According to information compiled by the Government Media Office in Gaza and reported by Al Jazeera, the Israeli military has repeatedly violated the ceasefire that was imposed on Palestinians by the Zionist state in collaboration with the government of President Donald Trump.

The Al Jazeera report says that between October 10 and November 10, Israel breached the agreement at least 282 times, resulting in the death of 242 Palestinians and the wounding of 622.

Through ongoing sustained military offensives and occupation actions, Israel has criminally violated the terms of the ceasefire.

The Gaza Media Office figures show that Trump’s so-called “peace plan” amounts to a continuation of the campaign of violence and repression that began in October 2023 at the outset of the genocide. Cloaked in the language of “security” and “counter-terrorism,” the ongoing targeted assassinations and airstrikes have repeatedly hit civilian Palestinian infrastructure and humanitarian zones, obliterating homes, schools and medical facilities.

Israeli forces have continued to directly target those attempting to deliver and receive humanitarian aid, further deepening the starvation and misery of Palestinians. Despite promises to allow up to 600 aid trucks daily, actual deliveries have fallen far short, a shortage compounded by Israeli announcements to further limit or halt distribution entirely.

The overall death toll continues to mount with Gaza’s Ministry of Health now reporting over 69,000 Palestinian dead and tens of thousands more injured, with many bodies still trapped under debris. These figures alone expose any talk of “peace” as a cynical cover for ongoing atrocities.

Following Trump’s high-profile Gaza “peace plan,” Israel has escalated its military operations under the banner of restoring order but in reality, orchestrated new massacres. Al Jazeera has detailed several of these episodes, including the deadliest day so far, when Israeli attacks killed 45 Palestinians in a series of coordinated strikes shortly after the ceasefire was proclaimed.

The “peace” process coincided with the annexation and permanent occupation of vast sectors of Gaza, while regular killings continued in full view of the world’s population. So blatant are the violations that the Trump-backed plan has been quickly exposed as an instrument for Israel to consolidate its control, with every subsequent action—mass killings, forced displacement, starvation—carried out under its aegis.

Israel Defense Forces Chief of the General Staff Lieutenant-General Eyal Zamir has openly declared the army’s intention to take control of further areas within Gaza, regardless of the red or yellow lines stipulated in the ceasefire plan. “Our troops continue operating along the Yellow Line to clear the area and eliminate terrorist strongholds,” Zamir stated, making explicit that the military “must be prepared to take control” beyond any established perimeter.

Zamir’s public statements show that the Israeli military build-up in Gaza is continuing and that further advances are being prepared, intensifying the ethnic cleansing operation against Palestinians.

Israeli officials anticipate that control will soon extend into all of Rafah, Khan Younis and significant portions north of Gaza City, with 75 percent of the territory coming under IDF rule. These policies were put forward as nonnegotiable, placing the continued presence of Israeli troops at the heart of the new Gaza order.

Meanwhile, since the Gaza ceasefire on October 10, violence against Palestinians in the West Bank has surged with frequent raids, shootings, demolitions and settler attacks. The United Nations recorded over 260 settler incidents in October alone, the highest monthly total since record-keeping began in 2006.

Israeli settlers have assaulted Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest, destroyed crops, burned homes and physically attacked residents, often with the acquiescence or collaboration of Israeli security forces. Israeli military operations have included ground raids in cities like Jenin and Tulkarm, resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries, including children, and thousands of Palestinians have been arrested or forcibly displaced since October. These attacks have caused immense suffering and displacement amid an environment of ongoing militarization and settlement expansion.

This violence is part of increasing aggression across the West Bank, with nearly every governorate witnessing incursions, clashes and settler violence that contribute to what has been described as “slow-motion ethnic cleansing.” Palestinian communities face systematic deprivation, loss of homes and restricted access to essential resources, while Israel pursues legislative and military measures to consolidate control over the territory.

Along with the Gaza ceasefire violations, Zionist attacks in the West Bank are a focal point of the Israeli plan to use widespread violence and human rights violations to continue the brutal campaign against Palestinians across both occupied territories.

In Gaza, the conditions for displaced Palestinians have deteriorated catastrophically with the onset of winter. Heavy rains and flooding have swept through makeshift refugee camps, many of which were already critically overcrowded and undersupplied.

According to multiple sources, the flooded camps have left thousands without proper shelter, electricity or sanitation, massively increasing the risk of disease and exposure-related fatalities.

UN agencies and independent reports confirm that acute malnutrition is widespread, especially among children, with an estimated 55,000 facing life-threatening hunger and more than 16 percent of surveyed children already “wasting” due to insufficient food and shelter.

The destruction or severe damage to over 94 percent of the enclave’s hospitals has rendered it impossible to care for the sick and wounded. Each passing rainstorm becomes a new disaster for hundreds of thousands of already homeless people, besieged from all sides.

The Trump administration, while seeking to push forward with the Gaza reconstruction, is continuing to back Israel over its insistence that the “disarming of Hamas” must be completed before any rebuilding efforts proceed. US sources suggest plans to move forward with investments before Hamas relinquishes control or is fully disarmed, a position that Israel officially rejects as a security risk and as legitimizing to Palestinian resistance.

Whatever the dispute over priorities, everything currently being done is intensifying the dire conditions of the population and attacking their basic dignity and rights. US policy supports the division and further militarization of Gaza under the pretense of reconstruction, with no commitment to lifting the siege or recognizing Palestinian sovereignty.

The “rebuilding” process is being weaponized as the means to enforce a new political order in Gaza, where Palestinians are denied any genuine representation or participation.

In a scheme reminiscent of the US occupation of Iraq and as the ceasefire falls to pieces, the Guardian has reported on American proposals to cordon off parts of Gaza with a “green zone” patrolled jointly by Israeli and international troops. The aim is to further isolate Palestinians, protect Israel’s military outposts and ensure the ongoing displacement and fragmentation of Gaza’s people.

Whether presented as “security” or “stabilization,” the plan would mean in reality the indefinite presence of foreign and Israeli soldiers, compound the siege and block the return of Palestinians to their homes.

International security forces would serve to legitimize Israeli military expansion and shield it from criticism, even as Israeli authorities are pressing for the UN Security Council to drop any discussion of Palestinian statehood. Like the ceasefire plan, the green zone proposal has nothing to do with ending the genocide, instead threatening to create a permanent garrison state amid the ruins of Gaza.

According to the most recent data from the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, the Palestinian death toll now surpasses 69,000, with tens of thousands wounded and countless more unaccounted for in the rubble. The scale of the destruction of the population with neighborhoods erased and critical infrastructure in ruins confirms that Trump’s peace plan has functioned as carte blanche for continuing relentless violence and expansion under the cover of an “agreement.”

The developments since the US-brokered peace plan have fully vindicated the analysis advanced by the World Socialist Web Site. Rather than halting bloodshed, the deal has provided cover for Israel to accelerate and deepen its annexation, using each incident of violence to justify further offensives. The “ceasefire” is, in practice, a one-sided deal that permits Israel to strike at will, subjecting entire populations to collective punishment under the fiction of law and order.

The peace plan’s real content has been the legitimization of occupation and genocide, shutting down any path to self-determination for the Palestinian people. As the World Socialist Web Site warned, any plan forged by US imperialism, in alliance with the Zionist state, will be nothing but a rebranding of genocide and ethnic cleansing. In short, the ceasefire and peace plan form a new stage in the decades-long attempt to erase the Palestinian people from Gaza and the West Bank.

The events of the past month—massacres, aid blockade, ongoing occupation, military expansion and the trampling of Palestinian sovereignty—have confirmed these warnings.
