israel, gaza, egypt - Ceasefire between Israel and Hamas hits deadlock as Israel's incursions and attacks persist, prohibiting passage to north of Gaza.
Current Situation
The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas faces a deadlock as Israel's continuous attacks and incursions create tension. Hamas releases 200 Palestinians following the release of four Israeli women soldiers, but the absence of Arbel Yehud escalates the situation.
Escalating Tensions
The Israeli military accuses Hamas of holding Arbel Yehud, leading to restrictions on civilians trying to enter the northern part of Gaza. The issue of Yehud's release disrupts the negotiation process.
Prisoner Exchange
The recent prisoner exchange agreement results in 70 Palestinians being deported to Egypt before their transfer to other countries. The role of Egypt and Qatar in implementing the ceasefire agreement is highlighted.
US Involvement
Reports suggest that the Pentagon, under the Biden administration, lifted restrictions on supplying Israel with 1-ton bombs, signaling a shift in US policy towards Israel.
Tragic Loss
A 2.5-year-old Palestinian child, Leyla Muhammed Eymen el-Hatib, dies after being critically injured by Israeli forces near Jenin. The ongoing clashes in the region raise concerns over civilian casualties.
