"More than a week has passed since the start of the US-proposed truce aimed at ending two years of war. US President Donald Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday that Hamas has been "quite rambunctious" and "they've been doing some shooting". He also suggested that the violence might be the fault of "rebels" within the organisation rather than its leadership."
"Since the ceasefire started, Hamas security forces have returned to the streets in Gaza, clashing with armed groups and killing alleged gangsters in what the militant group says is an attempt to restore law and order in areas where Israeli troops have withdrawn. On Sunday, Israel's military said militants had fired at troops in areas of Rafah city that are Israeli-controlled according to agreed-upon ceasefire lines."
More than a week has passed since the US-proposed truce aimed at ending two years of war. Israeli forces threatened to halt aid transfers after saying Hamas militants had killed two soldiers, then resumed enforcing the ceasefire and approved aid deliveries to resume on Monday, though the flow remained unclear by early afternoon. Two US envoys landed in Tel Aviv. US President Donald Trump said Hamas had been "quite rambunctious" and accused possible "rebels" within the group of recent shootings. Since the ceasefire, Hamas security forces have clashed with armed groups in Gaza while accusing Israel of multiple violations. The next stages focus on disarming Hamas, further Israeli withdrawal, and establishing an internationally backed governing authority.
