Tensions Rise as Qatar Warns Israel Over Gaza Agreement
Qatar's Discontent and Al-Qassam's Response Threaten the Future of the Gaza Deal
Watan-Tensions have escalated in Doha and Tel Aviv after the Israeli newspaper Haaretz revealed angry messages sent by Qatar to Israel, expressing deep dissatisfaction with the way Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government has handled the Gaza agreement, particularly the second phase of the negotiations.
These messages came after a series of provocative statements by Netanyahu regarding the displacement of Palestinians and his obstruction of preparations for the next phase of the agreement, which even threatened the full implementation of the first phase.
Warning Messages from Qatar to Israel
According to an Israeli source quoted by Haaretz, Qatar sent repeated warnings to Tel Aviv, reminding it that the agreement involves not only Israel and Hamas, but also Doha as a key guarantor for its implementation. The Qatari messages emphasized that Israeli actions, particularly Netanyahu‘s statements, jeopardize the continued release of Israeli prisoners, thus endangering the entire agreement.
Netanyahu Under International Criticism
The angry messages from Qatar were not limited to Tel Aviv but also reached Washington, although it is unclear how the Trump administration, considered a main supporter of Netanyahu’s government, will respond. However, it is certain that international pressure is mounting on Israel due to its delays in fulfilling its obligations under the agreement, increasing the likelihood of its complete collapse.
Al-Qassam’s Response: A Major Blow to Tel Aviv
Coinciding with the revelation of the Qatari messages, Abu Obaida, the military spokesperson for the Al-Qassam Brigades, announced the postponement of the next batch of Israeli prisoners’ release until further notice, citing Israel’s repeated violations of the agreement. This step was a clear warning to Israel that the resistance will not continue to implement the agreement without mutual commitment.
The Gaza Agreement at Risk: Will It Collapse?
With Israel continuing to violate the terms of the agreement and refusing to fulfill its obligations, it seems that the Gaza agreement is on the brink of collapse, especially with Qatar’s growing anger and the Palestinian resistance threatening to halt further implementation. The coming days will be crucial in determining the fate of the agreement. Will Netanyahu continue to escalate, or will he yield to international pressure and restore the situation?
