Overview
- The Israeli prime minister’s office accused Hamas of breaching the ceasefire and not complying with President Trump’s Gaza plan, citing a mine blast in southern Gaza that injured an Israel Defense Forces officer.
- Israel said Hamas’s refusal to disarm constitutes a flagrant breach and pledged to respond in what it called an appropriate manner.
- Turkey’s foreign minister Hakan Fidan met a Hamas delegation led by Khalil al‑Hayya to discuss the second stage of the Gaza plan and Turkey’s efforts on housing and humanitarian relief.
- Hamas told Turkish officials it is observing the truce but says Israeli strikes are preventing progress to the plan’s next phase and that roughly 60% of trucks allowed into Gaza carry commercial goods rather than aid.
- The ceasefire has been in place since October 10, Hamas alleges more than 900 Israeli violations, and the UN Security Council backed the U.S. approach in mid‑November while implementation of the second stage remains delayed by mutual accusations.
