US President Donald Trump said in remarks to CNN on Wednesday that he would consider allowing Israeli forces to resume military operations in the Gaza Strip if Hamas fails to uphold its commitments under the ceasefire agreement.
In a brief phone interview, Trump was asked what would happen if Hamas refused to disarm. He replied, “Israel will be back on those streets at my word.”
The president stressed that continued calm in Gaza “depends entirely on Hamas fulfilling its obligations under the deal.” His comments came amid growing criticism that the Israeli occupation has repeatedly violated the ceasefire since it came into effect last Friday.
According to the Gaza Center for Human Rights, Israeli occupation forces committed 36 ceasefire violations in the Gaza Strip since the truce began, resulting in the martyrdom of seven civilians and the injury of several others.
'Israel' violates Gaza ceasefire
The Israeli occupation forces have violated the recently declared ceasefire in Gaza, launching new drone strikes across the Strip that killed seven Palestinians and wounded several others, according to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent and Palestinian media outlets.
Israeli media outlets admitted that the occupation's military resumed its attacks on Tuesday, just three days after the ceasefire came into effect, reigniting tensions amid ongoing humanitarian devastation in the besieged territory.
Our correspondents confirmed that five Palestinians were martyred after being targeted by Israeli drones in the al-Shujaiya neighborhood east of Gaza City.
Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in Gaza also reported that Israeli occupation forces struck the Halawa displacement camp in Jabalia al-Balad, north of the Strip, injuring several displaced civilians.
In the southern Gaza Strip, a Palestinian man was killed and another was injured in a drone strike on al-Fakhari, east of Khan Younis. Israeli drones also dropped bombs near Aabasan Clinic and on Abu Salah Street in Aabasan al-Kabira, further heightening fear among residents attempting to return to their homes.
