The Breakfast Show on LTV International Hour: Gaza Strip Ceasefire Update
The Breakfast Show on LTV International Hour discussed the ongoing situation in the Gaza Strip amid the first phase of a ceasefire agreement brokered by US President Donald Trump and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. Despite the ceasefire, Israeli forces have reportedly killed around 240 Palestinians in the past month, violating the agreement.
Key Issues Highlighted
-
The “Yellow Line” Demarcation: Israeli soldiers established a “yellow line” dividing Gaza. Behind this line, many Palestinian homes and rubble remain. Palestinians attempting to return to these areas have been shot, underscoring the challenges in managing the ceasefire on the ground.
-
Violence and Ceasefire Violations: Professor Hassan Wageeh, an expert in international relations, emphasized the continuous violence against Palestinians and called for international intervention to address these violations. He noted that extremist mentalities and ongoing occupation stances hinder the ceasefire’s implementation.
-
US Diplomatic Efforts: The US is reportedly sending envoys, including Jared Kushner, to discuss operationalizing the ceasefire with Israeli leadership. However, proposals remain vague, including the possibility of establishing an American base in Gaza.
-
Hamas Fighters Trapped in Tunnels: Approximately 200 Hamas fighters are trapped in tunnels in the Gaza-Rafah area, controlled by Israeli forces. Hamas demands safe passage for these fighters, but Israel refuses, leaving the group vulnerable. Professor Wageeh expressed hope that diplomatic efforts led by Kushner might yield a reasonable resolution.
Egypt’s Diplomatic Role
Egypt’s diplomatic efforts were highlighted positively. The Egyptian foreign minister recently engaged with Turkey to prepare for a Gaza reconstruction conference scheduled to be held in Egypt later in the month. Professor Wageeh praised Egypt’s steadfast and honorable diplomatic efforts aimed at achieving a lasting solution, ideally a two-state solution, with broad international support.
“Egypt’s role is crucial in steering diplomatic efforts towards a sustainable peace and reconstruction in Gaza,” said Professor Wageeh.
