Despite more than 6 weeks having passed since the ceasefire agreement that came into effect on October 10, tensions in the Gaza Strip have escalated, amid increasing Israeli violations and attempts to redraw the maps of field control. Ambiguity now surrounds the ceasefire agreement, the general situation in the Gaza Strip, and the nature of the second phase of the agreement signed in Sharm El-Sheikh.
It has become essential for the guarantors of the agreement to establish a clear and specific mechanism for informing mediators of any violations to take action and address the issues of displaced families and the tragedy of citizens in the tents of the displaced, as winter rains continue to fall and there are no means for life, including infrastructure to cope with the thunderstorms and rains that engulf the tents.
It remains unclear the readiness and capability of the international community to deploy an international stabilization force, in implementation of the recent Security Council resolution, while Israel seeks to impose new realities on the ground through intensified bombing and incursions, moving the yellow line westward. Mediators are striving to ensure adherence to the agreement, and any unilateral change threatens to undermine the truce, leaving the future of the agreement ambiguous. According to informed field sources, around 497 violations of the agreement have been recorded since its implementation began, including dozens of airstrikes, artillery shelling, and military movements within areas that are supposed to be outside the control of the Israeli occupation army.
These violations have resulted in the martyrdom of 342 civilians and the injury of 875 others, while the total number of martyrs since the outbreak of the war in October 2023 has risen to 69,733 martyrs and 170,863 injured, according to the Ministry of Health.
At the same time, the practices of the occupation are escalating, and Israeli violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, is increasing, particularly the terrorism of settlers, who draw their courage from extremists in the Israeli government and continue to provide support and bolster colonial activities. They also carry out deliberate attacks on homes and properties, including the arson of a mosque near Deir Istiya, and their daily violent assaults on Palestinians attempting to harvest olives and on shepherds and their livestock, in a serious violation of international law and a blatant breach of United Nations resolutions.
Meanwhile, international media have revealed details of an American plan to divide Gaza into two areas: a "red" area west of the yellow line, and a "green" area under the control of the Israeli army. The plan stipulates the establishment of temporary residential clusters in the green areas, including housing units, schools, hospitals, and humanitarian services, aimed at accommodating the population who will be asked to leave the western areas, while guarantees for the full implementation of the Sharm El-Sheikh peace agreement are fading, as the occupation government has not effectively implemented any of the ceasefire terms.
The occupation authorities continue these actions even during the ceasefire period, which has become mere ink on paper. The practices of the Israeli occupation and the massacre of collective housing in the Gaza Strip, along with the ongoing policy of killing by the occupation government, the obstruction of sufficient humanitarian aid, and the continued demolition of homes in the sector constitute a widespread commission of genocide.
The continuation of the grave violations committed by Israel, the occupying power, throughout the occupied Palestinian territories, is a blatant challenge to international law and the provisions of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, which came into effect on October 10, 2025, following mediation by the United States, Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey.
