The status of the ceasefire in Gaza is rapidly deteriorating after a series of Israeli bombardments in response to what Netanyahu's government considers a violation of the ceasefire by Palestinian fighters. Israel resumed the blockade of the Gaza Strip, restricting the entry of basic supplies. The attacks have left 36 Palestinians dead, increasing tensions in the region and putting the ceasefire at risk. Israel's decision to block humanitarian aid challenges the agreement that initially allowed the ceasefire, exacerbating the dire situation in Gaza, where the UN had already declared famine.
The White House is trying to salvage the agreement, which is perceived as an American diplomatic achievement, while the Israeli government, after meetings with senior military commanders, promises a firm response against Hamas. Hamas, for its part, asserts its commitment to the truce, although it denounces alleged violations by Israel. Tensions are rising with exchanges of accusations and the threat of resuming large-scale hostilities. The United States has warned of a possible violation by Hamas, as it prepares a delegation to reinforce the agreement. The situation worsens with demands for stronger actions by Israel's Minister of National Security, generating a climate of uncertainty about the future of the truce.
