Israel accuses Hamas of violating ceasefire, will reduce aid to Gaza
Global News
Israel told the U.N. it will only allow 300 aid trucks into Gaza, half the agreed daily number, and that no fuel or gas will be allowed in except for specific needs.
Israel restricted aid into Gaza and kept the enclave’s border shut on Tuesday while re-emergent Hamas fighters demonstrated their grip by executing men in the street, darkening the outlook for U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan to end the war.
Israel told the United Nations it will only allow 300 aid trucks into Gaza – half the agreed daily number – from Wednesday, and that no fuel or gas will be allowed in, except for specific needs related to humanitarian infrastructure, according to a note seen by Reuters and confirmed by the United Nations.
The note from COGAT, the arm of the Israeli military that oversees aid flows into Gaza, said the restrictions were being taken because “Hamas violated the agreement regarding the release of the bodies of the hostages.”
“We’ve seen COGAT’s communication, and we encourage all parties to adhere to the parameters and agreements set out in the ceasefire,” said Eri Kaneko, a spokesperson for the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
“We also hope the remains of all deceased hostages will be returned and that implementation of the ceasefire agreement moves forward.”
U.S. officials and international aid groups were also notified, according to three Associated Press sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the matter. The Israeli government did not immediately comment.
Trump said on Tuesday Phase Two of the ceasefire deal now begins, but also noted the delay in handing over the deceased.
“THE DEAD HAVE NOT BEEN RETURNED, AS PROMISED! Phase Two begins right NOW!!!” he said in a post on Truth Social.
