Iran Press/West Asia: Hamas spokesperson Jihad Taha announced on Thursday that the group would observe the ceasefire, allowing international agencies to carry out the vaccination program. Taha highlighted the importance of Israel's cooperation in the truce, stressing that the ceasefire must be fully respected by both sides to ensure the success of the humanitarian effort.
"Israel must not evade or procrastinate," Taha warned in an interview with Al-Araby Al-Jadeed. "They must fully commit to this truce and avoid imposing conditions that could undermine the vaccination process."
The announcement follows a report from Israeli Channel 13, which claimed that Israeli authorities had also agreed to the temporary ceasefire to facilitate the polio vaccination campaign in the enclave. The truce marks a rare moment of pause in the ongoing Israeli geocide, which has taken a devastating toll on civilians in the region.
As international agencies prepare to enter Gaza for the vaccination campaign, the success of this truce could provide a brief but crucial respite for the people of the Gaza Strip, who continue to bear the brunt of the US-Israeli genocide in Gaza.
