A senior Israeli official has refuted claims by former U.S. President Donald Trump that the Gaza war is over, clarifying that Israel is still in the first phase of a ceasefire and hostage release deal. Despite Trump announcing the start of "Phase Two" of the ceasefire after the release of 20 Israeli hostages, Israel insists the conflict will not be considered resolved until all phases, including the disarmament of Hamas, are completed. Trump celebrated the ceasefire progress, but the Israeli official stressed that the war is ongoing and Hamas must be neutralized before any conclusion.
