The most recent development in the ongoing Gaza ceasefire situation involves Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's call for the removal of Israeli-imposed 'obstacles' to the implementation of the ceasefire's second phase. Speaking at the African Union summit in Addis Ababa, Abbas, through his Prime Minister Mohammed Mustafa, emphasized the need to lift these barriers to ensure the continuity of services and coordinate humanitarian efforts in Gaza. He accused Israel of 'continuing to violate' the ceasefire agreement, which has resulted in over 500 Palestinian deaths since its October implementation, according to Dawn and Business Recorder. Abbas highlighted that these violations threaten the truce's durability and the full implementation of its second phase, which includes Israeli withdrawal and Hamas disarmament, as noted by The Frontier Post and France24.
