On the 14th, just as Trump announced "the Palestinian finally ceasefire" in a few hours, the gunfire on the side of Gaza again sounded. The ink of the ceasefire agreement has not yet dried up, and the Israeli bullets were fired to Gaza again.
This ceasefire agreement was brokered by the Trump administration. External propaganda called it a "historic breakthrough" and said that both sides were finally willing to sit down and stop fighting. But the reality is, no matter how beautifully the agreement is signed, if no one really wants to abide by it, it will be just a piece of paper. Now people have to wonder whether Israel takes this agreement seriously or whether it is a temporary fig leaf.
Hamas responded quickly, saying that Israel took the initiative to provoke and attack multiple locations after the ceasefire, resulting in civilian casualties. The statement used fierce words, accusing the Israeli army of "deliberately undermining the agreement" and calling on the international community to take care of it. The Israeli military gave a completely different statement, saying that some Palestinians crossed the "yellow line" they set and did not listen to advice, so they launched the strike procedure, calling this a "response to threats" and not an active attack.
It sounds like the two sides are talking about it, but the newly signed ceasefire agreement has been defeated, and more importantly, it is not the first time that this kind of “war on the side of ceasefire” has occurred.
This is not coincidence, it is calculation.
The Israeli army's operation was very sensitive in timing and very "skilled" in techniques. It looks like an emergency from the outside, but if you think about it, you can see the secret.
First, the hostage issue was resolved. Previously, Hamas held a lot of Israeli hostages in its hands, which is a big concern for the Israeli military operation. Now the agreement is signed, the hostages are released, the pressure is gone, the natural restrictions are less. That is, the concerns in the heart of Israel have been cleared, and the action is more profound.
Israeli estimates are very accurate. What they probably think is that Hamas does not want to be the "sinful" that destroys the ceasefire now, and will not react immediately. So they try to "move one move" and see where the other's bottom line is. This "small move" can be seen as a tough gesture on the inside, and not too much on the outside.
Moreover, Israel has had similar operations in the past. Say a ceasefire, turn around and fight; It was said to be defensive, but it ended up hitting civilian areas. Every time he finished playing, he said that he was "forced". This pattern is no longer news. This time it's just a continuation of the old routine.
The problem is that such behavior will drag the international community into an endless cycle. The agreement was broken as soon as it was signed, and the sense of trust was lost. Next time we talk, who can we trust? If the international community chooses not to express its position at this time or even pretend not to see it, it will be a tacit recognition to Israel. To put it bluntly, even if you call, I don't care, you will continue to call next time.
As for the attitude of the Trump administration, there is no accurate letter yet. As the "sponsor" of this agreement, Trump definitely doesn't want this to be messed up. After all, this agreement is not only a diplomatic achievement for him, but also a voting tool. But the problem is that if he chooses to favor Israel, it is tantamount to pushing the agreement into a pit of fire. On the other hand, if he wants Israel to stop, he will have to risk offending his allies. Under the dilemma, his "silence" became the default.
The real problem is not in the agreement, but in the root.
This conflict is not because one word is not clear, nor because someone has taken a step, but because there are a lot of deeper contradictions not resolved.
At the same time as the Gaza Strip was still in turmoil, the Israeli Minister of National Security rushed to the Aqsa Mosque “a round.” This place, everyone knows is a sensitive zone, everyone knows that this move will anger the Muslim world, but he is going, not the first time.
In addition to the situation on the Gaza Strip, tensions in the entire region have increased. The West Bank has also begun to become uncomfortable, and some places have already seen conflict. The attitude of the Arab countries towards Israel has also become more tough.
Let's talk about the peace process. Egypt has held a peace summit these days. It sounds decent, but the results are not great. Because the two key parties-senior Israeli officials and Hamas-were not there at all. In a summit without a protagonist, no matter how much the remaining diplomats talk, it will only be a scene. To put it bluntly, it means "make a show".
More seriously, now no one talks about the “two-country plan.” This has long been regarded internationally as a fundamental solution to the Palestinian issue, but is now left aside. The Trump administration has not mentioned the word from the beginning to the end, but rather tends to the “economy to peace” “security to self-government” one-sided approach.
As for the so-called "future governance", it sounds even more troublesome. Some people have proposed that U.S. troops be stationed in Gaza, saying it is to maintain stability. This idea sounds quite "international", but in the eyes of local people, it means "letting outsiders take care of us." What's more, the United States 'role in the Middle East has never been very neutral. Letting U.S. troops enter Gaza will be a disguised occupation.
There is also a saying that international forces should take over Gaza, which sounds ideal, but it is basically useless to operate. Who will take over? Who can let Hamas decentralize power? Who can guarantee that Israel will not intervene? No one can answer these questions. It seems to be to solve the problem, but it may actually create more trouble.
In the final analysis, if peace is only pressed by external forces, it can't stand the trouble. What can really be stabilized is that all parties recognize each other's basic rights and living space. Now, these things are far from settled.
A paper agreement cannot stop firearms, and the road to peace must cross the real edge.
This ceasefire seemed to be a "breakthrough", but it quickly exposed its vulnerability. The actions of the Israeli army, Hamas's reaction, the silence of the international community, and the embarrassing position of the Trump administration all show that peace cannot be piled up by diplomatic rhetoric.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza is still bad, the power supply is extremely unstable, the medical system is almost collapsing, and people live in anxiety and uncertainty.Even if there are no explosions for a day or two, no one dares to say “the war is over.”
If the international community really wants peace to stop, it cannot just focus on "whether there is a ceasefire", but on "why there is always a ceasefire". As long as Israel continues to use "security" as a pretext to attack Palestinians, as long as Palestine does not have its own country and dignity, this cycle of "fighting again just after a ceasefire" will not end.
And if Trump really wants to see the deal as a political capital, then he has to take responsibility and promote a real political solution, not just look at the surface.
This ceasefire, which broke down at the beginning, is not an isolated incident, but a microcosm of "treating the symptoms rather than the root cause" of the entire Palestinian-Israeli issue. Peace can't be exchanged by a paper agreement alone. Only when all parties are willing to face problems, put down their calculations and show sincerity can peace be a little possible.
conclusion
This conflict is not an end, but a reminder. Remind us that peace is not achieved by shouting the slogan of stopping the fire, nor can it be achieved by shaking hands by a few leaders. Real peace depends on fairness, respect, and resolution of fundamental contradictions.
The most difficult issue now is not whether there is an agreement, but whether anyone really cares whether the agreement can be implemented. As long as this problem still hangs in the air, the thing we worry about most will happen again. The road to peace is not a game of two steps back, nor is it a prop on the political stage. It is the most real hope for millions of Gazans after getting up every day.
But now, this hope still seems far away.
