Gaza GMO slams Israeli dishonour of ceasefire agreement, guarantor weakness

⭕ Press Statement No. (1047) Issued by the Government Media Office

⛔ 115 Days Since the Ceasefire Decision: The Israeli Occupation Has Violated the Agreement 1,520 Times, Resulting in 556 Martyrs and 1,500 Injured

We affirm that the Israeli occupation has continued, since the ceasefire decision entered into force on October 10, 2025, until today, Wednesday, February 4, 2026 (a period of 115 days), to commit grave and systematic violations of the agreement, constituting a blatant breach of international humanitarian law and a deliberate undermining of the essence of the ceasefire and the provisions of the attached humanitarian protocol.

During the aforementioned period, the competent governmental authorities documented 1,520 violations of the agreement, detailed in the following statistical report:

📣 First: Violations of the Ceasefire Agreement:
1,520 violations committed by the occupation.

◻️ 704 bombardments and targeted attacks.
◻️ 221 demolitions of homes and various buildings.

📣 Second: Human Losses:
These violations resulted in the following:

(1) Martyrs:
🔹 556 martyrs (total).
◻️ 288 martyrs were children, women, and elderly.
◻️ 268 martyrs were men.
◻️ 99% of the martyrs were civilians.

(2) Injured:
🔹 1,500 injured (total).
◻️ More than 900 of the injured were children, women, and elderly.
◻️ 1,488 of the injured were civilians, representing 99.2% of the total injured.
◻️ All injured, without exception, were targeted away from the “yellow line,” inside residential neighborhoods.

(3) Detainees:
🔹 50 detainees.
◻️ All detainees, without exception, were arrested away from the “yellow line,” from inside residential neighborhoods.

📣 Third: Aid, Commercial, and Fuel Trucks:
🔹 29,603 is the total number of aid, commercial, and fuel trucks, out of 69,000 trucks that were supposed to enter, reflecting a compliance rate of (43%), distributed as follows:
◻️ 17,153 aid trucks (58%).
◻️ 11,642 commercial trucks (39%).
◻️ 808 fuel trucks (2.7%), out of 5,750 fuel trucks that were supposed to enter, reflecting a compliance rate of (14%).
◻️ Daily average: 257 trucks.

📣 Important Notes:
** 600 aid, commercial, and fuel trucks are supposed to enter the Gaza Strip daily.
** 50 fuel trucks (diesel, gasoline, cooking gas) are supposed to enter the Gaza Strip daily.
According to the humanitarian protocol, and in addition to the above, the occupation has failed to comply with the following:

  1. It has not complied with the required numbers of different trucks.
  2. It has not complied with the withdrawal lines.
  3. It has not complied with the entry of materials necessary for infrastructure maintenance.
  4. It has not complied with the entry of heavy equipment for Civil Defense to remove rubble and recover the bodies of the honored martyrs.
  5. It has not complied with the entry of medical equipment, health supplies, and medicines.
  6. It has not complied with opening the Rafah Crossing as agreed.
  7. It has not complied with respecting the issues of martyrs, wounded, detainees, and the missing.
  8. It has not complied with the entry of tents, mobile homes, and shelter materials.
  9. It has not complied with operating the power generation plant.
  10. It has not complied with the boundaries of the “yellow line,” but rather has seized additional kilometers across the Strip.

We affirm that the continuation of these violations, escalation, and abuses constitutes a grave circumvention of the ceasefire agreement and an attempt to impose a humanitarian equation based on subjugation, starvation, and blackmail. We hold the Israeli occupation fully responsible for the ongoing deterioration of the humanitarian situation and for the lives lost and properties destroyed during a period in which a complete and sustainable ceasefire should have prevailed.

We call upon President Trump, the sponsoring parties of the agreement, the mediators and guarantors, the international community, and the United Nations to assume their legal and moral responsibilities, compel the Israeli occupation to fully implement its obligations without any reduction, ensure the protection of civilians, secure the immediate and safe flow of humanitarian aid and fuel, and facilitate the entry of mobile homes, caravans, and shelter materials, in accordance with the agreement, in order to address the escalating humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip.

Hamas on UNRWA

Press Statement

We appreciate the statement by nine European countries, Canada, and Japan condemning the occupation’s arbitrary measures against the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), the demolition of its headquarters in Jerusalem, and their call to ensure the continuation of its work to deliver humanitarian aid to our Palestinian people in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

We call on these countries to translate their stance into practical and pressure steps on the occupation, ensuring the resumption of UNRWA’s relief work for our Palestinian people, who live through a deep humanitarian catastrophe created by the Zionist occupation and its fascist government led by war criminal Netanyahu, wanted by the International Criminal Court.

We also call on the rest of the countries worldwide to take similar stances to condemn the occupation’s policies, pressure it to stop its measures against UNRWA, and enable it [UNRWA] to perform its humanitarian tasks in accordance with its UN mandate, without restrictions or blackmail.

