In light of the ongoing Israeli violations.. Is the Gaza agreement collapsing?

As the days pass and the continuous attacks by the Israeli occupation forces on the Gaza Strip escalate, fears are growing over the possibility of the collapse of the ceasefire agreement that the Palestinian resistance in Gaza reached with Israel under the plan proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Since the signing of the agreement, the Israeli occupation has been committing continuous violations, with a report broadcast by Al Jazeera documenting more than 400 Israeli violations, which varied between gunfire, incursions, shelling, and the demolition of homes. The ongoing violation of the ceasefire has resulted in more than 340 martyrs and 800 injured.

Notably, Israel always uses excuses to justify its violations of the ceasefire, prompting the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) to repeatedly call on mediators for urgent intervention to stop the Israeli violations.

Hamas stated in a statement that "the escalation of the occupation's violations places the mediators and the U.S. administration before the responsibility of confronting its attempts to undermine the ceasefire in Gaza."

Hamas leader Ezzat al-Risheq denied that Hamas had informed U.S. envoy Steve Wittekov that the ceasefire agreement had ended, as claimed by Israeli sources, affirming that Israel "fabricates excuses to evade the agreement and return to the war of extermination."

He emphasized that it is Israel that systematically violates the agreement on a daily basis.

Israel claims that Hamas is the one violating the ceasefire, and the office of the Israeli Prime Minister stated in a statement yesterday that "Hamas violated the ceasefire by sending an armed individual to an area occupied by the Israeli army in Gaza to carry out an attack," which the movement denied and demanded pressure on Israel to reveal the identity of this armed individual.

In this context, Dr. Ibrahim Fraihat, a professor of international conflicts at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, stated in an interview with the program "Beyond the News" yesterday that Israel wants to maintain its security dominance in Gaza, and that this is done in agreement with the U.S. administration.

This is the same opinion held by senior researcher at the Al Jazeera Center for Studies, Dr. Laqaa Maki, who said in the same program that the U.S. administration is pleased with what Israel is doing in Gaza.

Israel insists on the necessity of disarming the Palestinian resistance in Gaza before anything else, even though the second phase of the Gaza agreement includes a series of interconnected points, such as the withdrawal of occupation forces, reconstruction, and the formation of a committee to manage Gaza.

For his part, the professor of international conflicts at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies states that Israel's goal is to dismantle and completely eliminate the resistance, considering it an existential battle, noting that Israel carries out targeting and assassinations without providing evidence for its claims, meaning it throws accusations without substantiation.

Trump had stated last month that the second phase of the Gaza agreement had indeed begun, confirming that senior U.S. officials had informed Hamas that it must disarm quickly, or else it would be done violently.

Academic and Israeli affairs expert Dr. Mahmoud Yazbek believes that Israel is exploiting what he calls the "yellow zone" between the implementation of the first phase of the agreement and the second phase.

Yazbek told the program "Beyond the News" that "the mediators do not have enough power to pressure the United States to prevent Israel from what it is currently committing."

He emphasized that the main issue now is the mediators, who he said Trump has opened a direct line to, and they must utilize this line for the U.S. president to play his role in stopping the Israeli assaults on Gaza.

Yazbek added that the failure of the mediators to pressure the U.S. administration directly will allow Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to exploit the new reality he is shaping in the region.
