A fragile truce on the brink of collapse: The Gaza ceasefire teeters on the edge of disaster as Qatar and Turkey sound the alarm.
In a stark warning, Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani has stated that the current ceasefire in Gaza is merely a "pause" in hostilities, rather than a genuine cessation of violence. This assessment echoes Turkiye's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, who urged US officials to intervene urgently to prevent the peace process from stalling entirely.
The situation on the ground remains dire, with Israel continuing its genocidal war on Gaza, resulting in over 600 ceasefire violations in just seven weeks. Meanwhile, three Palestinians were killed in an Israeli attack in Beit Lahiya, adding to the mounting death toll of at least 360 Palestinians since the October 10 ceasefire began.
The international community is growing increasingly concerned about the lack of progress towards a permanent peace deal. Norway's Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide insisted that an international stabilisation force and peace council must be formed this month, citing sequencing ambiguities in the Trump administration's plan as a major obstacle to progress.
Egypt's Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty echoed these concerns, proposing the deployment of the international force along Gaza's "yellow line" immediately to verify ceasefire compliance. However, Israel's government remains opposed to the idea, with Prime Minister Netanyahu reportedly saying he doesn't want Turkish troops in Gaza.
As winter approaches, Palestinians are facing a growing humanitarian crisis, with many lacking shelter following what Egypt's Foreign Minister called Israel's "systematic destruction" of the territory. The situation is further complicated by Israel's plan to open the Rafah border crossing exclusively for Palestinian departures, which eight Muslim-majority nations have condemned as a breach of the US-brokered peace plan.
The international community risks repeating familiar cycles of violence if it fails to address the core of the conflict, warns Saudi Arabia's minister plenipotentiary Manal Radwan. The ceasefire's second phase, calling for an international stabilisation force and other key measures, has yet to begin, and time is running out to prevent a catastrophic collapse of the fragile truce.
As tensions continue to escalate, it remains to be seen whether the international community will come together to support a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Gaza. One thing is certain: the situation on the ground is dire, and urgent action is needed to prevent a humanitarian disaster and a repeat of the cycle of violence that has haunted the region for decades.

I'm really worried about what's happening in Gaza, it's like they're running out of time over there 
. The ceasefire is just a pause, not a real break from fighting 
. Israel's actions are just brutal and inhumane, like they don't care about the innocent civilians caught in the middle 
. I remember when I was a kid, we had peace protests and stuff back home, but it was all so peaceful and respectful 
. Nowadays, it seems like everyone's just fighting and nobody's listening 
. Norway should really get involved with their proposal for an international stabilisation force 
. We can't just sit back and watch as people suffer 
. It's time for the international community to step in and put a stop to all this violence 
.
that's sickening. why no international action to stop it yet? 
and what about the humanitarian crisis on the ground, where many Palestinians are left without shelter after Israel's "systematic destruction"? 
time is running out for a peaceful resolution... needs urgent attention from the global community 
this is getting so scary I don't know how much more of this we can take 600 ceasefire violations in just 7 weeks is insane who's gonna be next? 
what's the point of even having a truce if it's just gonna collapse anyway?
.
. i feel like we're just delaying the inevitable. 600 ceasefire violations in 7 weeks? 360 Palestinians dead since october? it's heartbreaking 
. i'm worried we're gonna see another wave of violence soon, and the world just doesn't care 
. time is running out, and if we don't do something, it's gonna be a catastrophe
