Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty condemned Israel's blockade of humanitarian aid as collective punishment and a violation of international humanitarian law.Aid trucks bound for Gaza were turned back to Egypt after Israel halted deliveries, escalating tensions over the fragile ceasefire. Israel threatened "additional consequences" if Hamas rejected a truce extension, while Egypt accused Israel of using starvation as a weapon. The initial ceasefire phase had seen increased aid deliveries. However, negotiations for the second phase, aimed at hostage release, Israeli withdrawal, and a permanent ceasefire, have stalled. Hamas condemned Israel's aid cutoff as a war crime. The Red Cross warned that ending the truce would push Gaza back into crisis, while UN and MSF officials called Israel's decision "alarming" and "unacceptable." Israel is prepared to resume fighting if talks fail, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated, citing alignment with the Trump administration. Meanwhile, Gaza residents reported food prices doubling under the blockade, raising fears of a renewed humanitarian crisis.
