Electricity Crisis in Gaza Ramzan Israel Stops Supply Before Hamas Talks

Israel-hamas war: The conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Middle East has reached a new turn. Israel has announced to shut down the power supply to the Gaza Strip, which can deepen the humanitarian crisis in the already struggling area.

In fact, this move of Israel is being seen as a strategy to pressurize Hamas, so that it accepts the terms of Israel in the second phase of the ceasefire talks.

Effects of shutting down power supply
More than 2 million people of Gaza will be affected by this. Desalination plants will not get electricity to clean water, which will lead to lack of drinking water. The crisis on hospitals, schools and other basic services may deepen. Gaza is already dependent on generators and solar panels, but this is not enough.

Israeli strategy to pressurize Hamas
Israel also stopped the supply of all goods in Gaza a week ago. This step is an attempt to force Hamas to accept the expansion of the first phase of the ceasefire. Israel is in favor of extending this phase by mid -April, while Hamas wants to start the second phase conversation immediately.

Hamas reaction
Hamas has condemned this move of Israel and said that it will further increase the human crisis. Hamas spokesman Hazam Qasim said, “We appeal to the intermediary of Egypt and Qatar as well as the US administration to force Israel to follow the terms of the agreement.” Hamas says that talks should begin immediately at the second phase of the ceasefire.

Israel attacked an air attack in northern Gaza
Israel carried out airstrikes in North Gaza on Sunday (March 09, 2025). This attack took place at a time when preparations for a new talks between Hamas and Israel were going on in Doha. In the last few days, Israel has carried out daily attacks on Gaza, but the situation of full war has not been created yet.

International reaction
Explain that the United States, Qatar and Egypt have supported talks to make the ceasefire permanent in Gaza. Human organizations have condemned the stoppage of electricity and food supply in Gaza. International pressure on Israel may increase not to disrupt relief work in Gaza.
