Israel appears determined to continue its military campaign in Gaza, despite growing international pressure to end the war and address the worsening humanitarian crisis. Recent ceasefire negotiations collapsed after Israeli and U.S. delegations withdrew from talks in Qatar, accusing Hamas of refusing to compromise.
Rather than seeking new diplomatic solutions, Israeli leaders have vowed to escalate operations. The aim remains the complete destruction of Hamas — a goal critics say is being used to justify ongoing attacks on civilians, mass displacement, and what human rights organizations increasingly describe as genocide.
President Donald Trump has publicly backed Israel’s approach. In a recent interview, Trump encouraged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “finish the job,” urging a full military offensive and dismissing further negotiations. He echoed Israeli claims that Hamas "doesn't want peace" and even said Hamas "wants to die," offering a green light for more aggressive action.
Meanwhile, Gaza is facing a catastrophe. Over 30,000 Palestinians have already been killed, including thousands of children. Starvation is spreading, hospitals are collapsing, and entire neighborhoods have been flattened. Trump’s endorsement of continued war signals a dangerous shift toward normalizing mass civilian suffering for political ends.
Observers warn that without international intervention, the conflict could spiral further into a prolonged, deadly occupation with devastating consequences for generations of Palestinians.
