Harris, speaking on Sunday in front of the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, where state troopers beat US civil rights marchers nearly six decades ago, called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and urged Hamas to accept a deal to release hostages in return for a 6-week cessation of hostilities.
āPeople in Gaza are starving. The conditions are inhumane and our common humanity compels us to act,ā Harris said at an event to commemorate the 59th anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Alabama.
On Sunday, a Hamas delegation had arrived in Cairo for the latest round of ceasefire talks, billed by many as the final possible hurdle for a truce, but it was unclear if any progress was made. Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronothās online version reported that Israel boycotted the talks after Hamas rejected its demand for a complete list naming hostages who are still alive.
āWe saw hungry, desperate people approach aid trucks simply trying to secure food their family after weeks of barely no aid reaching northern Gaza and they were met with gunfire and chaos,ā Harris said.
Military spokesperson Daniel Hagari said Israeli troops at the scene initially fired only warning shots, though they later shot at some ālootersā who āapproached our forces and posed an immediate threatā.
Harris calls for immediate cease-fire āfor at least the next six weeksā in Gaza [Nick Robertson | 03/03/24 | The Hill]
Ceasefire is the first step too peace, but I can also see Israel stop the bombing and stopping all food from coming in
The thing is: Netanyahu has already said heās gonna enter Rafah, ceasefire or no ceasefire.
