Reference News Network reported on October 21 U.S. President Donald Trump said on October 20 that he would give Hamas a chance to enforce its Gaza ceasefire agreement with Israel, but Trump also warned that if Hamas did not, the group would be ¡°eradicated.¡±

The Trump speech.

Trump told reporters during a meeting with Australia Prime Minister Anthony Albanese at the White House: "We had an agreement with Hamas, and they promised to abide by it and perform well. If they don't keep their promises, we will destroy them. They will be 'eradicated' and they know it."

Trump also insisted that the U.S. military would not be involved in the fight against Hamas. He said that countries that have agreed to join the Gaza International Stability Force would be very willing to participate in the fight. Trump said: ¡°In addition, if I agree, Israel would be in the state of action within two minutes. But now, we haven¡¯t said to take action. We¡¯re going to give it (Hamas) a little chance, hoping to use a little less violence. But you know, the organization is enjoying the use of violence.¡±

Trump said Hamas is much weaker now, especially since its supporter Iran was attacked by the United States and Israel earlier this year, so it is unlikely to continue to provide support to Hamas now. (Compiled by/Pan Xiaoyan)

Extended reading

In the Middle East, war has resumed, Hamas continues to execute domestic abuses.

Gaza City was razed to the ground

Unsurprisingly, the Middle East is hanging again.

There are signs that Mars is in turmoil and the war has begun to resume.

On October 17, a fierce exchange of fire broke out between Israel and Hamas.

Israel accuses Hamas of attacking Israeli troops in southern Gaza, killing two Israeli soldiers, one of whom is still a major.

Israel subsequently launched massive attacks on Gaza, with explosions continuing to rise and more than 40 Palestinians killed on the same day.

Although the war in Gaza has gradually subsided under the pressure of the United States, Israel is indeed becoming increasingly dissatisfied.

According to the first phase of the ceasefire agreement reached, Hamas needs to release all living hostages and hand over the bodies of all dead hostages.

However, in the current process, 20 living hostages have been released, and Hamas has only returned 12 of the bodies of 28 hostages expected in total.

Israel accuses Hamas of deliberately delaying.

Israeli foreign ministers have criticized Hamas' attempt to use the bodies of hostages as codes.

Gaza City Buildings Collapsed Bombed

The hostages were released, and the hostage bodies were collected.

This reminds us of the cruel logic of war¡ªwhere is the bottom line of humanity when life itself becomes a code?

Hamas is aggrieved, saying that they have returned all the recovered hostage bodies, and that other hostage bodies require "extensive efforts and special equipment" to find them, which will all take time.

After all, Israel has blown up Gaza into ruins, and many Palestinians, as well as the bodies of hostages, are buried under the ruins, no one knows exactly where.

It can be said that under the ruins, not only the lost lives are buried, but also the truth that has been blown to pieces.

Israelis demand release of hostages

Hamas¡¯s anger has also escalated.

According to Hamas, they abided by the ceasefire agreement. In the 17th conflict, they were hunting down Palestinian organizations that cooperated with Israel.

However, Israel intervened recklessly and killed people. Before Sunday's fierce clashes, Israel also attacked a vehicle carrying 11 civilians, according to CNN.

The Israeli military explained that the vehicle crossed the line set by the Israeli army and after the Israeli fire warned, "the vehicle continued to move forward, posing imminent danger to the Israeli army."

Under the coordination of the United Nations, the Gaza Civil Defense Department has found the bodies of nine people, including four children and three women.

When a warning gunshot easily takes the lives of innocent people, the boundary between security and killing is blurred so that only the definition of power remains.

Hamas has previously accused Israel of having "accumulated 47 violations of the agreement since the agreement came into force, resulting in 38 deaths and 143 wounds", excluding the conflict of 17 December.

In addition, as a means of pressure, the Israeli military closed the Rafah border between Gaza and Egypt, which is the life line of Gaza¡¯s humanitarian aid.

The Israeli Prime Minister¡¯s office said whether Rafah will be opened depends on ¡°how Hamas will fulfill its responsibilities in returning hostages and implementing the agreement.¡±

Hamas criticized Israel's closure of border points as a "blatant violation of the terms of the ceasefire agreement."

Another thing that makes the United States and Israel very dissatisfied is that Hamas is constantly executing mole.

