The outlook for a Gaza ceasefire has significantly darkened as Israel restricted aid into Gaza and Hamas reasserted its control, including executing men in the street. This comes amidst delays in the return of deceased hostages, complicating U.S. President Donald Trump's peace plan.

• Israel will only permit 300 aid trucks daily into Gaza, half the agreed number, and no fuel or gas, as confirmed by the U.N.
• Hamas fighters publicly executed seven men in a Gaza City square, with a Hamas source confirming their involvement.
• Hamas has only returned four coffins of dead hostages, with at least 23 presumed dead and one unaccounted for, despite President Trump's emphasis on their return.