Hamas demands return of Palestinian bodies

Press Statement

The Zionist occupation authorities continue to withhold hundreds of bodies of Palestinian martyrs – whether those they seized from the Gaza Strip during the genocidal war or those that have been held for decades in “cemeteries of numbers” – and refuse to hand them over to their families or provide information about them, representing a brutal crime and a flagrant violation of human values, amid a suspicious international silence on ending this humanitarian issue.

At the same time, the suffering of our Palestinian people in Gaza continues, as well as the suffering of families of nearly 10,000 martyrs whose bodies remain under the rubble of destroyed buildings, due to the genocide committed by the occupation over two years and the severe shortage of capabilities and heavy equipment, which the occupation continues to prevent from entering to date.

The high international attention for the bodies of dozens of Zionist soldiers, in contrast to the disregard for the tragedy of thousands of Palestinian families whose loved ones’ bodies have been forcibly hidden, represents a moral defect and a serious deviation in the standards of fairness and justice, necessitating an immediate review and true international pressure on the occupation to hand over the detained martyrs’ bodies, open the Rafah crossing, and allow entry of heavy equipment needed to retrieve the bodies of martyrs from under the rubble and bury them in a manner that preserves human dignity.

We reiterate our demand for the quick enabling of the national committee to assume its full responsibilities in Gaza, including the opening of Rafah crossing in both directions, the immediate start of reconstruction and a comprehensive operation to retrieve the bodies of martyrs, as well as to address the file of the missing persons whom the occupation continues to forcibly disappear.

Gaza Civil Defense calls for international action

⭕Civil Defense spokesperson Mahmoud Basal:

▪️ Act before we lose more lives.

▪️The Gaza Strip is experiencing an unprecedented catastrophe in all aspects of life, starting with the lack of shelter, streets and areas that could be bombed at any moment, and hospitals that are on the verge of collapse.

▪️What Gaza is enduring requires international intervention and humanitarian action by organizations to save the wounded, the sick, children, and the displaced.

Can Trump enforce his own deal- Israeli withdrawal from Gaza Strip, aid entry, Rafah crossing open in both directions

🟢 Hamas Leader Hussam Badran:

We have fulfilled all our obligations in the ceasefire agreement by handing over all living prisoners and bodies.

Finding the body of the last “israeli” captive in Gaza eliminates all of Netanyahu’s pretexts for obstructing the agreement.

We demand that the mediators and guarantors exert more effort to compel the occupation to adhere to the terms of the Gaza agreement.

The mediators must compel Netanyahu to withdraw from the Gaza Strip, allow aid in, and open the Rafah crossing in both directions.

Gaza Civil Defense calls for immediate opening of Rafah border, entry of equipment to recover bodies

After the resolution of the issue of the Israeli bodies, which the occupation used as a pretext to block the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, I today issue an urgent appeal to the international community, all human rights organizations, and the consciences of the world, to inform them that the situation in Gaza has reached a critical and unprecedented stage, with the absence of the most basic living conditions. This requires immediate action and global responsibility.

Thousands of bodies lie under the rubble, including children, women, and people with special needs, which have not been retrieved since the beginning of the war due to the lack of heavy equipment. Additionally, thousands of civilians, including children, women, and the sick, continue to suffer from the effects of the war, enduring hardships beyond human capacity. The continuation of this situation means further humanitarian losses and unbearable suffering that cannot be accepted.

Therefore, we call on the relevant international authorities, human rights organizations, and mediators to act immediately to fully open the Rafah crossing, allow the entry of heavy machinery to remove rubble and recover bodies, enable the delivery of humanitarian and medical aid, and begin the reconstruction process without any delay.

Hamas fully honoured ceasefire agreement, calls on guarantors to ensure Israeli compliance with Phase 1

Statement issued by Hamas:

The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) affirms that the Resistance, acting from its national responsibility and its commitment to what was agreed upon, exerted significant efforts in the file of searching for the body of the last captive, and continuously provided mediators with the necessary information, which contributed to locating the body.

The Movement stresses that this step comes within the context of the Resistance’s full commitment to the requirements of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement, having fulfilled all its obligations clearly and responsibly.

In return, the Movement emphasizes that the occupation must complete the full implementation of the ceasefire agreement without reduction or delay, adhere to all obligations incumbent upon it—especially opening the Rafah crossing in both directions without restrictions, allowing the entry of the Strip’s needs in the required quantities, lifting any bans on them, completing a full withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, and facilitating the work of the national committee for administering the Strip.

The Movement also calls on the guarantor states to assume their responsibilities by ensuring the implementation of all obligations obstructed by the occupation, following the collapse of its pretext after the discovery of the body of the last captive.

Honour Phase 1 first, says Hamas

🟢 Hamas Spokesperson Hazem Qassem:

We demand the U.S. administration to oblige the occupation to fulfill the requirements of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement and move toward the second phase.

Witkoff’s announcement regarding the launch of the second phase of Trump’s plan is an important positive development.

We are fully ready to hand over the administration of the Gaza Strip to an independent technocratic committee and facilitate its work.

Hamas is ready to engage in internal Palestinian approaches regarding the discussion of the issue of the resistance’s weapons.

The movement’s priority now is to begin a genuine relief operation to save the cities in the Gaza Strip.
