Israel BLOWS UP Ceasefire Based On Lies: Reined In By Trump

Ceasefire Violations and International Response [00:09]

• The ceasefire in Gaza was initially called off but may be reinstated.
• The US informed guarantor nations of credible reports of an imminent ceasefire violation by Hamas.
• This alleged attack was described as a direct and grave violation of the ceasefire agreement.
• Guarantors demanded Hamas uphold its obligations, threatening measures to protect Gazan civilians if the attack proceeded.
• Israel began bombing Gaza in response to an incident, which they described as a major ceasefire violation, killing at least 15 Palestinians.
• Over 100 air strikes were reported in Rafa, Kununas, Jabalia, and central Gaza.
• Israel's channel 12 reported that political leadership decided to halt humanitarian aid into Gaza.
• The incident used as a pretext by Israel was caused by an Israeli settler bulldozer running over unexploded ordinance, contradicting claims of a Hamas attack.
• The US administration conveyed to Israel that they knew what had happened, leading Netanyahu to announce the reopening of crossings.
• Israel has violated the ceasefire approximately 50 times since it went into effect.

  The US and other guarantors remain resolute in our commitment to ensuring the safety of civilians, maintaining calm on the ground, advancing peace and prosperity for the people of Gaza and the region as a whole.

The Fragility of the Ceasefire and Governance Vacuum [08:44]

• Israel appears intent on returning to a state of conflict, exploiting any available excuse.
• The current ceasefire is incredibly fragile and requires constant vigilance from the US administration.
• Netanyahu's actions and the Israeli stance suggest a desire to continue the conflict despite the ceasefire.
• The amount of management required from the US to debunk every Israeli claim is substantial, potentially involving high-level intervention.
• There is skepticism about the US White House's ability to sustain this level of attention over extended periods.
• The incident involving the bulldozer was a clear lie by Israeli authorities, which the US immediately debunked.
• The absence of a centralized governing authority in Gaza, coupled with demands for Hamas's unilateral disarmament, could lead to civil war and chaos.
• Without occupation by external forces like the US or UAE, the end state for Gaza risks mirroring the outcomes in Iraq and Afghanistan.
• The political and civilian administration of the Gaza Strip is the critical next step, requiring a legitimate central authority to prevent chaos.
• The vacuum created by the absence of governance can lead to the rise of radical elements, similar to the formation of ISIS and al-Qaeda.

  In the absence, then now what? You know, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, the US would have to step up. I'm not for that at all. I don't think we should occupy, you know, Israel's mess inside of Gaza.

Trump's Plans and the Displacement of Palestinians [17:48]

• Former President Trump proposed a plan for Gaza involving relocation to other countries like Egypt or Jordan.
• He envisioned developing Gaza, calling it "freedom place," and suggested moving its population to regions with available land.
• This plan is seen as preposterous and a creation of a migration crisis, pushing millions out of Gaza.
• The proposal is criticized for ignoring the immense trauma and healthcare needs of the Gazan population, including widespread amputations and lack of nutrition.
• Egypt, facing its own political and economic issues, is unlikely to absorb a destitute and traumatized population.
• The Israeli objective is perceived as complete war and ethnic cleansing, with the idea of a "final solution" becoming more acceptable to a broad segment of the Israeli population.
• The US administration is urged to use all available levers to force an outcome on the Israelis, though this is considered difficult.

  And so, not only is it, you know, a difficult situation when you have migration crisis anyway, but then you have this incredibly traumatized um, you know, like population suffering from all these healthcare anyway.

Journalist's Ordeal in the West Bank and Embassy Abandonment [22:49]

• Jasper Nathaniel, an American journalist in the West Bank, was ruthlessly attacked by Jewish settlers.
• He was essentially told to fend for himself by the United States embassy.
• This incident highlights a lack of support for journalists covering sensitive situations.

  Basically told to fend for himself uh by the United States embassy.

Broader Context of Gaza and International Policy [16:00]

• The concept of phase two, focusing on governance and reconstruction in Gaza, is far off.
• There is a significant divergence in vision between the US, Palestinians, and Israel regarding Gaza's future.
• Maintaining even the current, new ceasefire is deemed extraordinarily difficult.
• Quotes from Israeli officials like Ben Gavir advocate for returning to war and opening "the gates of hell upon Gaza" and establishing Jewish settlements.
• The war's objective to remove Hamas from power is seen as a failure if Hamas still possesses any political administration or capability.
• An occupation by external forces like the US or UAE is suggested as the only way to establish civilian administration, which is not favored.
• The scenario in Gaza is predicted to be disastrous, with a bombed-out infrastructure and a desperate population susceptible to radical ideologies.

  The Israelis have no interest in actual civilian administration of Gaza. They'd rather just them all leav
