New York: The Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres has called on Hamas to \u201cimmediately\u201d release the hostages without keeping any sort of conditions.<\/p>\n
In a post on social media platform X, Guterres made two humanitarian appeals amid the present situation in the Middle East.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we are on the verge of the abyss in the Middle East, I have two humanitarian appeals: To Hamas, the hostages must be immediately released without conditions,\u201d he posted.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo Israel, rapid & unimpeded access for humanitarian aid must be granted for the sake of the civilians in Gaza,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Each one of these two objectives is valid in themselves. They should not become bargaining chips and they must be implemented because it is the right thing to do,\u201d Guterres said in a statement, adding that \u201cGaza is running out of water, electricity and other essential supplies,\u201d The Times of Israel reported.<\/p>\n
According to the latest update, 1300 people have been killed, with over 3600 injured, reported The Jerusalem Post.
\nDefence Minister Gallant said that on an estimate, 150-200 Israelis are being held hostage by Hamas in the Gaza Strip, adding, \u201cWe are making every effort to locate them even in this great complexity.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the latest update, 1,300 people have been killed and over 3600 injured in the Hamas terror attacks, reported The Jerusalem Post. As Israel continues to retaliate against Hamas, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday said that Hamas thought Israel would break, but \u201cWe will break Hamas,\u201d reported The Times of Israel.<\/p>\n
During the weekly cabinet meeting, the Prime Minister along with ministers stood in silence for a minute and paid tribute to those who lost their lives in the deadly Hamas attack.<\/p>\n
\u201cHamas thought we would break; we will break Hamas,\u201d Netanyahu said.<\/p>\n
He further stressed that Israel is working in unity and it conveys a clear message to Hamas and to the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are working around the clock as a team, with a united front,\u201d he says. \u201cOur unity conveys a clear message to the people, the enemy, and to the world,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The ministers shared a moment of silence, during which, Netanyahu said, \u201cIn memory of our brothers and sisters who were murdered in cold blood, and our heroic warriors who fell in battle.\u201d<\/p>\n
Netanyahu noted that it was the first meeting of the emergency war government and that five members of the National Unity Party were present Benny Gantz, Gadi Eisenkot, Chili Tropper, Gideon Sa\u2019ar, and Yifat Shasha-Biton.
\nMoreover, he emphasized that the entire nation is behind the front-line warriors of Israel.<\/p>\n
\u201cI saw our wonderful warriors who are now on the front line. They know that the entire nation is behind them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey understand the magnitude of the task. They are ready to act at any moment, to exterminate the bloody monsters that rose up against us,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
