As 2025 draws to a close, the Gaza ceasefire brokered by former U.S. President Donald Trump on October 10 remains a polarizing topic. Hailed by some as a diplomatic triumph, critics warn it risks becoming a temporary Band-Aid on a deepening humanitarian crisis. 🔥 Here’s what you need to know:
The Deal That Shook the World
Trump’s 20-point Gaza Peace Plan halted Israel’s military campaign, which the U.N. labeled a genocide in September 2025. The deal freed Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and allowed limited aid into Gaza. But with 1.6 million still facing food insecurity and hospitals in ruins, many ask: Is this peace—or just a pause? 🕊️
Behind the Headlines
Gaza’s health system collapsed this year after 800 attacks on hospitals, while a U.N. report confirmed Israel’s actions met four genocide criteria under international law. Yet Israel insists it acted in self-defense. Meanwhile, Trump’s removal of a two-state solution clause from the deal drew sharp criticism, fueling fears of long-term instability. 💔
What’s Next?
As 2026 approaches, reconstruction seems distant. With Hamas still active and Palestinian statehood sidelined, analysts warn the ceasefire could unravel faster than a TikTok trend. Will diplomacy prevail, or is this just the calm before another storm? 🌪️
