Location at a glance: Trump is expecting ceasefire in Gaza next week

A few days after the entry into force of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, US President Donald Trump also expects a break in the Gaza War next week. It was close to it that he recently spoke to some participants, said Trump in the White House – probably with a view to ongoing mediation efforts. “We think we will get a ceasefire within the next week.” UN Secretary General António Guterres said that the ceasefire between Israel and Iran give rise to hope that there will also be in Gaza.

At first it remained unclear what Trump based on his optimistic statement. The countries of Qatar and Egypt, which are also mediating between Israel and the Islamist Hamas, have long been trying for a new ceasefire in the sealed coastal area. As part of such an agreement, the hostages captured in the Gaza Strip are also to be released by Hamas and other Islamist terrorist groups and many Palestinian prisons from Israeli prisons are to be released.

Report: Investigations into Gaza aid centers

Meanwhile, Israel’s military prosecutor is investigating a newspaper report due to possible war crimes related to shots on Palestinians near auxiliary centers in the Gaza Strip. As the Israeli daily “Haaretz” reported, the investigation unit at the general staff of the armed forces should check whether Israeli soldiers who were to secure the distribution centers of the controversial Gaza Humanitrian Foundation (GHF) have violated humanitarian international law.

According to the UN information, at least 410 Palestinians have been killed in the area of ​​the GHF food distribution since the end of May. In almost all cases, Israeli soldiers are said to have shot unarmed quantities that had been faced with the opening of the centers. “The search for food must never be a death sentence,” said Guterres. The organization doctors without borders criticized X, the GHF program supported by Israel and the USA is “a butcher that is disguised as humanitarian aid”.

According to “Haaretz”, the soldiers and officers involved confirm the killing of Palestinians near the distribution centers. Accordingly, the soldiers would fire people to keep them away from the centers before opening them. “It is a death zone,” the paper quoted a army member who was on site. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz described the report in a joint statement as “malicious lie”. He only serves to “defame the most moral army in the world”.

Previous allegations that the military shoots arbitrarily on Palestinians in the area of ​​the GHF centers had rejected the army with the argument that in all of these cases had a threat to the affected soldiers. The GHF Foundation had brought the GHF Foundation into play after a week-long total blockade of the Gaza Strip to avoid the distribution of relief goods by the UN and other organizations. According to Israeli reading, the majority of the aids that come through these organizations in the Gaza Strip are stolen by the terrorist organization Hamas. There is no evidence.

Every operation that “runs desperate civilians in militarized zones” is unsure, Guterres criticized the GHF mechanism. Israel’s authorities would have to return to a fundamental humanitarian system that the United Nations coordinated, doctors without limits to X. In the meantime, at least eleven other civilians were killed in an Israeli air raid.

Report on other deaths

The Palestinian news agency Wafa reported, citing its own correspondent in Gaza, reported that a tent city was met in the center of the city of Gaza in the north of the coastal area. Several people were injured. The report could not be checked independently at first. Israel’s military did not initially comment on it.

Israel’s self -explanatory goal in the war is to smash Hamas and get the remaining hostages free. According to official Israeli information, 22 living hostages are recorded in Gaza. 28 others are therefore only about handing over their remains. “It is possible that the attack on Iran will advance our goals in Gaza,” said Israel’s chief of staff Ejal Zamir during a visit to the troop.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had previously said: “Iran has suffered a difficult blow”, which would affect Tehran’s allies like Islamist Hamas in Gaza. He wanted to “overcome the fight against the Iranian axis”, which Hamas defeated and reach the release of all hostages. You won’t take your foot from the accelerator pedal.

Since the beginning of the Gaza War more than 20 months ago, according to the health authority controlled by the Hamas, more than 56,300 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip. The independent information that can hardly be checked makes no difference between civilians and fighters. The war was triggered by the attack by Hamas and other Islamist terrorist organizations to Israel on October 7, 2023, in which around 1,200 people were killed and more than 250 deported to Gaza as hostages.

Trump would bomb Iran again if necessary

While more and more people have returned to the capital Tehran in Iran since the beginning of the ceasefire, Israel’s military leadership is now focusing on Gaza again, as General Staff Zamir explained. When asked whether he would have Iran’s nuclear facilities bombed again if there were worries about Tehran’s uranium enrichment again when asked: “Sure, without question, absolutely.” Iran shouldn’t have any nuclear weapons. The recent attacks have thrown the nuclear program back by years, he affirmed. Trump had recently indicated that there will soon be new discussions with Tehran about the nuclear program. He did not give details.

Iran denies to strive for nuclear weapons. The nuclear program only serves civilian purposes. However, the USA, Israel and other countries suspect Iran to develop atomic bombs.
