Hamas: Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ must stop Israel’s killing in Gaza
Why it matters: This escalating situation threatens to unravel the fragile peace agreement, deepen the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and further destabilize the region, potentially drawing in other international actors.
- Hamas accuses Israel of violating the U.S.-brokered Gaza deal through killings, displacement, and starvation, demanding an end to the siege and the opening of crossings.
- The UN reports that less than 60% of crucial aid consignments from Egypt are being allowed into Gaza, and humanitarian movements face continuing obstacles coordinated with Israeli authorities.
- Israel continues military actions, including artillery shelling, gunfire, air strikes, naval attacks on fishermen, and demolitions of residential areas, while also blocking the entry of aid and the exit of sick and wounded people.
Hamas is urging President Trump's "Board of Peace" to intervene and halt what it describes as Israel's ongoing "war of genocide" in Gaza, citing over 600 Palestinian deaths since the October truce. Simultaneously, the UN reports that Israel is severely restricting aid into Gaza, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis, while Israel continues military actions.
