Israel’s repeated ceasefire violations prove it has no desire for peace; accountability is the only path to justice

Americans for Justice in Palestine Action (AJP Action) strongly condemns, in the strongest possible terms, Israel’s blatant violation of the Gaza ceasefire agreement brokered by the Trump Administration, together with Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey.

In just two days, and less than three weeks after the ceasefire took effect, Israel’s resumed bombardment has killed more than 104 Palestinian civilians. From the very first day of the ceasefire, Israel has sought pretexts to evade its commitments and to continue its genocidal campaign against Gaza, a campaign that has raged for more than two years, leaving hundreds of thousands dead or wounded and the Gaza Strip almost entirely destroyed. 

AJP Action calls on the Trump Administration to hold Israel accountable to the terms of the agreement and to stop offering excuses for its repeated violations. Over the past three weeks, and every other time a ceasefire has been declared, Israel has undermined the deal daily by restricting humanitarian aid to a mere fraction of what was agreed and carrying out continuous killings of Palestinians under fabricated justifications. These systematic violations have rendered the ceasefire effectively meaningless and continue to expose Israel’s utter disregard for Palestinian human life and international law. 

Washington has been complicit in a brutal war of extermination against the people of Gaza since its start in October 2023. This disgraceful complicity and enablement must end. Selective humanity is a moral stain on all who practice it. Beneath Gaza’s rubble lie not only a handful of Israeli prisoners but also thousands of Palestinians killed by Israel’s relentless assaults. Each of those victims deserves to be recovered and laid to rest with dignity. Gaza urgently needs heavy equipment and international recovery teams to carry out this humanitarian task, an effort that Israel continues to obstruct.

The United States must cease acting as Israel’s apologist and enabler. Together with the other ceasefire guarantors (Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey) and the broader international community, the U.S. must take immediate action to halt Israel’s ongoing crimes, enforce the ceasefire, ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid, begin reconstruction, and uphold the Palestinian people’s right to determine their own future free from coercion or foreign dictates.
