Summary
Israel's proposed 'Witkoff plan' aims to extend a ceasefire and secure the release of hostages from Hamas. However, the halt of humanitarian aid has drawn sharp criticism from Egypt and other Arab nations, accusing Israel of using aid as a weapon. Amid growing tensions, negotiations remain stalled, and Hamas denounces Israel's latest strategy as a ploy to evade agreements. As public unrest grows over the fate of hostages held by Hamas, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu faces mounting pressure amid fears of renewed conflict, further complicating the fragile situation in Gaza.
Perspectives
Israel is pushing for an extended ceasefire plan linked to the return of hostages, despite the expiration of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement without clarity on the second phase.
Hamas is accused of manipulating the situation and refusing to engage in negotiations for the next stage of the ceasefire, putting the peace process at risk.
The international community is urging for negotiations to resume, while Israel insists that any extension of aid to Gaza must come with commitments from Hamas regarding hostages.
