Hamas Demands Increased International Pressure on Israel for Ceasefire's Next Phase
Hamas has urgently called for international pressure on Israel to advance the next phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, citing alleged Israeli violations that are hindering progress. For the truce to proceed, Hamas demands the full reopening of the Rafah border crossing, an end to Israeli strikes, and increased humanitarian aid, while Israel insists on the return of the last hostage's remains amidst ongoing fragile negotiations.
