Another U.S.-brokered ceasefire has been shattered by Israeli airstrikes that killed at least 24 Palestinians, including families who believed they finally had a moment of safety. These repeated violations are not accidents, misunderstandings, or “security measures.” They are part of a consistent pattern in which ceasefires are announced to appease international pressure, only to be broken within days — always with Palestinian civilians paying the price.
The United States cannot continue playing the role of mediator while enabling the very violence it claims to restrain. Billions in military aid, diplomatic protection at the United Nations, and silence from Congress create the conditions in which ceasefire violations carry no consequences.
If American leaders are serious about peace, they must do more than issue statements of “concern.” They must demand immediate accountability, suspend military support used in these strikes, and insist on a sustained, verifiable ceasefire monitored by independent international observers.
Every day of delay means more lives lost. The American people deserve honesty; Palestinians deserve the right to live without fear of the next broken promise.
