Year later, Gaza ceasefire promises mostly unfulfilled

One year on from the Gaza ceasefire, hostages have been freed and rocket attacks stopped, but Israel still controls 70 per cent of Gaza and Hamas remains armed.

One year after US President Donald Trump declared the war in Gaza to be over, few of the long-term promises of the ceasefire have come to fruition.

The Long Sip
What happened

A year after the October 2025 Gaza ceasefire brokered under Trump, most of the agreement's long-term promises remain unfulfilled on both sides.

The detail

Israeli strikes have killed around 1,450 Palestinians since the ceasefire, and Israel now controls about 70 per cent of Gaza despite the deal allowing only 53 per cent.

What it means

Hamas has not disarmed despite announcing it would give up weapons, and Netanyahu, facing an election, has demanded verifiable decommissioning before Israel reciprocates.

What readers are saying

It is concerning that the US-led Board of Peace proposed a $2.45 billion recovery plan last month, yet none of the promised $10 billion in funding has actually reached Gaza for reconstruction. With Israel now controlling 70 percent of the territory instead of the agreed 53 percent, the political transition seems completely stalled.

don't expect any of that reconstruction money to move while netanyahu is in a tight election race and still hunting for individual guns. the bit about hamas keeping security control while supposedly handing over to the committee means the whole transition is just on paper.
