The US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, has expressed frustration at the Hamas response to the latest proposed ceasefire deal with Israel.

Key Points: 
  • The US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, has expressed frustration at the Hamas response to the latest proposed ceasefire deal with Israel.
  • What this tells us perhaps is that Hamas is also negotiating with itself, due to its divided leadership of Ismail Haniyeh in Qatar and Yahya Sinwar in Gaza.
  • The success makes him stronger against his far-right government partners, and gives him a new authority as his cabinet debates the ceasefire plan.
  • Significantly, an international gathering in Jordan this week has already begin to address this issue.

Hamas divided

  • For example, Hamas is demanding that Israel begins withdrawing its forces from Gaza in the first week of a ceasefire.
  • Hamas is asking for guarantees from several countries, including Russia, China and Turkey, that its revised plan will be implemented.
  • The new Hamas demands also indicate that Sinwar has the upper hand at the moment over the more politically sophisticated Haniyeh.

It did so, it said, because of insufficient assurances that Israel would abide by the deal’s terms.

Key Points: 
  • It did so, it said, because of insufficient assurances that Israel would abide by the deal’s terms.
  • China supported the resolution, but doubted whether there had been notable developments since the previous ceasefire motion.
  • Prominent among these are how the war goes from here, the Israeli political environment and the extent of pressure on Israel from the Washington for a ceasefire.
  • Hamas may have had huge losses of its own, but it is becoming clear that it has not been defeated.

Taking the bait

  • Moreover, this would have included planning for multiple scenarios, most of them no doubt focused on a very strong Israeli retaliation.
  • Remember that barely three weeks into the war, some analysts were already pointing to the dangers for Israel of embarking on a ground invasion.
  • The aim may have been to undermine civilian support for the insurgents, but inevitably Palestinian casualties went through the roof.

It’s not known how many people are buried beneath the rubble of the more than half of Gaza’s buildings that are reported to have been destroyed.

Key Points: 
  • It’s not known how many people are buried beneath the rubble of the more than half of Gaza’s buildings that are reported to have been destroyed.
  • Of those, 116 remain in Hamas hands, although one-third of these are now thought to have died.
  • Or, as he put it: “A deal that the entire world is behind, that Israel has accepted, and Hamas could have answered with a single word: ‘yes’.
  • The resignation doesn’t affect the numbers a great deal – Netanyahu still commands 64 of the 120 Knesset members.

Two divided houses

  • One is in Gaza, led by military chief Yahya Sinwar, and one is in Doha, led by political chief Ismail Haniyeh.
  • Haniyeh, meanwhile, wants to plot a future for Gaza (with a role for Hamas) after the fighting stops.
  • At that stage, what complicated the issue was that Hamas did not recognise the existence of the state of Israel.

  • Almost all sales markets in both Europe and North America were robust, with sales volumes remaining largely unchanged.
  • Exceptions to this were the weak development of demand in the UK and the noticeable increase in demand in the core market of Germany.
