Israel Bombs Gaza, Casting Doubt on Trump Peace Plan
Israel intensified its airstrikes on Gaza over the weekend as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remained publicly silent on a U.S.-backed agreement to disarm Hamas, deepening uncertainty over its implementation.
Israel has conducted airstrikes in Gaza, resulting in the deaths of over two dozen Palestinians, despite the recent agreement between Hamas and other militant groups to disarm. The intensified bombings come days after U.S. President Donald Trump announced the progress made in implementing his 20-point peace plan, which includes a Palestinian statehood pathway, but Israel has not fully complied with the plan's demands.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not publicly responded to Trump's announcement, and Israeli officials have expressed objections to the plan. The Israeli government's continued airstrikes, especially since the October cease-fire, have raised concerns about the possibility of undermining peace efforts in the region.
