The US State Department had claimed that Hamas is planning an attack against civilians in Gaza “in grave violation of the cease-fire,” and called on the mediating nations to demand that the group uphold its obligations under the peace deal.
The cease-fire deal – part of US President Donald Trump's plan to end the Gaza war – came into force on October 10. The first phase currently under way has seen the release of all living captives in Gaza as well as the return to Israel of 12 out of 28 of those deceased.
Israel has freed 250 Palestinian prisoners in its jails and 1,718 detainees from Gaza, as well as returning 15 bodies of Palestinians in return for every Israeli captive’s remains.
At least 68,000 people have been killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza since October 7, 2023 when Hamas launched a retaliatory operation against the occupied territories.
