Israel and Hamas blame one another for latest ceasefire violations
Hamas and Israel are blaming each other for the latest violation of the current ceasefire agreement in Gaza. Gazan authorities say Israeli airstrikes on multiple locations on Saturday killed at least 20 people and wounded more than 80 others.
The US-brokered Gaza cease-fire is teetering on the brink of collapse, with Hamas threatening to walk away from the deal — as the terror group traded barbs with Israel Saturday over who was first to violate the fragile truce.
The talks covered “developments of the ceasefire agreement, the general situation in Gaza, and the nature of the second phase of the agreement,” Hamas says in a statement.
Violence has repeatedly flared up in the weeks since a cease-fire was reached, killing hundreds of Palestinians and at least three Israeli soldiers.
Hamas warned U. S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff that it could end the Gaza ceasefire after Israeli forces killed multiple terrorists attempting to breach security lines, according to a Saturday report from Saudi state-owned Al Arabiya.
An Israeli airstrike on a car in Gaza City killed at least four people and wounded several others, local health authorities said on Saturday, in a further test of a fragile ceasefire between Palestinian militant group Hamas and Israel.
