JP reported on the postponement of the Hamas cease-fire in the Gaza Strip

The Palestinian Hamas movement intends to sign a cease-fire agreement in the Gaza Strip, but first it will delay time to create favorable terms for Palestine. This was reported on July 25 by The Jerusalem Post (JP) newspaper with reference to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

"The military claims that the reason for the current famine in Gaza is not that food security is worse now than at any other point in the war, but that Hamas is raising this issue now, during the ceasefire negotiations," the newspaper noted.

According to the newspaper, there is no hunger in the Gaza Strip, but there is a problem of food insecurity. Despite this, Israel, according to JP, is trying to convince the UN to send 900 trucks with humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
