Israel has decided to cut off electricity supply to Gaza, which will primarily affect the operation of desalination plants. The government has not ruled out cutting off water supplies as well. Talks to prolong the ceasefire are expected to resume in Qatar. Israel wants Hamas to accept an extension of the first phase of the ceasefire, while Hamas wants to start negotiations on the second phase. Gaza's infrastructure has been devastated by the war, and generators and solar panels are used for some of the power supply. Israel has faced criticism for cutting off supplies to Gaza.
