Israel threatens Gaza war resumption to force disarmament as truce' frays
"Palestinian factions reject US-backed plans linking humanitarian aid to weapons surrender, demanding a political horizon. Families in Gaza brace for renewed offensive as Israeli officials threaten to tear up the fragile agreement."
"Despite a ceasefire in place since October, families continue to pull bodies from the rubble. According to local medical sources, 828 Palestinians have been killed since the truce began."
"The military has ramped up pressure to resume hostilities, with a senior official stating that an additional round of fighting was almost inevitable due to Hamas's refusal to surrender its weapons."
"Israeli forces have expanded their territorial control to 59 percent of the Strip, regularising their occupation through daily violations of the ceasefire and moving additional troops into Gaza and the occupied West Bank."
Palestinian factions have rejected US-backed plans that tie humanitarian aid to the surrender of weapons, insisting on a political solution. Despite a ceasefire since October, violence continues in Gaza, with 828 Palestinians reported killed during this period. Israeli officials threaten to abandon the ceasefire, and military pressure is increasing for renewed hostilities. The Israeli military has expanded its territorial control in Gaza, while mediators in Cairo are urging Palestinian factions to accept a new framework for peace proposed by US representatives.
