Gaza Ceasefire Stalls One Year On Amid Continued Israeli Strikes
One year after a United States-brokered ceasefire agreement was intended to end the war in Gaza, progress on the deal remains stalled. Israel continues to launch deadly strikes on the devastated territory, leading more than 100 non-governmental organizations to state that the ceasefire exists in name only. Israel has conditioned any further progress on the complete disarmament of Hamas. Meanwhile, the territory remains in ruins as the humanitarian crisis persists.
Why it matters
The truce was originally brokered by US President Donald Trump alongside Arab allies to halt the extensive destruction in Gaza. Despite the anniversary of the deal, ongoing military actions and a lack of political advancement have left the territory under near-daily bombardment. Aid organizations and international observers have raised severe concerns regarding the efficacy of the agreement.
