In this situation, the Palestinian independence movement Hamas has stated that in order to move to the second phase of ceasefire negotiations, all the conditions of the first phase must be fully implemented.
Although the organization has participated in talks with Egypt and other mediators, Hamas has accused Israel of repeatedly breaking the agreement and not adhering to key conditions such as troop withdrawal and redeployment, leaving the ceasefire process in limbo.
Gaza has been witnessing widespread loss of life and destruction since the war began in October 2023. The entire infrastructure has been damaged. According to the Gaza Health Ministry, 773 Palestinians have been killed and 2,171 injured in ongoing ceasefire violations so far.
