The occupation's Minister of War: I directed the army to prepare a comprehensive plan to defeat Hamas.

The office of Israeli Minister of War Israel Katz stated in a statement that Katz has directed the army to prepare a comprehensive plan to defeat Hamas in the Gaza Strip if the war resumes.

Katz's stance coincided with comments from U.S. President Donald Trump, who stated that a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip is contingent upon Hamas's full compliance, emphasizing that the occupying forces could resume fighting "at a word" from him if the movement does not adhere to the agreement.

In a brief phone call with CNN, Trump added when asked what would happen if Hamas refused to disarm, saying: "Israel will return to those streets at a word from me; if Israel can go into Gaza and eliminate them, they will do it."

He further emphasized his authority on this issue: "I will consider allowing Netanyahu to resume military operations if Hamas refuses to comply with the ceasefire, but he also acknowledged the positive role the movement is currently playing in maintaining security within the sector.

He praised the movement's enforcement of order, saying: "Hamas is currently intervening and eliminating violent gangs," indicating that the movement has begun to implement the security aspect of the agreement aimed at establishing stability within the sector.

Trump confirmed that achieving the first phase of the agreement was of utmost importance, considering the release of prisoners from Gaza to be extremely significant.

These warnings come just two days after the Sharm El-Sheikh peace summit, which witnessed the signing of a comprehensive document to end the war in Gaza attended by about 20 world leaders.

In this context, a leadership source in the Palestinian resistance denied the accuracy of what U.S. President Donald Trump recently announced regarding the launch of the second phase of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, stating: "These statements are completely untrue; negotiations for the second phase have not yet begun, and there is no specific date set for the anticipated negotiations."

He pointed out in exclusive statements that "the Qatari and Egyptian mediators have not communicated with the resistance factions regarding discussions about the second phase of negotiations, and so far no specific date has been agreed upon."

He affirmed that "in light of the Israeli violations of the first phase of the agreement, time is currently being wasted in attempts to close the gaps and force Israel to adhere to the terms of the first phase of the agreement."

On October 10, the first phase of the ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement came into effect, according to Trump's plan.

In return, Israel released 250 Palestinian prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment, in addition to 1,718 it detained from the Gaza Strip after October 8, 2023, and more than 10,000 Palestinian prisoners, including children and women, remain in Israeli jails, suffering from torture, starvation, and medical neglect, with many having died, according to Palestinian and Israeli human rights and media reports.
