Israel–Gaza
Assessment
The October 2025 ceasefire under Trump's 20-point plan persists in a neither-war-nor-peace state: all hostages are home, Israel holds Gaza east of the Yellow Line, Hamas agreed in principle in August to disarm in stages but has surrendered no weapons, and International Stabilization Force contributions remain minimal. Near-daily Israeli fire continues: strikes on Sept 15 killed at least five Palestinians including an eight-year-old girl in Khan Younis, with the IDF saying it had killed Hamas commanders Nael Abu Obeid of the Rafah Brigade and Ahmad al-Batash of the Jabalia Battalion, after a Sept 13 strike in Tal al-Hawa killed two. Humanitarian conditions keep degrading, with hospital generators failing over fuel shortages as of Sept 13, a suspension of public transport announced for Sept 16, and 1.4 million people facing crisis-level hunger. Israel's Oct 27 election freezes political progress on the plan.
