Israel made dozens of air strikes and artillery shelling in the city of Gaza and killed at least seven Palestinians, although US President Donald Trump urged on Earth to stop her bombing. The escalation comes after Hamas submitted his answer to the 20 -point Trump Plan.
What did Hamas agree with this in Trump’s plan?
Hamas indicated his willingness to pass the Gaza belt management to the Palestinian technocrats and to release all Israeli prisoners. In its response, the group did not deal with the fundamental problem of disarmament, but stated that it was ready to “immediately” peace negotiations through mediators.
President Trump expressed optimism on the video address after Hamas’s statement:
“I believe Hamas is ready for permanent peace,” he said, calling for Israel to “immediately stop the bombing of Gaza.”
Why did the strikes continue despite Trump’s attraction?
Civil Defense spokesman Mahmúd Basal described violence overnight:
“It was a very violent night during which (Israeli army) carried out dozens of air strikes and artillery shelling in the city of Gaza and other areas in the zone, despite President Trump’s challenge to stop the bombing.”
Basal added that 20 houses were destroyed. The hospitals reported victims of strikes. The Baptist Hospital of Gaza adopted the victims of the Tuffah strike, including four dead and several injured. Nasser Hospital in Khan Youenis reported that two children were killed and eight people were injured in a drone strike at a tent in a camp for displaced people.
The Israeli army warned Palestinians not to return to Gaza City and call it a “dangerous combat zone”.
“Urgent announcements and warnings for all Gaza zone.
“For your safety, avoid returning to the north or approaching areas of defensive military forces anywhere in the zone – even in its south.”
How do other countries react to Hamas response?
Pakistan welcomed Hamas’s partial acceptance of Trump as a “welcome step”. Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar Tweet:
“This must now result in an immediate ceasefire, end in Palestinian suffering, ensure hostage, and allow free flow of humanitarian aid. Israel must immediately stop its attacks.”
Canada also appreciated Hamas’s answer. Prime Minister Mark Carney said on X: “Canada welcomes Hamas obligations to give up power and release all the remaining hostages, living and deceased.
What does it mean for peace prospects in Gaza?
Despite the willingness of the Hamas signaling, the Israeli continuing bombing threatens to derail efforts for a ceasefire. The escalation underlines the fragility of diplomatic initiatives and an urgent need for international mediation to avoid other civilian victims.
