POLICY WIRE — Gaza City, Palestine — A year after a U.S.-brokered ceasefire aimed to end the conflict in Gaza, little progress has been made. The agreement, which halted major military operations and freed all remaining hostages, has not delivered on key promises such as a new Palestinian administration, Hamas disarmament, or an end to Israeli control over significant portions of the territory.

The truce has left Gaza’s 2 million residents in limbo, with many living in makeshift shelters, rodent-infested tent camps, or damaged buildings at risk of collapse. Despite initial optimism, the situation remains dire, with no clear path to reconstruction or stability.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has hardened his stance, rejecting a Trump-backed plan for Hamas’ disarmament and insisting on continued military operations until all threats are neutralized. Meanwhile, Hamas maintains its grip on power, and international efforts to establish a stabilization force have stalled.
