Israel-Hamas Ceasefire Begins Amid Diplomatic Tensions and Detentions

A four-day ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict began, leading to the release of 24 hostages and 39 Palestinian prisoners.
Israel's foreign minister summoned the ambassadors of Spain and Belgium over comments about the Israeli offensive in Gaza.
The World Health Organization expressed concern over the detention of the head of Gaza City's Al-Shifa hospital by Israeli forces.

The Israeli foreign minister has summoned the ambassadors of Spain and Belgium for a 'harsh rebuke' over comments made by the two countries' leaders regarding the Israeli offensive in Gaza. Both Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez have denounced the destruction in the Gaza Strip and called for a permanent ceasefire. Foreign Minister Eli Cohen accused the two leaders of supporting 'terrorism'.

In the midst of these diplomatic tensions, a four-day ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict began on Friday in Gaza. This agreement, brokered with the help of Qatar, led to the release of 24 hostages, including 13 Israeli citizens, 10 Thai citizens, and one Filipino citizen. Israel also released 39 Palestinian prisoners later in the day. The truce deal includes increased shipments of fuel and supplies into Gaza.

However, concerns have been raised by the World Health Organization (WHO) over the detention of the head of Gaza City's Al-Shifa hospital, Mohammad Abu Salmiya, by Israeli forces. The hospital director and five other health workers were arrested while participating in a UN mission to evacuate patients. The Israeli army has claimed that Hamas fighters used a tunnel complex beneath the hospital to stage attacks, a claim that has been denied by Hamas and hospital officials.
