Hamas has reiterated its commitment to the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire deal during a meeting with Egypt’s intelligence chief in Cairo, despite accusations of violations from both sides that threaten to undermine the truce.

• Hamas called for clear mechanisms from mediators to report breaches and prevent escalating tensions.
• The talks also addressed the resolution of Hamas fighters in Rafah tunnels and the "nature of the second phase of the agreement."
• The United Nations reiterated calls to uphold the ceasefire after reports of ongoing casualties; UNICEF reported at least 67 children killed in "conflict-related incidents" since the ceasefire began.
