But fresh attacks from the IDF have left some people in the besieged territory wondering if they'll survive until Sunday when the ceasefire is set to begin.Chris Gunness, the former chief spokesperson for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refuges, tells News Breakfast that Gaza needs to be "flooded with humanitarian aid" to ensure the ceasefire deal goes through.
He tells ABC's News Channel that Israel is a very divided society and Itamar Ben-Gvir, the minister of national security of Israel, represents a very extreme "almost fascist, right-wing" part of the government. A ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas has been delayed after Benjamin Netanyahu delayed a vote on whether to approve it
"The last one was just 500 metres from our guest house and office, and they have really ramped up over the last couple of days as becoming hopefully close to the announcement of the ceasefire agreement.""I say to Benjamin Netanyahu, don't be afraid or intimidated, you will get every safety net you need to make the hostage deal," Lapid posted on social media platform X.
Meanwhile, dozens gathered to protest against the game being held, while several others celebrated the ceasefire just south of the arena. Several journalists who are outspoken critics of US support for Israel heckled Antony Blinken over the war in Gaza.
