In a statement, Hamas urged mediators and the international community to take action, pressuring the Israeli occupation to halt its punitive and unethical measures against more than two million people in the Gaza Strip.

The movement emphasized that claims made by the occupation regarding Hamas' violation of the ceasefire agreement are "misleading allegations without basis, an unsuccessful attempt to cover up Israel's daily and systematic violations of the agreement," which have led to the deaths of over a hundred martyrs in Gaza. Additionally, it has disrupted humanitarian protocols, prevented the entry of shelter and relief supplies, and deepened the humanitarian disaster in Gaza.

Hamas reiterated its commitment to implementing the signed agreement in its three phases, noting that it has repeatedly expressed readiness to start negotiations for the second phase of the agreement.

The movement called on mediators to pressure Israel to fulfill its obligations under the agreement in all its stages, implement humanitarian protocols, and allow the entry of shelter materials and rescue equipment into Gaza.

On Sunday, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that he decided to halt all humanitarian aid to Gaza following the completion of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel.

Israeli authorities had closed the crossings to Gaza the previous night and stopped the entry of aid.

Netanyahu stated that all goods and supplies would be stopped from entering Gaza starting Sunday morning, adding that Israel would not allow the ceasefire to continue without the release of detainees.
