Israel kills at least five Palestinians in Gaza and announces it will not abide by the humanitarian terms of the ceasefire agreement. Aid is entering Gaza at an insufficient pace, with authorities warning it represents “a drop in the ocean” of Gaza’s needs. The United Nations Development Program says that $70 billion will be required to rebuild Gaza. President Donald Trump continues his “victory tour” of the Levant, taking credit for the ceasefire in speeches at the Knesset and at the Sharm el-Sheikh summit in Egypt, where he signed the deal presided over by the heads of state of Egypt, Turkey, Qatar, and Indonesia, while the leadership of the Palestinian resistance did not attend. A live microphone records Trump agreeing to arrange a meeting between his son and Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, saying “I’ll have Eric call. Should I do that? He’s such a good boy.” The U.S. plans to commit half a billion dollars to anti-drone defense in anticipation of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. ICE continues to harass residents in Chicago and Portland. China threatens retaliatory tariffs after Trump signaled plans to impose “100 percent tariffs” on Chinese goods. Washington reaffirms its readiness to defend its ally in the Philippines if hostilities in the South China Sea escalate further. Floods ravage Mexico’s east coast. Madagascar’s president flees the country amid ongoing “Gen Z” protests.

“I think that there is clearly a risk that that will take much more time.” Cardon added that it could take days or weeks and that there was a possibility they were never found.

Because of the massive bombing by Israel?

Was this not known in negotiations? I can guess but I'd prefer to ask.

It was, and it was made clear to all parties. It was highlighted by the Resistance and by Trump, both during and after negotiations. All parties have publicly acknowledged this multiple times, this is just the "Israelis" inventing a pretext.

I guessed so, but I was trying not to jump to conclusions. 😔

Thanks for your reply.
