Critics argue that ongoing Israeli airstrikes undermine the fragile diplomatic efforts led by the United States and the Board of Peace. By continuing to target residential areas, the military risks escalating the conflict at a moment when a roadmap for disarmament and withdrawal has been publicly proposed. Humanitarian organizations and local officials warn that these strikes exacerbate the suffering of civilians, many of whom are displaced and living in precarious conditions. There is growing concern that the lack of a formal commitment from Israel to halt attacks, despite Hamas's stated willingness to disarm, creates a cycle of violence that prevents the implementation of a lasting peace.
