Israel to Reduce Aid to Gaza Amid Slow Return of Deceased Hostages
The ceasefire in the two-year Israel-Hamas war is being tested due to complex issues.
In response to the slower-than-hoped return of deceased hostages from Gaza, an Israeli military agency declared a "violation" of the truce agreement.
As a result, Israel plans to halve the number of trucks allowed to bring humanitarian aid into the devastated territory.
- The cut in aid was transmitted to U.S. officials and international aid groups.
- The Israeli government did not immediately comment on the matter.
The fragile ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war was tested Tuesday.
A day earlier, Israelis celebrated the return of the last 20 living hostages in Gaza and Palestinians rejoiced at Israel’s release of some 2,000 prisoners and detainees as part of the ceasefire’s first phase.
