US officials received “credible reports” that Hamas may violate its cease-fire deal with Israel by attacking Palestinian civilians in Gaza, the State Department said in a post on X, that declared the Trump administration would act to stop any such violence.
“The United States has informed the guarantor nations of the Gaza peace agreement of credible reports indicating an imminent ceasefire violation by Hamas against the people of Gaza,” the social media post said late Saturday.
“This planned attack against Palestinian civilians would constitute a direct and grave violation of the ceasefire agreement and undermine the significant progress achieved through mediation efforts. The guarantors demand Hamas uphold its obligations under the ceasefire terms.”
No details were provided about the nature of the potential attack or what the violation would be.
“Should Hamas proceed with this attack, measures will be taken to protect the people of Gaza and preserve the integrity of the ceasefire,” officials continued.
Despite signing on to the peace agreement last week, Hamas has put the deal on edge with a series of public executions and the apparent refusal to disarm.
