As the deadline for the first phase of the ceasefire agreement approaches, Israel has blocked the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.

With the ongoing war in Gaza and the worsening humanitarian situation, Israel’s decision to halt humanitarian aid has sparked strong reactions.

Meanwhile, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz has reported that Steve Witkoff, a U.S. representative, may intervene as a mediator. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to resist implementing the second phase of the agreement.<\/p>\n
