History

Historical Context

Israel's unilateral disengagement from Gaza in 2005 initiated a complex regional conflict, exacerbated by the 2023 Gaza War following Hamas attacks. The UN's Resolution 1860 aimed for ceasefire and humanitarian access. As of 2025, over 25 nations, including the U.S. and Indonesia, are participating in the Doha conference to stabilize Gaza, with plans for an International Stabilization Force by January 2026.
