Hamas remains open to negotiations for a Gaza truce, while calling for pressure on Israel to implement the ceasefire. Israel has carried out fresh air strikes on Gaza, resulting in a high civilian death toll and condemnation from the United Nations and countries around the world. Negotiations have stalled over how to proceed with the ceasefire, with Israel and Hamas disagreeing on whether to move to a new phase. Israel and the United States have sought to change the terms of the deal, which was swiftly rejected by Hamas. The intense Israeli bombardment has triggered fears of a return to full-blown war after two months of relative calm.
