The European Union announced a joint agreement with Israel on Thursday (10) to increase the distribution of humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip. The conversations took place amid criticism of the Israeli plan to distribute Enclave supplies, considered a disaster because of disorganization, as well as violence and death against people who were in line of hunger.
Treating between both parties provides for an increase in Gaza supply collection points, which had only four, including one out -of -maintenance activity. The operation will have the collaboration of the UN and other humanitarian bodies, not being a direct agreement with the Gaza Foundation, an entity supported by Israel and the United States, criticized for killing hungry Palestinians.
The narrowing of relations between European Union and Israel may indicate an approximation between the government of Benjamin Netanyahu, which faces various questions about human rights violations and war crimes in Palestinian territory. The signaling to European allies is viewed by the international media as a sign that a possible ceasefire agreement between Israeli forces and Hamas can be announced next week.
Speculation gained strength after the country’s prime minister visited US President Donald Trump in the White House. The Washington government suggested a 60 -day trip truce in the enclave, as well as returning control of supply distribution to the UN. In return, Hamas would have to return 10 hostages still alive, in addition to the bodies of 18 others who died during the captive period.
One of the main impasses for the realization of an agreement between both parties is the withdrawal of the Israeli troops from Gaza, something required by the extremist group. Benjamin Netanyahu refuses the demand, claiming that this would give Hamas a gap reorganizing, rearfing, and attacking Israel again.
