On Sunday, march 3, US Vice President Kamala harris demanded an urgent cease-fire in Gaza. In order to address the "inhumane" circumstances and "humanitarian catastrophe" among the Palestinian people, she also encouraged israel to expand the flow of aid. Speaking at a gathering in Selma, Alabama to honor the anniversary of "Bloody Sunday," harris said the things." "People are going hungry in Gaza. "We must act because the conditions are inhumane and because of our shared humanity," harris allegedly stated. "The Israeli government needs to take further action to significantly increase the supply of humanitarian aid. There are no justifications.
According to an Israeli daily, israel skipped Sunday's Gaza ceasefire negotiations in Cairo because Hamas would not reveal the identities of the detainees who are still alive. "Hamas says it's in favor of a truce. Indeed, there's a contract on the table. Furthermore, Hamas must accept that agreement, as we have stated," harris stated. "Let's arrange for a truce. Let us bring the captives' families back together. And let us give the Gazan people urgent help."
