Fragile Gaza Truce Falters Amid Aid Delays and Hamas Resurgence

          Trucks loaded with humanitarian aid supplies arrive in Gaza through the Kissufim Border Crossing

The fragile ceasefire in Gaza is showing signs of unraveling as Israel delays humanitarian aid deliveries and Hamas reasserts its control on the ground.

Israeli officials confirmed that aid convoys into the enclave have been restricted, with the reopening of the border crossing to Egypt postponed. The move, they said, stems from Hamas’ slow cooperation in handing over the bodies of hostages killed during the conflict.

Meanwhile, Hamas has tightened its grip on Gaza’s streets following partial Israeli troop withdrawals. In a chilling display of authority, fighters executed several men in public, underscoring the group’s determination to maintain dominance despite international pressure.

The developments cast a shadow over U.S. President Donald Trump’s ceasefire plan, which had raised hopes of ending the war and stabilizing the region. Instead, the combination of stalled aid, border closures, and Hamas’ violent resurgence has deepened uncertainty about whether peace efforts can hold.
