Israel-Hamas Ceasefire on Brink of Collapse Over Geisel Dispute

Tensions rise as both sides accuse each other of violations, with a Saturday deadline looming for the release of remaining hostages.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has threatened to resume military action if Hamas does not release all remaining hostages by Saturday afternoon.
Hamas has suspended further hostage releases, citing alleged Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement, including delays in allowing displaced Palestinians to return to northern Gaza.
The ceasefire, in place since mid-January, has facilitated some humanitarian aid and the partial return of displaced residents, but remains fragile due to mutual accusations of breaches.
US President Donald Trump has issued a stark ultimatum to Hamas, warning of severe consequences if hostages are not freed by the deadline, while reiterating his controversial plan for relocating Gaza's population.
International mediators, including Egypt and Qatar, are scrambling to salvage the ceasefire, with concerns mounting over the potential for renewed violence and further humanitarian crises.
