The Palestinian organization Hamas has publicly called on the 'Peace Council', which is presided over by Donald Trump, to take measures against Israel for what it terms violations of the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. Spokesman Hazem Qassem emphasized the necessity for council members to act seriously and compel Israel to stop its continued aggression in Gaza, where the ongoing conflict has resulted in severe humanitarian consequences. He described the situation as a 'genocidal war' still raging in the enclave and urged for immediate international intervention.

Amidst mutual accusations from both sides regarding breaches of the fragile ceasefire established on October 10, 2025, due to pressure from the United States, the tension remains high between Hamas and Israel. Hamas is calling for accountability, asking the Peace Council to not only address Israel's actions but also to facilitate the establishment of the National Committee for Governance of Gaza (NCAG), which would oversee temporary governance in the area.

The first assembly of the Peace Council is scheduled for Thursday in Washington, where it will likely address these escalating concerns along with other diplomatic efforts. The outcome of this meeting may significantly influence the situation in Gaza and the broader Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as regional stability remains precarious and international pressure mounts for a resolution.
