UAE President and US President discussed in a phone call efforts for reaching a ceasefire in Gaza.
This followed a protest dubbed “Intifada of the North,” which took place in Beit Lahiya, and saw hundreds of participants, shouting “Hamas out!”

Hamas has claimed that Israel broke the ceasefire, but it is Hamas that sought to stall since March 1, when the first phase ended.
The air force attacks are designed to degrade Hamas's renewed military capabilities after it was leaked that the terror group has returned to a force of 25,000.
Military sources stated that Hamas leadership in Gaza remains in hiding, “and therefore believes it is immune, prolonging the situation.”
Adam Boehler, Trump's special envoy for US hostages and missing persons, held direct negotiations with Hamas to secure the release of American hostages, including soldier Edan Alexander.
The ceasefire lasted nearly 50 days before collapsing, yet the killing did not end, and none of the disasters that have devastated Gaza were addressed.
