Israel is giving Hamas “several days” to rethink terms for a new Gaza ceasefire, raising the prospect of further pressure tactics or a resumption of war.
A six-week truce expired on Sunday with the sides divided over core conditions to enable an open-ended cessation of hostilities. During the first phase, Israel recovered 33 hostages held by Hamas in return for hundreds of Palestinians prisoners.
