The ceasefire agreements that ended the recent conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon are at risk of collapse, according to a report by the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth.

The report said it took nearly a year to reach the ceasefire in Lebanon and just over a month in Gaza. Now, both agreements have reached a “critical point” at the same time and could fall apart.

The Gaza ceasefire, which began on 10 October 2025, was part of a plan to resolve major issues following the return of living prisoners. Other contentious matters, including the disarming of Hamas, were scheduled to be addressed later. However, ongoing disputes and the failure to return all deceased prisoners have raised questions about Gaza’s future.

The newspaper added that some senior US officials under President Donald Trump reportedly fear that his peace plan for the region, which is meant to formally end fighting between Israel and Hamas, may fail due to difficulties in implementing key parts.

Under the first stage of the plan, 20 living prisoners were returned. Israel currently controls around 53 per cent of Gaza’s territory, including large agricultural areas, Rafah in the south, and parts of Gaza City. Meanwhile, nearly two million Palestinians have been displaced to camps made up of tents and the ruins of cities that remain under Hamas control.

YouTube has quietly erased more than 700 videos and shut down the accounts of three major Palestinian human rights organizations, a report by The Intercept on Tuesday shows, Anadolu reports.

The deleted accounts belonged to Al‑Haq, Al Mezan Center for Human Rights, and Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, all of which posted extensive footage alleging violations of international law by Israel in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

The Intercept says the video content included investigations of Israeli strikes, testimonies from survivors, and documentation of the killing of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh.

The removals took place in early October, shortly after the US government imposed sanctions on the groups for their cooperation with the International Criminal Court (ICC).

YouTube confirmed the account terminations followed a review triggered by US sanctions, citing its obligation to comply with applicable trade and sanctions laws.

Human rights advocates and Palestinian groups said this move is a way to silence Palestinian voices and remove important evidence, pointing out that the organizations were not warned before their channels were deleted and that the removals focused on groups reporting rights abuses instead of extremist content.

South Africa filed a case in December 2023, accusing Israel of genocidal acts in Gaza. Several countries have since joined the proceedings, including Spain, Ireland, Libya, Mexico, Belgium, and Turkiye. The ICJ issued three provisional measures, ordering Israel to prevent genocidal acts and allow humanitarian aid into Gaza.

Israel has killed nearly 69,000 people, mostly women and children, and injured over 170,000 others in attacks in Gaza since October 2023.

A ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was reached on Oct. 10, based on a 20-point peace plan proposed by US President Donald Trump. Israel, however, has violated the truce multiple times.

The Israeli army said Wednesday that it had killed two Palestinians in the central Gaza Strip for allegedly crossing the so-called “yellow line” despite a ceasefire agreement, Anadolu reports.

In a statement, the army claimed that the two men posed a “threat” after they allegedly crossed the “yellow line” in two separate incidents and approached soldiers in central Gaza.

The “yellow line” is the first withdrawal line outlined in the initial phase of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, which took effect on Oct. 10. It separates areas still under Israeli military control in the east from those where Palestinians are permitted to move in the west.

Despite the ceasefire, the Gaza Health Ministry said that more than 240 Palestinians have been killed and over 600 others injured by Israeli army fire since the ceasefire.

Phase one of the ceasefire deal includes the release of Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. The plan also envisages the rebuilding of Gaza and the establishment of a new governing mechanism without Hamas.

Since October 2023, the Israeli genocidal war has killed nearly 69,000 people and injured more than 170,600, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

Israel returned the remains of 15 more Palestinians on Wednesday under a Gaza ceasefire agreement with Hamas, medics said, Anadolu reports.

Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis said in a statement that the bodies were transferred to the facility by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), without giving further details.

The new handover brought the number of Palestinian bodies returned by Israel since the ceasefire took effect on Oct. 10 to 285.

The Gaza Health Ministry had previously said that many of the bodies handed over by Israel showed signs of abuse, including beatings, bound hands, blindfolds, and facial disfigurement, and were returned without names.

Families have been trying to identify the remains of their relatives by physical markings or clothing, as forensic facilities in Gaza remain out of service due to the Israeli blockade and the destruction of laboratories.

Before the ceasefire, Israel held 735 Palestinian bodies in so-called “cemeteries of numbers,” according to the Palestinian National Campaign to Retrieve Martyrs’ Bodies.

According to the Israeli daily Haaretz, the Israeli army has been holding about 1,500 bodies of Palestinians from Gaza at the notorious Sde Teiman military base in southern Israel.

Phase one of the ceasefire deal includes the exchange of prisoners and bodies between Israel and Hamas. The plan also envisages the rebuilding of Gaza and the establishment of a new governing mechanism without Hamas.

Since October 2023, the Israeli genocidal war has killed nearly 69,000 people and injured more than 170,600, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

A spokesperson for the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office confirmed on Monday evening that Benjamin Netanyahu supports imposing the death penalty on Palestinian prisoners following what she described as a “fair trial”.

The statement was reported by foreign media outlets and cited by Israeli sources.

This announcement came after the Knesset’s National Security Committee earlier in the day approved a draft bill requiring the death penalty for anyone convicted of killing an Israeli on nationalistic or hostile grounds. The bill is expected to be brought for its first reading in the Knesset on Wednesday.

According to Israel’s Channel 12, Netanyahu has given the green light for the legislation to proceed. Far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who is sponsoring the bill, said that “the time has come to achieve justice,” stressing that the death penalty must be mandatory and that courts should have no discretion in such cases.

The Hamas movement condemned the committee’s approval of the bill, calling it a serious escalation and a blatant violation of international laws and conventions.

In a statement, Hamas said the committee’s endorsement and the move to bring the bill to a Knesset vote “reflect Israel’s true face” and demonstrate its continued disregard for international humanitarian law and the Third Geneva Convention, which governs the treatment of prisoners of war.
