The Israeli war cabinet unanimously voted to continue the attack on Hamas’s last stronghold in Rafah and also sent diplomats to Cairo to explore the possibility of a ceasefire. Despite Hamas’s ceasefire proposal not meeting Israel’s requirements, a delegation will be sent to negotiate under acceptable conditions. This decision followed Hamas announcing a ceasefire and Israel warning residents to evacuate Rafah. The White House reacted to Hamas’s agreement, but details of the ceasefire were unknown. The IDF conducted targeted strikes in Rafah, leading to celebrations by Hamas despite Israel not acknowledging the ceasefire. The situation reflects the words of former Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin on fighting terrorism and seeking peace.
