00:00Hamas is calling for greater international pressure on Israel
00:03before it moves to the next phase of the Gaza ceasefire.
00:07Senior Hamas official Hussam Badran says the plan cannot advance
00:11while Israel continues to violate the agreement and evade its commitments,
00:17urging Israel to open key border crossings,
00:20halt deadly strikes and allow more aid into the war-devastated strip.
00:25The demands come as Israel signals it is ready to enter the next stage
00:31of the U.S.-back-20-point peace plan.
00:34Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to meet U.S. President Donald Trump
00:38on Dec. 29 to discuss the plan's next steps,
00:42insisting for guarantees of Hamas disarmament.
00:45The ceasefire, in effect since October 10,
00:47has so far focused on a hostage prisoner exchange
00:50and a partial withdrawal of Israeli forces.
00:53But key issues, including Gaza's future governance,
00:57the potential deployment of an international stabilisation force
01:00and the creation of a board of peace, remain unresolved.
01:04Now in its second month, the truce remains fragile,
01:07with both side-strating accusations of violations
01:09and Israeli strikes persisting.
01:12Meanwhile, Gaza's humanitarian crisis deepens,
01:14with the United Nations and aid groups warning
01:17that far too little aid is entering the enclave.
01:19Thus, the U.S. President Donald Trump
