Year later, Gaza ceasefire promises mostly unfulfilled

A year has passed since U.S. President Donald Trump declared the Gaza conflict to be over, yet many of the long-term agreements from the ceasefire remain unmet. Here are some of the key components of the October 10, 2025 truce and their current status:

On the same day as the agreement, Hamas released the 20 hostages they had taken during their October 7, 2023 assault, which was Israel's deadliest day in history. This release was a major Israeli demand, and the captives' return coincided with the ceasefire's one-year anniversary.

Additionally, Israel has observed a period of relative peace in the region, with no rocket launches from Gaza since the truce began. This lull can be attributed to Hamas' depleted missile arsenal, which was largely destroyed by Israel's relentless bombardment.

The United States established a military command center in proximity to the Gaza border, alongside foreign partners, to oversee the truce's implementation. However, despite the reduction in Israeli strikes, the country has continued to launch attacks on Gaza almost daily. The ongoing Palestinian territory damage from these strikes has resulted in numerous casualties.
