The Byron storm worsens the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, causing child deaths from cold in precarious shelters and risk of flooding. Israel blocks construction materials and continues with bombings. The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is uncertain. Trump seeks international success. Discussions are held on disarming Hamas and rebuilding Gaza, with the United States asking Israel to pay for debris removal.
The UN resolution for Gaza, approved with the Trump Plan, has not changed the situation on the ground. The ceasefire is fragile, Hamas remains armed and reconstruction is distant. The reality in Gaza is difficult: lack of physical progress, violence and insufficient humanitarian aid. The resolution proposes a transnational government to disarm Hamas and ensure reconstruction, but obstacles persist such as Hamas’s rejection and Israel’s stance against an independent Palestinian state.
Israeli airstrikes in Gaza put the fragile truce at risk, with continuous attacks and ceasefire violations, increasing casualties and damage, and generating fear of new battles. Israel accuses Hamas of provocations, while Hamas denounces Israeli violations. The United States minimizes the risk of escalation. Tensions persist over the release of hostages. The economic and humanitarian situation worsens. Peace in the Middle East teeters between accusations and lack of progress. Uncertainty about the future of Gaza and the continuation of the truce prevails.
Two years ago, Hamas attacked Israel, changing the region: Israel won battles but lost image; a peace agreement is possible after two years of war, although both sides are reluctant. Israel is in a constant state of war and Hamas is fighting for its political survival. The United States is a key partner in the conflict.
Trump and Netanyahu present a 20-point peace plan for Gaza, urging Hamas to release hostages and end the conflict. The plan includes an immediate ceasefire, release of hostages, humanitarian aid, disarmament of Hamas, and a transition of government in Gaza supervised by an international authority. Netanyahu accepts the plan, subject to approval by Israel and Hamas, and Trump supports stabilization with an international force in Gaza. However, Hamas claims not to have received the plan and there are internal tensions in Israel over the agreement.
