Israel's war cabinet has been set to meet on Sunday to discuss the possibility of resuming the genocide in Gaza, public broadcaster KAN reported.
The meeting has been scheduled after Israeli officials concluded that the Palestinian resistance group Hamas was not complying with disarmament terms, a claim attributed to an unnamed official, while contacts with mediators continue.
Hamas has already submitted its response to a mediators' proposal as part of implementing the first phase of the ceasefire reached in October 2025.
According to Anadolu agency, Hamas introduced amendments and demanded that Israel "fully and immediately implement its commitments" under an agreed timeline to end the genocidal war.
The group has expressed a preliminary willingness to discuss weapons but linked it to "securing political rights for Palestinians within a broader security arrangement."
Israeli violation rise
Hamas has reiterated demands for a full ceasefire, a comprehensive Israeli withdrawal, reconstruction, and the transfer of Gaza's administration to a technocratic committee.
Israel had previously given Hamas 60 days from late February to hand over its weapons, while the group insisted that Israel first fulfil its obligations.
The prospect of renewed fighting comes days after a warning by military analyst Amos Harel, who has written in Haaretz about possible government plans to launch a new offensive.
He said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may seek to keep tensions active with general elections approaching in October.
Despite the truce, Israel has failed to implement key commitments, including opening crossings for humanitarian aid, worsening conditions for around 1.9 million displaced people.
Israel has also violated the truce hundreds of times, killing over 800 Palestinians.
The US has announced in mid-January the start of a second phase, which includes transitional governance and further Israeli troop withdrawals.
