Israel suspends entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza – POLITICO

Israel announced Sunday it was halting the delivery of all humanitarian supplies into Gaza as the first phase of the cease-fire in the Palestinian territory expires.

The Israeli government has threatened “further consequences” if the Hamas militant group refuses the cease-fire extension proposed by the U.S.

A Hamas spokesman has slammed Israel’s move as “cheap blackmail” and “a blatant coup” against the truce agreement, according to media reports.
