A year after Hamas freed the last Israeli hostages and former President Trump declared an end to the conflict, Palestinians report that the fighting has continued unabated, undermining the promise of lasting peace. Despite official statements framing the period as a ceasefire, ground operations and airstrikes persist, leaving civilians caught in ongoing violence. The gap between political rhetoric and reality on the ground raises questions about whether either side is truly committed to halting hostilities. With no clear end in sight, the humanitarian toll and regional instability remain pressing concerns.
It has been one year since Hamas released the remaining Israeli hostages and President Trump promised an end to the war, but Palestinians say the past 12 months have been a ceasefire in name only.
