Overview

  • The Israeli government has blocked humanitarian aid to Gaza following disagreements with Hamas over the next phase of a fragile ceasefire agreement.
  • Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Hamas of severe consequences unless remaining Israeli hostages in Gaza are released; 58 hostages, including 34 declared dead, are still unaccounted for.
  • Hamas accuses Israel of attempting to derail the truce and has rejected an American-backed proposal for extending the ceasefire, demanding Israel's withdrawal and the lifting of Gaza's blockade.
  • The humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens, with 2.4 million residents facing shortages of food and supplies; the UN and international organizations have called for the immediate resumption of aid deliveries.
  • Arab states and the European Union have criticized both Israel's aid blockade and Hamas's refusal to compromise, warning that the impasse risks reigniting violence in the region.
