Trump-linked peace council urges Israel and Hamas to observe Gaza ceasefire

A peace council associated with Donald Trump has called on both Israel and Hamas to respect the existing ceasefire in Gaza. The council has also issued a warning to Hamas, specifically advising against the resumption of flying kites equipped with incendiary devices into Israeli territory.

“

All military activity in Gaza must cease, including flying kites. We have conveyed this message through established channels.

"All military activity in Gaza must cease, including flying kites. We have conveyed this message through established channels," a source within the peace council stated, as reported by AFP and the Times of Israel. This warning comes after Israel had previously threatened a forceful response if Hamas revived the tactic of sending fire-laden kites across the border.

The council's message to Israel urges restraint, emphasizing that military actions should be limited to responses to genuine and immediate threats. "Israel must also follow the ceasefire; military actions cannot be carried out except in response to real and immediate threats," the source added.

However, Israeli military chief Eyal Zamir signaled a continued offensive, stating that targeted attacks will persist until all individuals responsible for the October 7 attacks are "eliminated." He asserted, "We will not allow our enemies along the borders, and in particular against Gaza and Lebanon, to strengthen. We will take every opportunity to eliminate threats as they arise."
