Fragile Ceasefire Under Strain Amid Renewed Violence in Gaza
Tensions continue to escalate in Gaza as both Israel and Hamas grapple with a precarious ceasefire that has been tested by recent violence. Following a series of deadly airstrikes that killed numerous Palestinians, including at least 45 in a single day, questions arise about the sustainability of the US-brokered ceasefire. President Trump has asserted that the ceasefire remains intact, despite allegations from both sides of breaching the agreement. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have accused Hamas of targeting their troops, resulting in the deaths of two IDF soldiers, which has led to retaliatory strikes in Gaza. Meanwhile, humanitarian aid efforts remain on hold as the ceasefire faces its most significant challenges yet, with both parties exchanging blame for the ongoing conflict and renewed fighting further complicating peace efforts.
