A US official tells Al Jazeera the ceasefire is still holding despite Israeli threats to attack Gaza after alleging ceasefire violations. President Trump’s peace plan faces many challenges, but the administration believes it will still come to fruition, the official says. “The ceasefire agreement is still holding in Gaza, and we continue to work to implement President Trump’s peace plan,” said the US official on condition of anonymity. “Transition to permanent peace in Gaza is a difficult task after two years of conflict in the Strip.” One of Israel’s main complaints is the amount of time it is taking for Hamas to return the bodies of captives taken to Gaza. “Locating the bodies of Israeli hostages in Gaza is difficult, challenging, and time-consuming. The Civilian-Military Coordination Center played a vital role in bringing Egyptian technical teams into Gaza to retrieve the bodies,” the official said. “The peace plan for Gaza will face challenges, and the US government is making strenuous efforts to make progress. We will not be satisfied until stability is achieved in Gaza and a transition to civilian rule is achieved and tangible progress is made toward peace.” Al Jazeera’s Kimberly Halket joins us from the Washington, DC and Nida Ibrahim joins us here in the Studio to discuss the latest developments.
