Every ceasefire in Gaza raises hope that violence will stop, yet time after time the truce collapses within hours or days. Israel often claims that Hamas violated the ceasefire, but analysts, humanitarian groups, and independent observers reject this explanation because no credible evidence is provided. The rapid, coordinated Israeli airstrikes that follow are clearly prepared in advance.
To understand this pattern, we must examine why ceasefires fail, how pretexts are created, how Abraham Accord states respond, why the United States stays silent, and what this means for the future of regional peace.
Why Ceasefires in Gaza Always Fail
Unequal Power Structure
Ceasefires collapse because they are built on a one sided power imbalance. Israel treats every truce as a tactical pause to reorganize military operations, not a humanitarian commitment. With no neutral monitoring, no enforcement, and no accountability, Israel faces no consequences for breaking a ceasefire.
No Protection for Gaza
Gaza has no air defense system and no international mechanism that guarantees safety. Even an unverified allegation becomes justification for large scale attacks. When one side has overwhelming power and the other has none, ceasefires become temporary pauses rather than real protections.
How Israel Uses Alleged Violations as Pretexts
A Predictable Pattern
Israel routinely restarts operations by claiming that Hamas violated the ceasefire. The sequence rarely changes:
• A ceasefire is announced
• International attention shifts to humanitarian aid
• Israel issues an unverified allegation such as a rocket launch or sniper fire
• No independent evidence is provided
• Heavy airstrikes begin within minutes
The speed and coordination of these strikes show that they were prepared long before the allegation. This allows Israel to frame pre planned attacks as self defense while civilians are killed under an active truce.
This Is Not About Clauses, It Is About Civilians Killed During a Ceasefire
Collapse of a Truce
The issue is not diplomatic wording. It is the reality that civilians are killed during what was advertised as a temporary pause in hostilities. Even if a minor incident occurs, the correct response is verification and mediation, not immediate large scale bombings.
A ceasefire that fails to protect people is not a ceasefire. Once civilians die, the truce has collapsed regardless of political language.
How the Abraham Accord States React During Ceasefire Violations
Public Condemnation
Arab states that signed the Abraham Accords follow a dual strategy. They publicly condemn Israeli aggression because their populations demand solidarity with Palestine.
Private Cooperation
Privately, these states maintain economic and security ties with Israel because their political relationships with Washington depend on it. They may delay events or soften engagements, but they do not withdraw from the accords.
United States Silence
The United States, despite promoting itself as the architect of Middle East peace, rarely offers meaningful condemnation. It continues to present the Abraham Accords as a diplomatic achievement while avoiding criticism when ceasefires collapse and civilians die.
This creates a consistent pattern: Arab states issue public statements, while the United States — the self declared mediator — remains silent.
What This Means for Future Regional Peace
A Framework Without Justice
The repeated collapse of ceasefires shows that a peace structure that ignores Palestinian rights cannot produce stability. The Abraham Accords focus on political and economic interests while the core conflict remains unresolved.
A ceasefire that allows bombings is not a ceasefire.
A peace agreement that excludes the victims cannot produce peace.
As long as violations carry no consequences, ceasefires will continue to fail and civilians will remain at risk.
Conclusion
A peace built on silence and selective diplomacy cannot stand. Israel violates ceasefires because it knows it can. The United States tolerates these actions because silence has no political cost. Arab states condemn publicly but remain tied to strategic calculations behind closed doors. Palestinians pay the price.
Peace without justice is not peace.
Ceasefire without protection is not ceasefire.
Silence in the face of violations is complicity.
A stable future will only come when violations are confronted with accountability, not excuses.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Why do ceasefires in Gaza collapse so quickly?
Because there is no monitoring, no enforcement, and no accountability. Israel holds overwhelming power and faces no consequences for breaking a truce.
Q2: Does Israel provide proof when it claims Hamas violated the ceasefire?
Rarely. Most allegations are unverified, and the rapid airstrikes that follow show the attacks were already planned.
Q3: Do Abraham Accord states support Israel during violations?
Publicly they condemn Israel, but privately they maintain cooperation due to strategic ties with Washington.
Q4: Why does the United States remain silent after ceasefire violations?
Because Israel is its strongest regional ally, and condemning violations carries political costs the United States avoids.
Q5: Can real peace come from the Abraham Accords?
Not unless Palestinians are included and ceasefire violations carry real consequences.
