Humanitarian truce ‘unlikely’ to become permanent ceasefire in Gaza: Count

Doctor Gilberto Condeprofessor and researcher Center for Asian and African Studies (CEEA) from the College of Mexico, spoke Wednesday morning at Aristegui Live on pause for humanitarian aid in the conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, which is expected to come into force for at least four days, sometime on Thursday, November 23.

In this regard, Conde noted that this “super important step” in the sense that it is necessary for the “massacre” that has occurred since the start of the war on October 7, which also underlines the urgency of reaching an agreement on release 50 Israeli hostages kidnapped by a military groupand 150 Palestinian prisoners locked in Israeli prisonsOn both sides, mostly minors under 19 years of age, he emphasized.

However, he emphasized that this “only a truce” and although on their basis it is possible to achieve progress towards establishing a permanent ceasefire, the position of the Israeli leader, Prime Minister Benjamin NetanyahuI decided it was just a pause.

“Unfortunately, Netanyahu said he was going to continue the war.”– added the count. “The main goal is not hostages, but to end Hamas.”

As specified, the release of the remaining 190 people, according to Israeli estimates, is government’s second priority at the moment, and the third priority item is “to avoid any danger to Israel in the future”.

The President’s position means not only that it is difficult to achieve a permanent ceasefire, but also that puts hostages and Palestinian civilians at risk in Gaza.

Despite this, he added that This will be a “respite” that will allow 300 trucks of humanitarian aid to be delivered daily. for a minimum of four days, which were agreed upon, with the possibility of extension to a maximum of ten days, not only for the south of the enclave, where Israel has called for the population to move, but throughout the Gaza Strip, where it has confirmed “We have attacks that are crimes against humanity” against doctors, UN workers in the Gaza Strip for humanitarian work and children.

As for when the truce would begin, he said it was scheduled for 10 a.m. Thursday, but some Israeli officials had not agreed on the exact time, so “There appears to be no consensus on the decision” on the issue.
