Blocking aid to Gaza

Israeli forces have killed at least 4 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip after the regime refused to proceed to phase two of a previously outlined ceasefire process. Another 6 Palestinians were also wounded by Israeli gunfire in the cities of Beit Hanoun, Rafah and Khan Yunis. Israel also suspended the entry of humanitarian supplies into Gaza in order to pressure Hamas into accepting a change in the ceasefire agreement. The Palestinian resistance movement slammed the ban as “cheap blackmail” and a “coup” against the ceasefire deal. Israel wants to extend phase one of the ceasefire and secure the release of its captives in Gaza without pulling out its troops from the strip as required in the second stage. Hamas says the regime bears responsibility for the fate of the captives.

Gaza ceasefire deal

The Islamic Jihad, has also slammed Israel for what it called sabotaging the ceasefire in Gaza. The Palestinian resistance movement said the regime bears responsibility for the consequences of sabotaging the ceasefire. The Islamic Jihad also reaffirmed its own and other resistance factions’ commitment to the ceasefire based on the three phases. It vowed to abide by what has been agreed upon.
