 The Zionist regime has attacked the home of the Hamdan family in the Khan Yunis refugee camp in southern Gaza, killing 14 Palestinians. In a situation where the brutal regime is bombarding residential areas and medical centers in the Gaza Strip, the spokesperson of UNICEF, which is affiliated with the United Nations, has said that the war is a war to brutally kill children. James Alder said: According to the Ministry of Health, the number of victims has reached 19,000 people, of which 40 percent are children. The large number of children killed in the war has led UNICEF to call the war a war against children, and if it continues for several more days or weeks, we will witness more children losing their lives due to negligence (by the international community) or diseases. A ceasefire is the only way to prevent people from dying of disease or starvation.

The crimes of the Zionists against the Palestinians Worsening the humanitarian situation in Gaza, on the one hand, and the failure of the Zionist army to achieve its military goals in the land war and suffering losses in the war have led the administration to discuss the possibility of a new ceasefire and to resume negotiations in the field. In relation to that, some news sources have indicated the trip made last Wednesday by Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the political office of Hamas, in Cairo. The Hebrew media have published conflicting news about the talks, where according to the Ha'aretz newspaper, the Hamas representative has gone to Cairo for the first time since the start of the war. Cairo and Doha however say that the hostage exchange issue cannot be resolved in the short term. Aharanot newspaper on the other hand has reported that Israel is currently trying to implement three principles in the negotiations, that is to negotiate a ceasefire and at the same time continue the war, to continue the negotiations where they managed in the first round and the third is to classify specific groups of hostages who will be released.

As reported by the Sputnik news agency, Israeli President Isaac Herzog said on Tuesday that Israel is ready for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip in order to free the remaining hostages. The Walla website, quoting Israeli officials and a foreign source, has reported that the Zionist regime has informed the Qatari mediator about its readiness to stop the war for a week. Hamas leaders have repeatedly stressed that they will not negotiate a hostage exchange agreement before a permanent ceasefire and a complete cessation of hostilities. On the other hand, negotiations to establish a cease-fire and prevent the United States from using the veto to oppose the cease-fire have resumed in the Security Council. On December 17 this month, the United States, as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, opposed the resolution proposed by the United Arab Emirates, which was based on the request of the Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, to call for a ceasefire in Gaza Strip, despite getting the overwhelming support of 13 votes in the council.

 Among the 15 votes of the members of the Security Council, the resolution proposed by the UAE received 13 yes votes, one no from the United States and another from the United Kingdom that abstained from voting, where it was finally opposed by Washington through a veto. The action of the government of President Joe Biden of the United States was strongly criticized internationally. The action of the American tyranny and the illegal rule of Israel has led the resistance groups in the region to take action against those parties that use force against other nations, thereby expanding the scope of the war and making them take a regional direction. At the same time, the economy of the apartheid regime of Israel is facing a great risk of disintegration due to the endangerment of the safety of its commercial ships in the waters of the Red Sea.
