Hamas has called on international mediators to compel Israel to adhere to the Gaza ceasefire agreement. The Palestinian resistance group’s spokesperson, Hazem Qassem, accused Israel of violating the truce by attacking civilian homes under false pretenses. According to a report by Middle East Monitor, Qassem said Israeli forces were intensifying assaults in Gaza despite ongoing mediation efforts to maintain peace in the region.

The spokesperson alleged that Tel Aviv was ignoring all attempts by mediators to preserve calm in the Gaza Strip and continuing to bomb civilian areas. He emphasized that Israel must be forced to stop breaching the ceasefire agreement. Gaza’s government media office reported that since October, Israel has violated the ceasefire 1,620 times, resulting in 573 deaths and 1,553 injuries.

The repeated violations, as reported by Gaza authorities, have raised concerns about the sustainability of the ceasefire and the effectiveness of mediation efforts aimed at restoring stability in the region.
