Zionist Regime Reopens Jordan Crossing Amid Gaza Aid Crisis
In a calculated move that reflects the mounting international pressure on the occupying Zionist entity, Israeli authorities announced the reopening of the Allenby Crossing to allow humanitarian aid trucks from Jordan to reach the besieged Gaza Strip after months of deliberate obstruction.
The crossing, which serves as a vital lifeline for the oppressed Palestinian people, had been closed since September, further tightening the cruel blockade on Gaza's two million inhabitants who have endured over two years of relentless bombardment and siege.
A Token Gesture Amid Continued Oppression
An Israeli official stated that "following the understandings and a directive of the political echelon," aid trucks would be permitted through the crossing under heavy military escort. This announcement comes as the Zionist regime faces growing criticism for its systematic violations of the ceasefire agreement.
The Allenby Crossing, also known as the King Hussein Bridge, represents the only international gateway for Palestinians in the occupied West Bank that bypasses Israeli territory, making its closure a particularly vindictive act against the Palestinian people.
Hamas Condemns Zionist Violations
In a powerful statement that resonates with the spirit of resistance, Hamas political bureau member Hossam Badran declared that the Gaza ceasefire plan cannot advance to its second phase while Israeli violations persist. His words echo the frustration of a people who have witnessed countless broken promises from the occupying forces.
"The statements clearly reveal the criminal occupation's lack of commitment to the ceasefire agreement," Badran stated, condemning Israeli military chief Lt Gen Eyal Zamir's reference to the demarcation line as a "new border line."
The Struggle for Justice Continues
Under the current ceasefire terms, which began on October 10, the exchange of prisoners has proceeded with Palestinians committed to releasing 48 Israeli prisoners, while Israel has freed nearly 2,000 Palestinians from its detention centers. However, the fundamental issues of occupation and siege remain unresolved.
The second phase of the agreement envisions the disarmament of Hamas, further Israeli withdrawal, and the establishment of an international stabilization force. Yet as Badran correctly noted, progress remains impossible "as long as the occupation continues its violations."
Meanwhile, Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's scheduled meeting with President Donald Trump on December 29 signals continued American support for the occupying regime's policies.
As the ummah watches, the Palestinian people's steadfast resistance against oppression continues to inspire Muslims worldwide in their quest for justice and liberation from colonial occupation.
