Israel Halts Aid to Gaza Amid Ceasefire Dispute with Hamas

UN and humanitarian groups call for immediate resumption of aid as tensions rise over stalled truce agreement.

Israel has suspended the entry of humanitarian aid and goods into Gaza, citing Hamas's rejection of a U.S.-proposed truce extension until mid-April.
The United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has urged for the immediate resumption of aid and the release of all hostages to prevent a return to conflict.
Hamas has condemned the Israeli decision as a violation of the ceasefire agreement and labeled it a 'war crime,' demanding international intervention.
The U.S. has announced an expedited delivery of $4 billion in military aid to Israel, intensifying international focus on the ongoing crisis.
The ceasefire agreement, initially brokered in January, remains in jeopardy as both sides disagree on the implementation of its second phase, which includes prisoner exchanges and further de-escalation.
