Gaza: the ceasefire holds but is 'far from perfect' (high representative for Gaza)

The ceasefire in Gaza, established in October under U.S. pressure, is holding but faces numerous daily violations, according to Nikolaï Mladenov, the high representative for Gaza. Despite the truce, tensions between Israel and Hamas remain high, with over 850 Palestinians killed since the ceasefire began, while the Israeli army has reported five soldiers lost. The ceasefire also facilitated the release of the last hostages from October 7 in exchange for Palestinians held by Israel.
