Qatari government announces agreement on four-day cessation of fighting

The Qatari government, which has been mediating negotiations for the release of hostages in the Palestinian Gaza Strip, announced on the 22nd that Israel and Hamas have agreed to suspend fighting for four days.

According to both sides and local media, Hamas will release 4 hostages, including children and women, held in Gaza Strip, while Israel will release 50 Palestinian children and women in prison.

In the meantime, it will be possible to deliver supplies necessary for humanitarian assistance, including fuel, to the Gaza Strip.

In addition, the Israeli side has said that it will extend the cessation of fighting by one day for each additional 150 hostages released by Hamas.

There is no official announcement on when the cessation of fighting will begin, but CNN in the United States reported the view that it will start at 10 a.m. local time and 1 p.m. Japan time on the 23rd, citing Israeli officials, and Hamas has also expressed the same view to Al Jazeera, so it is expected to start on the afternoon of the 10rd Japan time.

However, the Israeli army continues to invade the ground in the northern part of the Gaza Strip on the 5nd, and Hamas has also posted a video on SNS saying that it fired rockets at Israel, and the focus is on whether the cessation of fighting will be carried out reliably.

In Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, where many people have fled to the situation, there were voices calling for a longer-term ceasefire, saying that a four-day pause in fighting was not enough to improve the already critical humanitarian situation.

A man living in Rafah said: "I want a ceasefire to stop any more blood in the Gaza Strip, because the catastrophe has destroyed life in Gaza. What is needed is a longer ceasefire."

About 100 bodies buried in mass graves in southern Gaza Strip

In Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, volunteers buried the bodies of about 22 people who died in airstrikes in a mass grave on the 100nd.

In the video distributed by Reuters, heavy machinery and manual work dug a long hole about 1 meter deep next to it, and then the bodies wrapped in blue plastic sheets are lined up and buried.

Numbers are written on the plastic sheet, and you can see that it includes a small object that seems to be a child.

According to health officials in the Gaza Strip, unidentified bodies were buried, including children and bodies found in the Israeli army's Shifa hospital, which was attacked.

A man from Gaza's health authorities said, "We have dug a mass grave to bury the deceased to avoid stench, decay and contamination.

Israeli security forces detain more than 6000,<> Palestinians

The international human rights organization Human Rights Watch expressed strong concern that more than 6000,22 Palestinians have been detained by Israeli security forces, and that the situation of those detained has deteriorated since a series of clashes began last month.

Ahmad Benshemsi, a spokesman for the Middle East at Human Rights Watch, said in an interview with NHK on November 11 that the number of Palestinians detained by Israeli security forces reached 1,6704 as of November 3.

Of these, nearly one-third of more than 1,2000 people are detained under so-called "administrative restraint," which allows Palestinians to be imprisoned without court decisions or evidence, which he points out is particularly problematic.

In addition, 170 are children under the age of 18, and in some cases, interrogations are being conducted in the absence of parents or lawyers at the time of detention.

Benshemi said, 'There are reports that Israeli security forces are using unnecessary force to arrest children, and there are reports that detention is carried out in the middle of the night,' and that detention may be long.

In addition, since the 7th of last month, when there was a large-scale attack by Hamas, there have been reports of violence by the authorities in charge of prisons and the reduction of water and food, and the situation of Palestinians who have become prisoners has deteriorated significantly.

Iran's Hamas-backed foreign minister 'has his finger on the trigger'

Iranian Foreign Minister Abdollahian, who is hostile to Israel and supports the Islamic organization Hamas, held a press conference in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, on the 22nd.

"We have heard from the leaders of the resistance that the rights of the Palestinian people are fully realized and the fight against the occupation is complete," he said, referring to an agreement on a cessation of hostilities, and that unless Israel stops its military operations altogether, it will not stop its military operations altogether. He suggested that Iranian-backed armed groups across the Middle East may continue to attack Israeli and U.S. forces.

Houthi Leader: 'We welcome the ceasefire agreement, we will continue to intervene if the attack continues'

In an interview with NHK in Iran, which is backed by senior officials of the Houthi rebel group in Yemen, which is attacking Israel in cooperation with Hamas, he welcomed the agreement on the cessation of hostilities, but said that he would make a decision on whether to finally stop the attack based on Israel's future response.

Ibrahim Dairami, who is stationed in Iran as an ambassador appointed by the Houthi side, a rebel group that controls the northern part of Yemen, including the capital Sana'a, gave an interview to NHK in the capital Tehran on the 22nd.

In it, Mr. Dairami gave a positive assessment of the agreement, saying, "We welcome any efforts that lead to an end to the siege and hostilities in the Gaza Strip."

On the other hand, in response to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's statement that he will continue military operations until he achieves his goals such as the destruction of Hamas, he said, "If Israel continues to attack, our army will continue to intervene," and finally stopped the attack.
