KCNA Commentary on Coexistence of Truce and Murder in Middle East

Date: 04/02/2025 | Source: KCNA.kp (En) | Read original version at source

Pyongyang, February 4 (KCNA) -- Killing and destruction goes on in the Middle East where the truce was declared.

Days ago, the Israeli military conducted a large-scale military operation in Jenin, a northern city of the West Bank of the Jordan River, under the pretext of "anti-terrorism", killing a large number of Palestinian refugees and destroying dwelling houses and infrastructure.

In the border area south of Lebanon, the murderers attacked villages with tanks and bulldozers, causing a hundred and tens of civilian casualties.

Under international arbitration, Israel and Hezbollah, in November last year reached a ceasefire agreement and in January this year, truce between Israel and Hamas took effect, but as seen above, Israel's massacre has not stopped.

The reckless military action which is being conducted almost daily behind the curtain of the ceasefire is making everyone doubt whether Israel has a will to restore stability and peace in the region and is escalating the concern of the international community about the fragile ceasefire.

It is also necessary to pay attention to the backstage forces that tolerate and instigate the violent breach of the truce by the Jewish state and the present situation which is neither war nor ceasefire.

The prime minister of Israel in his video statement on the cease-fire agreement with Hamas said that if they were forced to resume war, they would conduct it with powerful strength and new methods. He said that even the U.S. fully supports the possible resumption of war by Israel if the negotiations are "futile".

His remarks reminded everyone of the dark shadow of the U.S., which has repeatedly vetoed the resolutions of the UNSC demanding immediate cease-fire and shielded and encouraged the bloody massacre by arming the Israeli military with huge amount of lethal weapons.

In its statements on the cease-fire in Gaza, the U.S. has taken double-dealing attitude by positively welcoming the release of Israeli hostages while remaining silent as regards the release of Palestinian prisoners. It is still keeping silence about the wanton violation of cease-fire agreement by the Jewish state.

Some days ago, the U.S. went the length of making an unjust proposal for moving the Palestinians in Gaza Strip to Egypt and Jordan. And it is unhesitatingly blocking the fair settlement of dispute and inciting the aggravation of the situation by allowing continued offer of large bombs to Israel which had been withheld for fear of the international community's criticism.

The coexistence of cease-fire and killing can never be tolerated.

All facts clearly prove that the U.S. strategy for dominating Middle East to fish in troubled waters in the aggravated situation is unchanged just as Israel's ambition for territorial seizure to forcibly displace Palestinians and expand Jewish settlements remains unchanged.

Unless the root cause of dispute is removed, there can be no durable peace.

It is still uncertain whether the fragile cease-fire in the region would lead to permanent and durable peace.

The prospect of the implementation of the cease-fire agreement in Gaza Strip will highlight once again the true colors of the world's peace and anti-peace forces. -0-
