A year of ceasefire in Gaza through the lens of NPR's reporter

One year after a United States-brokered ceasefire agreement took effect, aid groups and residents report that the truce exists in name only amid near-daily Israeli strikes. The deal, which followed the release of remaining Israeli hostages by Hamas and a pledge by President Donald Trump to end the war, has fallen short of its long-term promises. No international peacekeeping force has arrived, and reconstruction has not begun. Meanwhile, Israeli military control has expanded to roughly 70 percent of the territory, squeezing more than 2 million Palestinians near the sea.

  1. Gaza Ceasefire Stalls One Year On As Israeli Strikes Persist

    One year after a United States-brokered ceasefire agreement took effect, aid groups and residents report that the truce exists in name only amid near-daily Israeli strikes. The deal, which followed the release of remaining Israeli hostages by Hamas and a pledge by President Donald Trump to end the war, has fallen short of its long-term promises. No international peacekeeping force has arrived, and reconstruction has not begun. Meanwhile, Israeli military control has expanded to roughly 70 percent of the territory, squeezing more than 2 million Palestinians near the sea.

    Why it matters

    Israel and Hamas agreed to the truce on October 10, 2025, raising hopes for a permanent end to the conflict. However, Israel has conditioned further progress on the complete disarmament of Hamas, halting diplomatic advancement. Despite the declared ceasefire, Israeli military operations continue and have killed over 1,400 Palestinians during the past year. And Israel continues to bar foreign journalists from entering Gaza independently.

    What is confirmed

    • A US-brokered ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas came into effect on October 10, 2025.
    • Israeli military control has expanded to roughly 70 percent of the Gaza Strip.
    • Israel bars foreign journalists from entering Gaza independently.
    • Airstrikes have continued, killing over 1,400 Palestinians during the year of the ceasefire.

    Still unconfirmed

    • Israel has tied any progress on reconstruction and other issues to the complete disarmament of Hamas.

    What to watch next

    • Any potential changes to Israel's demand for Hamas' complete disarmament before advancing truce terms
    • Deployment of any international peacekeeping forces to the Gaza Strip
    • Shifts in United States or regional mediation efforts following the one-year anniversary
