You said you agreed to a ceasefire... "Israel kills dozens of people in Gaza"

[Anchor]
The cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas, which seemed to be almost there, met a last-minute reef.

Israel has reserved approval of the Cabinet's ceasefire agreement, saying Hamas has broken its promise, but dozens of people have been killed again in Gaza by Israeli bombings.

Paramedics run to the emergency room with injured children.

Medical staff are rushing to take care of it, but the emergency room is already full of people who have been injured or killed.

Israel has bombed Gaza one after another despite a cease-fire agreement with the Palestinian militant group Hamas.

Again, many of the victims were women and children.

Israel blamed Hamas for breaking its promise.

At the last minute, part of the agreement was broken in order to force Israel to make concessions.

He also said he would not convene a cabinet meeting to approve the agreement until Hamas kept its promise.

The Israeli cabinet approved the ceasefire on the morning of the 16th, local time, and was scheduled to begin a ceasefire on Sunday, the 19th.

Of course Hamas jumped up and down.

It has already declared it fully accepts the agreement and warned that it may refuse to release the hostages it promised if Israel's attacks continue.

Mediators the United States and Qatar earlier said both Israel and Hamas had agreed to a three-phase cease-fire in which they would discuss a permanent cease-fire, stopping fighting for six weeks and exchanging hostages and Palestinian prisoners.

In a related development, Israeli media reported that Netanyahu needed time to appease the far-right "religious Zionist party," which has threatened to leave the coalition government in protest of the agreement.
