It comes after Israel said it would stop all goods and supplies into Gaza, a move condemned by humanitarian groups and Hamas, which called it "a war crime and a blatant attack" on a truce that took a year of negotiations before taking hold in January.

Hamas accused Israel of trying to derail the cease-fire agreement hours after its first phase ended. It called the decision to cut off aid “cheap extortion, a war crime and a blatant attack” on the truce, which took hold in January after more than a year of negotiations. Both sides stopped short of saying the cease-fire had ended.

Israel wants to extend the first phase of the deal with Hamas, rather than begin negotiations over the more politically fraught second stage.
