As the fragile U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas teeters, both sides are trading blame over violations—from disputed hostage remains to deadly shootings. The Rafah border reopening remains uncertain, and tensions threaten to reignite the conflict. Here’s the breakdown:
Hostage Bodies: A Deal-Breaker?
Israel insists Hamas must return all 28 deceased hostages’ bodies, accusing the group of providing incomplete or incorrect remains. Hamas claims Israel’s blockade on heavy machinery in Gaza—needed to excavate rubble—is slowing progress. 🔍 "We will spare no effort until every last one returns," vowed an Israeli official.
Ceasefire Violations: Who’s to Blame?
Hamas alleges Israel killed 24 Palestinians in post-truce shootings, calling it a breach. Israel says troops fired only at "threats" near ceasefire lines. 🚨 With no independent verification, the truth remains murky.
What’s Next for Gaza?
Beyond immediate disputes, bigger questions loom: Will Hamas disarm? Who will govern Gaza? The Palestinian Authority (PA) plans to collaborate internationally on reconstruction, but funding logistics remain unclear. Meanwhile, Hamas flexes control with public crackdowns, deepening fears of prolonged instability. 🌐
As Trump’s 20-point peace plan faces roadblocks, the world watches to see if this truce can evolve into lasting peace—or collapse into chaos.
