Israel's continued Gaza attacks jeopardize peace plan, regional powers warn

Ongoing Israeli attacks in Gaza are casting doubt on the viability of peace plans and the prospect of a lasting ceasefire, despite recent agreements.

Turkiye, along with seven other nations including Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, has condemned recent Israeli assaults on health facilities, medical infrastructure, and civilian areas in Gaza. These actions are described as violations of international law and pose a significant risk to the second phase of a peace plan mediated by the United States.

The joint statement from these foreign ministers highlighted that Israel's persistent attacks, which have resulted in civilian casualties, particularly among women and children, could undermine efforts to achieve a permanent ceasefire. The continued military operations also raise questions about Israel's commitment to the peace process, especially as diplomatic efforts advance.

Palestinian health officials report approximately 1,200 Palestinians killed in Gaza over nine months following Israel's agreement to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire in October. This highlights a gap between announced diplomatic progress and the situation on the ground, where military actions persist. While U.S. President Donald Trump has claimed significant progress in his plan to end the conflict, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed reservations, stating that Israel has not fully agreed to the proposed peace plan and has submitted its own comments and views.
