the european union announced to the zionist regime and it was decided that they should start from khan younis and step by step. to finish this work in gaza , but what really surprises us is that the zionist criminal regime has not adhered to any of the international treaties and agreements that it has so far turned its back on, and last night officially they don't accept it at all and they don't believe that this work should be done in the gaza strip, and with the type of management and thinking that the zionists have, in fact , this is a false line. mr. nikli and mr. farkhandepour are not willing to pull this big international plan and agree to the implementation of this plan, unless it is the fact that representatives of the zionist regime in the negotiations the presence and representatives of their own agreed to the provisions of this agreement in doh, so what happens when suddenly, an hour before the 8-hour ceasefire is supposed to be declared, they actually beat everyone and basically reject everything. you see, we have a few factions in the governing bodies of the zionist regime, we se
