President Donald Trump says Hamas is reluctant to release the remaining hostages amid Israel's increase in humanitarian aid efforts in Gaza on Sunday.

Israel's concession to aid come as it faces growing international pressure to alleviate mass starvation in Gaza.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday Israel would have to make a decision on next steps in Gaza, adding that he did not know what would happen after the collapse of ceasefire and hostage-release negotiations with the Hamas militant group.

Netanyahu, speaking from the Israel Air Force's Ramon Air Base claimed that the UN is "creating an excuse and lie about Israel," by saying that Israel is not allowing humanitarian aid to enter Gaza. Israel will "need to continue allowing the entry of minimal humanitarian supplies" into the Gaza Strip,

Israel committed to a daily 10-hour pause in military operations for "humanitarian purposes" after aid agencies warned of spreading starvation in Gaza.

The Israeli military has announced a "tactical pause" in fighting in Muwasi, Deir al-Balah and Gaza City to address a worsening humanitarian situation.

JERUSALEM/GAZA, July 27 (Reuters) - Israel said on Sunday it would halt military operations each day for 10 hours in parts of Gaza and allow new aid corridors in the shattered enclave, where images of starving Palestinians have alarmed the world.

This might be a tacit admission by the Israelis that they need to do more - but more likely the measures are a response to allies.

Dozens of trucks carrying humanitarian aid in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula started to move towards the Kerem Shalom crossing for inspections on Sunday before being allowed into Gaza Strip, according to Egypt’s state-run Al-Qahera News TV.
