History

Historical Context

The October 2025 ceasefire between Israel and Hamas followed years of escalating violence, particularly after the October 2023 Hamas attack that prompted Israel's declaration of war. In 2024, over 2,000 Palestinians were reported killed, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
