WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The U.S. State Department said Saturday that it has “credible reports” that Hamas could violate the ceasefire with an attack on Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

If the attack takes place, it “would constitute a direct and grave violation” of the agreement forged by President Donald Trump to end the two-year war between Israel and Hamas, the statement said.

No further details were disclosed about the potential attack.

”Should Hamas proceed with this attack, measures will be taken to protect the people of Gaza and preserve the integrity of the ceasefire,” the State Department said.

1. The problem here is no one involved is trustworthy. They are all capable of lying.

Hamas is crazy and are zealots enough to kill their own Palestinian civilians. They knew there would be a massive backlash from Israel for their October sixth murderous attacks, but did not care.

But BeBe Nutanyahoo is fully capable for pulling some sort of false flag attack and blaming Hamas. Genocide much?

And finally, Our own State department under Little Marco and the orange menace is a total sham now.

I am not sure who is the least trustworthy...

2. The State Department has "Credible reports"?

"In July, Trump's State Dept. fired over 1300 State Department employees" (July 11, 2025 AP)

"Eight months into Trump's second term, more than half of U.S. ambassadorships, an unusually high amount, are vacant."
(POLITICO 9/21/2025)

Does Secretary of State Marco Rubio even have any credible people left who might have proof of "credible reports" about anything?

3. I guess Trump's thousand year peace

Was but a dream.

4. They are planning to attack Gaza

and are building a rationale to sell to the public.

Period.

5. Cease fire lasted long enough for trump to have his photo op

for Nobel Peace Medal. That is what this is about, he could care less about either party if there was no peace medal in it for him.
