WASHINGTON – The United States has issued a fiery, no-holds-barred warning that volatile settler activities in the West Bank are pushing the fragile Gaza ceasefire to the brink—and Washington is ready to step in.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered the stark ultimatum yesterday, declaring the White House will not stand by and watch peace collapse.
“Concerns about settlers activities in West Bank could undermine ceasefire in Gaza, and we are not going to allow that,” Rubio said in a dramatic public statement.
The chilling warning comes as the tentative truce between Israel and Hamas hangs by a thread following weeks of devastating conflict.
Sources close to the diplomatic crisis say the US fears that increased violence and controversial land seizures by hardline settlers are adding dangerous fuel to an already explosive situation.
Rubio’s blunt language signals a major escalation in US involvement, shifting focus from merely brokering the Gaza deal to actively policing the wider territory.
The message is clear: any continued provocation in the West Bank will be met with the full diplomatic force of the United States.
Experts warn that if the West Bank tensions spiral out of control, the already devastating conflict could spread far beyond the Gaza strip, plunging the entire region into a fresh bloodbath.
The US Secretary’s vow—”we are not going to allow that”—is being interpreted as a powerful commitment to deploy every tool at Washington’s disposal to keep the peace deal alive.
