As Israel continues its relentless bombardment and siege of Gaza, where hunger and dehydration have reached deadly levels, Hamas has accused Israel of "thwarting" efforts to reach a ceasefire deal. A Hamas delegation in Cairo said that Israel has insisted on rejecting elements of a deal for a phased process that would culminate in an end to Israel's assault on Gaza, as well as ensuring the entry of aid and facilitating the return of displaced Palestinians back to their homes in Gaza. Meanwhile, the Biden administration is pushing Hamas to accept the terms on the table, claiming that a "rational" offer had been made for a six-week truce in exchange for the release of Israeli hostages. The White House statements seem to be "a very politically calculated move so that they can essentially point the blame at Hamas if this fails," says Tahani Mustafa, senior Palestine analyst at the International Crisis Group. Mustafa also provides updates on UNRWA's collapsing operations, repression in the West Bank and the utility of international law for Palestine today.
