Gaza ceasefire live: Israel says one of the bodies handed over by Hamas is not a hostage amid reports vital aid crossing to reopen

Jen 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @jengallso.bsky.social · 9h

There is an unimaginable amount of rubble, no onsite DNA labs, & obviously there will be 1000s of dead Palestinians under the rubble in an unrecognisable state. This should have been accounted for
But Israeli terrorists continue to use this excuse to deny aid

www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Israel previously said the flow of aid would be cut by half and Rafah crossing would not open as planned due to delay in returning bodies of hostages

Israel to restrict aid into Gaza; Hamas releases bodies of 4 more captives
Israel assault in the illegally occupied west bank continues.
Israel still has at least over 1000 Palestinians detainees in Israeli jails with no charges.

Israel is controlling everything. Nothing from MSM

The war may have ended, but Israel is still controlling everything. They won't let in the aid trucks as agreed, no medication for those injured & in desperate need. There are no plans to start rebuilding Gaza & supporting those survivors

The international community is still sucking Trump

The war has ended, but our life is still on hold. We have no home, and rent is too high. If you can help, even a small part of the $300 monthly rent would mean safety for my family. Thank you so much 🕊️

Absolute scum of scum #IDFTERRORISTARMY

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: Israeli forces just opened fire on Palestinians, killing five, during the ceasefire.

The IDF claims they “crossed a yellow line.” Local reports say they were inspecting bombed homes.

So much for a “pause.”

Jen 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @jengallso.bsky.social · 1d

The amount of illegal activity & crimes committed by Israel is astonishing & under reported by MSM

Since October 7, 2023, more than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed & nearly 10,000 injured across the occupied West Bank by Israeli forces and armed settlers, according to UN figures.

With more than 1,000 settler attacks in the first eight months, 2025 is on track to become the most violent year yet.

Netanyahu is getting ready to resume #GENOCIDE & is building the narrative. He will say, without evidence, they have intelligence to resume strikes.
Israel also employs criminal gangs to operate in Gaza & murdered a Palestinian journalist 2 days ago. This is reported by @aljazeera.com

The 20 point plan which was initially presented has been changed beyond recognition by Netanyahu & Kushner.
No mention of a Palestinian state
It's designed to fail in Israel favour
Hamas have deferred to elements of the plan hoping that other Arab nations will intervene.
