cuts off supply to , affecting a plant producing drinking water

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — "Israel cut off the electricity supply to Gaza, officials said Sunday, affecting a desalination plant producing drinking water for part of the arid territory. Hamas called it part of Israel’s '.'

"Israel last week suspended supplies of goods to the territory of more than 2 million , an echo of the siege it imposed in the earliest days of the war.

"Israel is pressing the militant group to accept an extension of the first phase of their ceasefire. That phase ended last weekend. Israel wants to release half of the remaining hostages in return for a promise to negotiate a lasting truce.

"Hamas instead wants to start negotiations on the ceasefire’s more difficult second phase, which would see the release of remaining hostages from Gaza, the withdrawal of Israeli forces and a lasting peace. Hamas is believed to have 24 living hostages and the bodies of 35 others.

"The militant group — which has warned that discontinuing supplies would affect the hostages — said Sunday that it wrapped up the latest round of ceasefire talks with mediators without changes to its position."

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — "Israel faced sharp criticism as it stopped the entry of all food and other supplies into Gaza on Sunday and warned of 'additional consequences' for Hamas if a fragile ceasefire isn’t extended.

"Mediators Egypt and Qatar accused Israel of violating by using as a weapon.

"The ceasefire’s first phase saw a surge in humanitarian aid after months of growing hunger. Hamas accused Israel of trying to derail the next phase Sunday hours after its first phase had ended and called Israel’s decision to cut off aid 'a and a blatant attack' on a truce that took a year of negotiations before taking hold in January.

"In the second phase, Hamas would release dozens of remaining hostages in return for an Israeli pullout from Gaza and a lasting ceasefire. Negotiations on the second phase were meant to start a month ago but haven’t begun."
