May 9, 2024 Israel-Hamas war

What we covered here

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said US President Joe Biden made a mistake after the US paused sending a shipment of bombs to Israel so that they would not used in an invasion of the southern Gaza city of Rafah.

Additionally, an Israeli military spokesperson said it has the weapons it needs for the missions it is planning in Gaza.

Two US officials told CNN there’s a “pause” in the ceasefire-for-hostage talks in Gaza while Israel steps up its military operation in Rafah.

This comes as Hamas demanded Israel agree upfront to a 12-week ceasefire rather than six weeks, creating major obstacles in negotiations, according to three sources familiar with the deliberations.

我们在这里讨论了什么

以色列总理本杰明·内塔尼亚胡表示，美国总统乔·拜登犯了一个错误，因为美国暂停向以色列运送一批炸弹，以免这些炸弹被用于入侵加沙南部城市拉法。

此外，以色列军方发言人表示，以色列拥有在加沙执行计划任务所需的武器。

两名美国官员告诉 CNN，由于以色列在拉法加强了军事行动，加沙地带的停火换取人质谈判暂时“暂停”。

据三位熟悉谈判情况的消息人士透露，哈马斯要求以色列事先同意 12 周的停火，而不是 6 周，这给谈判造成了重大障碍。
