this decision. It is noted that the bilateral cessation of fire will come into force later.
The aggravation of the conflict between Palestine and Israel began with clashes in East Jerusalem. Then, on May 10, the 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, 10 Israelis and 220 residents of the Gaza sector were killed from the beginning of the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
