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.

It is possible. It's only Monday night here in the Middle East. The handover isn't due to happen until Saturday. So they've got four or five days to work on this, which I think is crucial. And there are international mediators who will push both sides to try and resume the ceasefire.

But there are also elements on the Israeli side, particularly far-right elements within the government, who take this as a sign that the war has to restart.

They've been pushing at Mr Netanyahu, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister for some time to stop anyway after the first phase of the ceasefire and to resume the war because their argument is that Hamas is not yet militarily defeated and they want the war to resume. So this gives more momentum to that kind of view, if you like. So it is a very, very dangerous moment.

Why Hamas have done this is difficult to say. Perhaps it's their way of getting back at Donald Trump, you know, for his actions. Pretty outrageous comments, they would say, over Gaza and how Mr. Trump sees Gaza developing in future. And maybe this is Hamas's response to that.
