Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office announced on Sunday the suspension of "all goods and supplies" entry into the Gaza Strip, citing Hamas' rejection of a proposal by U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Yitkoff to continue negotiations.

A statement from Netanyahu's office read, "With the conclusion of the first phase of the hostage deal, and in light of Hamas' refusal to accept Yitkoff's proposal to continue talks—which Israel agreed to—Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided that starting this morning (Sunday), all goods and supplies will cease entering the Gaza Strip.

The statement added, "Israel will not allow a ceasefire without the release of our hostages. If Hamas continues its refusal, there will be further consequences.

According to a reporter from "Al-Oula" in Gaza, the Israeli army closed the Kerem Shalom crossing on Sunday and turned back all aid trucks following the Israeli government's decision to shut all crossings into the Palestinian territory.

Hamas, on its part, described Netanyahu's decision to halt aid entry into Gaza as a "breach of the ceasefire.

Israel had previously announced its adoption of Yitkoff's proposal for a temporary ceasefire in Gaza during Ramadan, which is set to end in late March, and the Jewish Passover, celebrated in mid-April.

This announcement came just hours after the conclusion of the first phase of a previously agreed ceasefire deal.

However, on Sunday, Hamas demanded the implementation of the second phase of the ceasefire agreement with Israel, which came into effect on January 19.

The Palestinian movement, classified as a terrorist organization in the United States and other countries, claimed that Israel's agreement to the Ramadan and Passover truce proposal was "clear evidence that the occupation is reneging on the agreements it signed."
