Israel launched a wave of attacks on Gaza after accusing Palestinian militants of attacking its forces across cease-fire lines. Both sides say they are still committed to the truce.

While speaking to reporters, President Donald Trump said that Hamas would be "eradicated" if they did not adhere to the ceasefire deal with Israel while referencing reports of violence and airstrikes by Israel in Gaza over the weekend.

Special Report' panelists discuss the efforts to enact phase two of the Gaza peace deal, the ongoing efforts to bring an end to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and more.

U.S. President Donald Trump said allies in the Middle East are enthusiastic about the idea of fighting Hamas in Gaza if it does not uphold the ceasefire agreement with Israel that he brokered under his 20-point peace plan.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Two of U.S. President Donald Trump’s envoys traveled to Israel Monday to shore up the tenuous ceasefire that’s holding in Gaza, a day after the fragile deal faced its first major flareup as Israel threatened to halt aid transfers and killed dozens in strikes after it accused Hamas of killing two soldiers.

None of this means the ceasefire is about to collapse. Even though there will no doubt be further violations, for now a mix of self-interest and American pressure should ensure that Israel and Hamas remain party to the deal.

Trey Yingst reported that it was "not good news" coming out of Israel after Hamas violated the ceasefire agreement, according to the Israeli Defense Forces.
