Gaza is facing one of its deadliest wave of airstrikes as Israel and Hamas accuse each other of violating the fragile ceasefire in the Palestinian territory. While all the living hostages were handed over early in the ceasefire, the process of returning the dead has been slower, and the bodies of three hostages still remain in Gaza. The implementation of the second stage of US President Donald Trump's peace plan has yet to be agreed, particularly as it concerns disarming Hamas, establishing a transitional authority and deploying an international stabilisation force.
