02.03.2025Day Aid Gates Closed While Ramadan Dawned
Netanyahu announced the closure of Gaza crossings and halt of humanitarian aid as phase one of the ceasefire ended, marking a shift from previous negotiations. The move followed reports of his earlier rejection of a Saudi peace proposal in favor of Qatari funding to prevent Palestinian statehood.

Four Palestinians were killed in Gaza during morning strikes, while Egypt proposed extending phase one for two weeks with two prisoner exchange batches. By afternoon, the Red Cross warned of humanitarian collapse as Israel approved mobilizing 400,000 reserve soldiers.

Evening brought 75,000 worshippers to Al-Aqsa for Ramadan prayers despite restrictions. Hamas rejected phase one extension without progression to phase two, while Israeli officials discussed additional pressure measures, including water and electricity cuts. Only 15 of 60,000 required mobile homes had entered Gaza during the pause.
