The vast majority of people in Israel, especially the families and supporters of the hostages, want the ceasefire deal to continue because they've seen regular releases of hostages. Now, of course, that would take Hamas to change its position.

Hamas yesterday said that they were suspending the release of hostages at the weekend because of what they said were Israeli breaches of the ceasefire agreement. If Hamas now changed their position and published the list of three, as they would have done anyway, I think it's going to be very difficult for Mr Netanyahu to insist that everybody should be released.

The big challenge at the minute is how do we move from ceasefire part one, which is only two weeks before it finishes, to ceasefire part two, which would involve the release of more hostages and a longer-term agreement to formally end the war. Those talks haven't started yet, and that's going to take some effort.

So the Israelis, the Hamas delegates, the Qataris, the Egyptians and the Americans are going to have to get round a table. Otherwise, there will be no stage two. And if there is no stage two, then the likelihood of a resumption of the war is more possible.

There's undoubtedly a lot more aid getting through to Gaza because of the ceasefire. People are able to travel much more freely because of the ceasefire. The border between Egypt and Gaza has reopened partially because of the ceasefire. But what Hamas is saying, temporary covered accommodation, things like tents, aren't being delivered in the numbers that have been promised.

That is a debatable point, and that's something that may have to be resolved in the next couple of days. We're a Davis.

It sort of came out of the blue, this, because thus far the ceasefire has been working pretty well. As you were saying, 21 hostages released in exchange for about 500 Palestinian prisoners, much more aid getting into Gaza, the reopening of the border between Egypt and Gaza. But there are tensions.

We're near the end of the first phase of the ceasefire now, and it's a fragile ceasefire because there are pressures on both sides. And Hamas has now said it will not, as things stand now, proceed with the release of three or four hostages as was expected at the weekend.

Now they're blaming Israel, saying Israel isn't keeping to its side of the bargain vis-a-vis the aid getting into Gaza and also it's accused Israel of firing against individuals and targets in Gaza during the ceasefire. There have been breaches of ceasefire but it has generally held. Now Israel is angry by this decision from Hamas.

It said Hamas has clearly backed down from what it was meant to do under the deal And the Israeli military, the IDF, is now on standby and ready for what may come, which, of course, may be a resumption of the war if the ceasefire does collapse.
