Gaza, Israel and Hamas
Digest more
The Israeli military said on Wednesday that it will abide by a ceasefire accord in Gaza, as health officials in the enclave said airstrikes had killed 104 people, with both sides trading blame for violations of the deal.
This situation between all-out conflict and a comprehensive peace provides no closure: Palestinians are in constant fear of the next wave of deadly strikes, while Israel teeters perpetually on the brink of war.
Ultimately, the survivability of the much-vaunted ceasefire deal, as well as the wider, 20-point Trump peace plan for Gaza, depends heavily on the continuing engagement of the current White House.
Israel has accused Hamas of violating the ceasefire by allegedly withholding remains of hostages. Hamas has repeatedly stated that it is difficult to locate all the bodies of the hostages because many are buried under the rubble of Israeli-destroyed infrastructure.
