Qatar (Washington Insider) - Qatar’s PM Sheikh Mohammed warned Gaza ceasefire risks collapse after 738 Israeli violations, 394 deaths, 1,075+ injuries; infants die from hypothermia; US, Netanyahu, Hamas, Red Saad involved.
As Samaa News reported, Qatar’s Prime Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, has warned that the Gaza ceasefire is at risk. He said repeated Israeli violations are threatening the entire agreement. Speaking in Washington, D.C., after talks with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Sheikh Mohammed called for urgent action to move the truce forward.
Since the ceasefire started on October 10, 2025, Israel has reportedly broken it 738 times, causing 394 Palestinian deaths and more than 1,075 injuries, according to Al Jazeera. He said these violations make it hard for mediators to maintain the peace.
Sheikh Mohammed also mentioned the recent killing of senior Hamas commander Red Saad in Gaza City, saying it has increased tensions. He warned that without immediate measures, the ceasefire could collapse, putting the region in danger.
What threats are facing the Gaza ceasefire amid the humanitarian crisis?
During the 7th U.S.-Qatar Strategic Dialogue, Sheikh Mohammed focused on 3 main issues. He urged strict enforcement of the ceasefire and asked the United States to pressure Israel to stop its repeated violations. He proposed an International Stabilisation Force to monitor the truce, including possible troops from Indonesia and Turkey, although Israel opposes Turkish involvement.
He also highlighted the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Sheikh Mohammed said aid must reach civilians without restrictions. He called for urgent delivery of food, medical supplies, and other essential support to people facing shortages.
Gaza is facing a severe humanitarian crisis as winter storms hit the densely populated enclave. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are sheltering in fragile tents or buildings damaged by previous attacks. Aid deliveries are heavily restricted, with only 39% of trucks carrying supplies reaching their destinations.
Israel has once again denied the entry of food products of all types, as prohibited by the laws of war and international law, while permitting shipments of paper, pens, sandals, and other commercial/non-essential items to enter the Gaza Strip.
According to Asad Abedin, a 29-day-old infant was found dead from extreme hypothermia in Khan Younis, increasing the winter toll to 13 deaths since the onset of winter. Earlier this week, a 2-week-old baby, Mohammed Khalil Abu al-Khair, died from hypothermia as well.
Hamas leader, Khalil al-Hayya, stated that the continuing pattern of violations by Israel endangers, and in his view could invalidate, the validity of their accord with Israel, and called on President Trump to hold the Israeli government and its leaders responsible.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended the killing of Senior Hamas Commander Red Saad, claiming that Hamas is attempting to re-arm and disrupt any peace process. Netanyahu was speaking at the time of the 2nd Phase of the U.S.-sponsored ceasefire, which states that Hamas will need to disarm, Israeli Forces will withdraw, and an international stabilisation force will come in to continue the peace. The 1st Phase mainly consisted of the exchange of prisoners and captives, including hundreds of Palestinian Bodies returned, most with signs of torture or execution.
