Hamas rejects US claim on Gaza ceasefire violation as ‘Israeli propaganda’

The US State Department disputed a statement that the agency had issued that contained “credible reports” that suggested the Palestinians would soon violate the ceasefire agreement with Israel.

Hamas claimed in a statement on Sunday that the allegations against the US were false and “fully align with the deceptive Israeli propaganda” and provided cover for the continued crimes and organized aggression against our people.

Hamas is alleged to be planning an attack on civilians in Gaza “in grave violation of the ceasefire,” according to the US State Department, and it had called on mediators to press for the US to follow through on its obligations under the US-backed peace deal.

The State Department stated in a statement late on Saturday that it had received “credible reports indicating an imminent ceasefire violation by Hamas against the people of Gaza.”

Without providing specific information on the planned attack, it said, “Should Hamas proceed with this attack, measures will be taken to protect the people of Gaza and preserve the integrity of the ceasefire.”

Hamas urged the US to “stop repeating the misleading narrative of the Israeli occupation and concentrate on reducing its repeated violations of the ceasefire agreement.”

The occupation authorities are responsible for the formation, funding, and assembling criminal gangs that carried out killings, kidnappings, the theft of aid trucks, and assaults on Palestinian civilians, according to the facts on the ground. They have publicly admitted their crimes in video and media, confirming the occupation’s role in creating chaos and preventing security, according to the statement.

Hamas claimed that its police in Gaza are “fulfilling their national duty to pursue these gangs and hold them accountable according to clear legal mechanisms, to protect citizens and preserve public and private property” with “wide popular and community support.”

“Attaining a civil conflict”

Mouin Rabbani, a scholar and analyst for the Middle East and Palestine, described the US State Department’s warning as mind-blowing.

According to Rabbani, “I believe this is really an attempt to stoke civil conflict in the Gaza Strip” to accomplish what Israel has so far failed to accomplish.

The Israeli-occupied country’s analyst noted that Israel has already joined forces with “armed gangs and collaborator militias” who serve as Israeli proxies in the war-torn enclave to “wreak havoc” in Gaza.

It is “boggles the mind and defies the imagination” to think that this is in any way the United States supporting the victims of the genocide it has supported for two years.

Since the US-mediated ceasefire was last week in force, Hamas and Israel have been tussling over its violations, which could put a strain on the week-old agreement.

According to American-Israeli analyst Gershon Baskin, all agreements between Palestinians and Israelis have been “breached” in some way or another throughout the history of the two.

According to him, “if the Americans are serious that they want this to work, they must be engaged every day and several times a day” to ensure that the steps agreed upon are carried out on the ground.

Since the ceasefire ended, the Gaza Government Media Office has recorded 38 Palestinian fatalities and 143 injuries from almost 50 Israeli violations of the peace agreement.

The Israelis’ actions were described as “flagrant and obvious violations of international humanitarian law” and the cease-fire decision.

Israel’s “continued aggressive approach despite the declaration of a ceasefire,” the office claims. The attack directly targeted and bombed civilians in Gaza.

Israel has also been accused of breaking the ceasefire agreement by continuing to thwart efforts to reopen the Gaza-Gaza border crossing.

In order to boost the flow of humanitarian aid into the Strip and allow Palestinians to travel abroad, Rafah was suggested.