Hamas members, who were once in the tunnels, have returned to active on the streets of Gaza, publicly executing Palestinian spies who collaborated with Israel and clearing out Israeli-backed Gaza armed groups.

During the war in Gaza, a large number of Hamas leaders have been cleared by Israel, and you have to admire Israel¡¯s outstanding intelligence capabilities, and you have to regret the infiltration of Palestine.

Hamas¡¯s executions on the streets and the killing of the pro-Israeli organization are obviously a favorable time to seize a cease-fire and solidify its position in Gaza.

But the United States is very unhappy.

The U.S. State Department on October 18 accused "credible reports" that Hamas was planning "imminent ceasefire violations" against Palestinians in Gaza.

The statement said: "This impending attack against Palestinian civilians will constitute a direct and serious violation of the ceasefire agreement and undermine the significant progress made through mediation efforts. If Hamas continues to launch attacks, (the guarantor) will take measures to protect the people of Gaza and maintain the integrity of the ceasefire."

What does that mean?

If Hamas continues, I'm sorry, the United States will take action.

Hamas militants

According to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, the war will not end until the bodies of all hostages are returned and Hamas lays down its arms.

Netanyahu's exact words were: "When the terms of the agreement that should have been accepted are implemented, the Gaza war will eventually end, which includes first and foremost stage A-the return of all our hostages. Phase B also includes the disarmament of Hamas, or rather the disarmament of the Gaza Strip, and before that it was Hamas."

But now :

1. Hamas cannot return all hostage bodies;

Israel continues to fire attacks.

3. Israel closed the lifeline of Gaza's rescue;

Hamas is accelerating the cleansing of internal enemies.

Hamas will also disarm according to the regulations.

Every one is difficult, every one can break out, and each one will become the spark of a new war.

In the Middle East, the blueprint for peace is always magnificent, but it is always crushed on the reef of reality.

Return to Gaza City

Finally what do you think?

Let's make three superficial points.

First, the surface light effect will not be too long.

It must be assured that Trump has played a huge and irreplaceable role in promoting a ceasefire in Gaza.

But it must also be seen that this ceasefire is more of a surface light, does not solve the substantive problems, but leaves too many hidden dangers.

The fragile ceasefire is like a blurred dam, which appears to block the flood, but inside it has long been overflowing.

This also means that such a surface light effect should not be too long.

You see, it is not ruled out that one day there will be another big fight, and then there will be pressure to dissuade the fight, a new ceasefire and new destruction...

This vicious cycle is normal in the Middle East.

Second, none of the parties are oil-saving lamps.

The U.S. government needs not say much. Trump's way of persuading the fight made the world laugh and cry. A grand peace summit has also been held, but has the problem really been solved?

What about Israel?

It must be noted that Israel will not tolerate the continued existence of Hamas, let alone the fact that Hamas remains armed. It should also be noted that if the Gaza War ends, accountability will inevitably be held within Israel. Netanyahu's future is uncertain and he cannot rule out being imprisoned.

What about Hamas?

Would an armed organization that started from fighting really be willing to hand over all its weapons? Even if the Hamas leadership agrees, some hard-line elements will not agree, which means the split of Hamas, and the hard-line forces will not rule out a bloody battle to the end.

All sides are unable to allow the fate of the chessboard, but forget that they may also be just a chesspiece in a larger chessboard.

Will the war end forever?

This is also a common sense issue.

U.S. President Trump

Third, peace in the Middle East needs to address the symptoms and root causes.

This is the idea of our Chinese people, that there is no peace day.

But in the Middle East, it is extremely difficult to treat both the symptoms and root causes.

This requires the United States not to be distracted, requires Israel to give hope to the Palestinians, and requires Hamas to seek a true path to peace.

All prerequisites are the establishment of a truly independent and free Palestinian state.

Will the United States agree with Israel?

Peace without justice is oppression, and justice without peace is empty talk.Both are combined, and need not only wisdom, but courage to overcome hatred.

Again, if the Palestinians continue to live in humiliation and anger, their resistance will never be subsided. Even if Hamas disappears, there will be a new Hamas, a resistance movement under a new banner.

The good news is that the ceasefire in Gaza, hardly, has lasted for a week; the bad news is that new wars have begun to knock on the door, and Mars is rolling out.
