pawel.gaul/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- The cease-fire between Hamas and Israel has ended, according to the Israel Defense Forces, which said early Friday morning that Hamas had broken the cease-fire.

The end of the cease-fire comes after Hamas freed over 100 of the more than 200 people its militants took hostage during the Oct. 7 surprise attack on Israel. In exchange, Israel released more than 200 Palestinians from Israeli prisons.

Kamala Harris meets with Arab leaders to discuss Israel-Gaza at COP28

While in Dubai for the COP28 meetings, Vice President Kamala Harris met with Arab leaders -- United Arab Emirates President Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed, Jordan's King Abdullah, Egypt's President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, and Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani -- to discuss what Gaza will look like once the fighting stops.

"We all want this conflict to end as soon as possible, and to ensure Israel's security, and ensure security for the Palestinian people, we must accelerate efforts to build an enduring peace," Harris said.

In addition to the five principles in President Joe Biden's Washington Post op-ed, the Vice President laid out three new focus points she discussed to ensure the success of long-lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians, which will also require "regional consensus and support" to accomplish.

"One, reconstruction. The international community must dedicate significant resources to support short- and long-term recovery in Gaza," Harris said.

"Second, security. The Palestinian Authority security forces must be strengthened to eventually assume security responsibilities in Gaza. Until then, there must be security arrangements that are acceptable to Israel, the people of Gaza, the Palestinian Authority, and the international partners," Harris said.

"Third, governance. The Palestinian Authority must be revitalized, driven by the will of the Palestinian people, which will allow them to benefit from the rule of law and a transparent responsive government," Harris said.

Harris refused to go into details but remains hopeful for another pause. Harris also said that Israel must limit as many civilian casualties as possible.

"As Israel defends itself, it matters how. The United States is unequivocal; international humanitarian law must be respected. Too many innocent Palestinians have been killed. Frankly, the scale of civilian suffering, and the images and videos coming from Gaza are devastating," Harris said.

Israel plans to put 'security arrangements' along fringes of Gaza Strip

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's advisor, Mark Regev, told reporters at a briefing Saturday that they plan to put in place "security arrangements" along the fringes of the Gaza strip to ensure that Hamas could not threaten Israel again.

"Call it what you want," Regev told ABC News in an interview after the briefing. "Israel will have to have a security envelope."

Regev told reporters that Israel does not plan to take territory from Gaza or occupy the strip, but he spoke about establishing "security zones."

"There will have to be security arrangements on the ground to prevent future attacks," Regev told the briefing.

Israel recalls its negotiation team from Qatar

After reaching an "impasse" in negotiations with Hamas, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered Israel's negotiation team to return from Doha, Qatar, Israeli officials said.

"The terrorist organization Hamas did not fulfil its part of the agreement, which included the release of all children and women according to a list that was forwarded to Hamas and approved by it. The head of the Mossad thanks the head of the CIA, the Egyptian Minister of Intelligence and the Prime Minister of Qatar for their partnership in the tremendous mediation efforts that led to the release of 84 children and women from the Gaza Strip in addition to 24 foreign citizens," according to a statement issued on behalf of Israel's Intelligence and Special Tasks Agency.

Kirby says humanitarian aid will be going back into Gaza

Following the end of the temporary cease-fire, humanitarian aid stopped flowing into Gaza through the Rafah crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby confirmed Friday.

But Kirby added, "I just saw some reporting that looks like a spokesman for the Israelis have now said that the trucks were going to be allowed into Gaza at our [U.S.] request, and certainly with the approval of their government."

"They [Israel] stressed that all the trucks going in, of course, had to be done with this inspection regime in Israel before entering Gaza," he said. "That looks like a good sign going forward."

The Palestine Red Crescent Society said earlier Friday that Israel was not letting aid pass through Rafah to Gaza.

"Israeli occupation forces informed all organizations and entities operating at the Rafah border crossing that the entry of aid trucks from the Egyptian side to the Gaza Strip is prohibited, starting from today until further notice," the Palestine Red Crescent Society said.

White House says it can't 'verify' New York Times reporting

Pressed about The New York Times report alleging Israel knew about Hamas' attack plan a year in advance, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told ABC News that the U.S. "can't verify the reporting."

Kirby did not provide any details when asked if President Joe Biden had seen the report, if the Biden administration has or will raise the document with the Israelis or if this report strains trust with the Israelis.

"I’m just not gonna go into more details than what I did before,” Kirby said. "We can’t verify the reporting … and I’m just going to leave it at that."

A U.S. official said "there are no indicators at this time that the [U.S.] Intelligence Community was provided" the document referenced in The New York Times report.

When asked about a possible timeline to resume the pause in fighting, Kirby said, "We are working at this literally by the hour to try to see if we can get [the temporary cease-fire] restored."

"We have every expectation that another pause could be executed," he said.

Gaza death toll rises as war resumes

At least 178 people died and another 589 were wounded in the Gaza Strip on Friday, according to Gaza's Hamas-run Ministry of Health, as Israel resumed its bombardment of the war-torn territory, after a cease-fire with Hamas ended.

"Medical teams are dealing with large numbers of wounded with the end of the truce and renewed bombing of civilians this morning," health ministry spokesperson Dr. Ashraf Al-Qudra said in a statement. "The wounded are lying on the ground in emergency departments and in front of operating rooms as a result of the accumulation of cases."

"The health situation in Gaza and the northern Gaza Strip is extremely disastrous as a result of major hospitals being out of service," he added. "Medical and clinical capabilities in Gaza and the north are very limited. The three remaining hospitals in Gaza and the north are small and not qualified to receive large numbers of wounded."

More than 15,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the war broke out on Oct. 7, according to the health ministry.
