Gaza Agreement One Year Later: Ceasefire Fragile, Hamas Not Disarmed

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents Gaza Agreement One Year Later: Ceasefire Fragile, Hamas Not Disarmed.

A year has passed since the guns were supposed to fall silent in the Gaza war. The agreement has been in force since October 2025 — yet the scorecard is sobering. As Handelsblatt notes in its analysis, the ceasefire is fragile, Hamas has still not been disarmed, and the people on the ground continue to wait for a sliver of normality.

What the ceasefire promised

The agreement was meant to put an end to the suffering. Since October 2025, the guns in the Gaza war were supposed to fall silent — that was the central pledge between Israel and Hamas. For the civilian population, the ceasefire was above all one thing: the hope of normality.

The reality one year on

But one year after the ceasefire began, the picture is split. The agreement formally remains in force — yet Israeli attacks continue to occur, as Handelsblatt reports. On top of that, Hamas has still not been disarmed. That leaves one of the central conditions of the agreement unfulfilled.

The longing for normality

The people on the ground long for normality, Handelsblatt writes. That longing stands in stark contrast to the reality: a ceasefire in which the guns do not fall silent and central pledges remain unfulfilled.

What remains on the anniversary

The ceasefire in the Gaza war is turning one year old — and it has stayed fragile. Hamas is not disarmed, attacks continue, and the civilian population keeps waiting for what was promised at the start.
