🎧 Israel blocks humanitarian aid into Gaza as ceasefire standoff continues
💬 Tensions continue to escalate in the Middle East after Israel blocked humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip on Sunday.
In a statement, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the decision followed Hamas's refusal to extend the phase one ceasefire, which expired on Saturday.
It also warned of further consequences if Hamas continues to reject an extension to the proposal.
The U.S.-backed proposal aims to prolong the truce for six more weeks, covering the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and the Jewish Passover holiday, ending on April 20th.
Hamas, which previously said it would not agree to an extension without guarantees of phase two, called Israel's halt of aid "cheap blackmail."
