The latest round of talks on the second phase of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has made "no progress," and it's unclear whether they would resume on Saturday, a senior Hamas official said.

Hamas will not agree to extend the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire deal as requested by Israel, a senior Hamas official said Sunday. Speaking to Al Jazeera, Mahmoud Mardawi said Hamas would only release the remaining Israeli hostages under the terms of the already agreed-upon phased deal.

The move was apparently part of a bid to force Hamas into accepting a temporary extension of a cease-fire and releasing more hostages.

Palestinians in Jabalya condemned Israel’s decision on March 2 to block relief and other supplies from entering the Gaza Strip until all hostages are released.

Israel has cut off the entry of all food and other goods into Gaza in an echo of the siege it imposed in the earliest days of its war with Hamas
