Jerusalem/Gaza: Despite agreeing to U.S. President Trump’s 20-point peace plan, Israel has taken a new hardline stance by preventing Palestinians from returning to their homes in Gaza.
According to international media reports, the Israeli army has issued a new Arabic-language warning, cautioning Palestinians that returning to Gaza City could be “extremely dangerous.” The statement further threatened that airstrikes and ground operations would continue in the area, with civilians at risk of being targeted.
The army also announced that the Rashid Route, a specific corridor from northern to southern Gaza, would remain open for relocation. However, ground reports confirm that Israeli tanks have blocked central roads, trapping those who had fled earlier and preventing their return.
Analysts say this move directly contradicts the peace initiative’s humanitarian clauses, which called for a ceasefire and safe civilian return. Despite President Trump’s clear directive to halt attacks, Israeli air and ground assaults persist, with at least 7 Palestinians killed and dozens injured in recent strikes on refugee camps. Over 20 homes have been destroyed, further worsening the humanitarian crisis.
