Israel announced on Sunday that it will halt all humanitarian aid to Gaza unless Hamas agrees to extend the fragile ceasefire. Hamas condemned the decision, calling it a “war crime.”
The Israeli Prime Minister’s office warned of unspecified “additional consequences” if Hamas rejects a US-backed ceasefire proposal. The initial truce phase, which allowed a surge in aid, expired Saturday. Negotiations for a second phase, involving a hostage release and a lasting ceasefire, remain unresolved.
The US proposal seeks an extension through Ramadan and Passover, ending April 20, with hostages released in stages. Hamas has yet to respond.
