On Saturday, patrols of critical humanitarian supplies were permitted to enter Gaza, extending the shaky ceasefire between Israel and the Hamas organization.

Humanitarian supplies from Morocco were delivered to the Palestinian National Authority in Ramallah after traveling through Jordan.

A Jordanian mobile field hospital was one of the supplies that reached the southern Gaza Strip after traveling through the Kerem Shalom crossing, the major entry point for commodities from Israel into the enclave.

The UN has declared that it has contributed more than $4.5 million (€3.7 million) to the mounting humanitarian needs in Gaza. That's in addition to the $14 million (€11.5 million) in relief released earlier this week.

The cease-fire between Israel and Hamas went into effect at 2:00 a.m. local time on Friday and has mostly been held despite new confrontations between Palestinian demonstrators and Israeli police following Friday prayers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque site.

Nobody knows what started the rioting. Protesters were hit with stun grenades and tear gas by police, while Palestinians threw rocks and at least one firebomb against cops.

Palestinians also battled with Israeli soldiers in portions of the conquered West Bank which has experienced recent unrest due to the displacement of Palestinians from East Jerusalem.

The previous day, hundreds of Palestinians marched through Gaza streets as the truce came into force following 11 days of the war. The most recent battle killed nearly 200 people, a large number of those were Palestinians and damaged wide portions of the already poor Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.

As per Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office, his Security Cabinet unanimously accepted the Egypt-mediated plan on Thursday.

Hamas swiftly followed suit, stating that it will uphold the agreement. "Taher Nounou, a Hamas official, stated, "The Palestinian opposition will devote itself to this agreement as long as the occupation is committed."

As per senior Israeli defense officials, adopting the plan is the best option "The mission had "excellent successes," as per their report. On Twitter, Defense Minister Benny Gantz said that "the reality on the ground will ascertain the continuance of operations."

Thousands assembled outside the family home of Mohammed Deif, the Hamas leader who authorized the rocket strikes, in the southern Gaza Strip town of Khan Younis. Fans chanted "victory" and waved green Hamas flags.

In Israel, the atmosphere was more solemn, with Netanyahu facing charges from his right-wing constituency that he had ended the battle too fast.

The decision was made in response to worldwide pressure to halt the attack. Even after the declaration, air-raid alarms in southern Israel rang, signaling approaching missile fire.

The ceasefire arrived after a week of international pressure for the fighting — the biggest wave of bloodshed among Israel and Palestinians since the 2014 conflict — to be put to an end as soon as possible.

US Vice President Joe Biden said on Thursday that the ceasefire presented a "real chance" to work toward the bigger aim of establishing long-term peace in the Middle East.

"I feel that Palestinians and Israelis both deserve to live in security and protection, and equal proportions of freedom, wealth, and democracy," he continued.

Secretary of State Anthony Blinken will go to the area "in the coming days" to interact with Israeli, Palestinian, and regional officials, according to his spokesman, Ned Price.

The ceasefire was also praised by European Council President Charles Michel, who stated that this "chance for peace and security for civilians" should be taken advantage of, and also by the UK’s foreign minister, Dominic Raab.

"All parties should work together to make the ceasefire permanent and stop the horrible cycle of violence and innocent lives," Raab said on Twitter.

After the cease-fire declaration, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told reporters, "Israeli and Palestinian authorities have a duty far beyond the restoration of calm and to begin an engagement to address the root cause of the conflict."
