Egypt pushes cease-fire as Gaza violence escalates
By Fares Akram and Tia Goldenberg, Associated Press, Gaza City
Transcribed from the clipping
“GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Egyptian mediators worked to end a flare-up between Israel and Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip on Sunday… Wissam Jouda, who lives next to the house of a militant leader, said he was told to leave… Ahmed al-Qaissi, another neighbor, said the army had called him too… The dead included Khaled Mansour, a senior Islamic Jihad commander, and members of his family… Hamas, the larger group that rules Gaza, has stayed out of the fighting, possibly because it fears Israeli reprisals and undoing economic understandings with Israel, including Israeli work permits for thousands of Gaza residents, that bolster its control.”
Context added by this archive
The economic arrangement that governed Gaza until October 2023, set out in an American newspaper in August 2022: work permits, and a calculation about them attributed to Hamas by the Associated Press.
