While the ceasefire halted the heavy fighting of the two-year war, Gaza health officials say that over 360 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since the truce took effect in October

Qatar’s prime minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani on Saturday said the Gaza ceasefire has reached a “critical moment” as its first phase, which took effect on October 10, winds down.
“What we have just done is a pause,” he told the Doha Forum, an international conference in the Qatari capital. “We cannot consider it a ceasefire yet. A ceasefire cannot be completed unless there is a full withdrawal of Israeli forces, there is stability back in Gaza, people can go in and out, which is not the case today,” he said.
