Trump Urges Israeli Autonomy as Ceasefire Talks Falter Amid Rising Gaza Death Toll

Former U.S. President Donald Trump weighed in on the escalating conflict in Gaza, stating that Israel must make its own decisions as ceasefire negotiations collapsed once again. His remarks come amid mounting international pressure to end the violence, which has led to a rapidly rising death toll in Gaza.

The latest round of ceasefire talks, mediated by regional and international actors, failed to produce a breakthrough, leaving hopes for a truce in tatters. As airstrikes and ground operations continue, humanitarian agencies report worsening conditions for civilians trapped in the besieged enclave.

Trump, known for his staunch support of Israel during his presidency, emphasized national sovereignty in his comments: “Israel has to do what it thinks is right for its security and future. It’s not up to anyone else to dictate terms.”

Critics argue that such statements risk undermining diplomatic efforts and embolden hardline positions. Meanwhile, calls for restraint and renewed negotiations grow louder from global leaders and human rights organizations.

With no clear path to peace, the region remains on edge, and the international community faces increasing urgency to broker a resolution before the humanitarian crisis deepens further.
