Nato Secretary General calls for extension of ceasefire in Gaza Strip
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has called for an extension of the ceasefire between Israel and the radical Islamic Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Such an extension would "enable the urgently needed aid for the people in Gaza and the release of further hostages", said Stoltenberg, one day before the NATO foreign ministers' meeting.
Following protracted negotiations mediated by Qatar, the USA and Egypt, Israel and Hamas had agreed on a four-day ceasefire, which is currently due to end on Tuesday night. Among other things, the agreement provides for the release of a total of 50 Israeli hostages and 150 Palestinian prisoners. However, the agreement also provides for the possibility of extending the ceasefire if ten more hostages are released on each additional day.
For the ceasefire in Gaza Strip to be extended, the NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg advocates for mutual agreement between Israel and Hamas. Such an extension, as suggested by Stoltenberg, could facilitate the provision of much-needed aid for the people in Gaza and potentially lead to the release of more hostages.
Help in extending the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip is required from both parties, Israel and Hamas, to ensure the well-being of the people and release of additional hostages. The stance towards ceasefire extension, as presented by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, aligns with this need for cooperation.
In the Gaza Strip, an inevitable consideration for both Israel and Hamas in the context of the ongoing ceasefire is potential extension of the truce, as suggested by the NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. Such an extension might bring relief to the people by allowing humanitarian aid and further prisoner releases.
