An expectation of American “pressure” on Israel

\n\nBy calling on the United States, Hamas hopes to see a " pressure " sufficient exercise on the State of Israel to push the latter to accept a ceasefire. This urgent need for a stable truce arises from the escalation of violence that continues to shake the Israeli-Palestinian border for several days now, with heavy loss of life on both sides.\n\n

The importance of a permanent ceasefire in Gaza
