The Short Answer
Yes. A ceasefire based on President Trump's 20-point peace plan took effect on October 10, 2025, and was endorsed by UN Security Council Resolution 2803. Phase one — the return of all hostages, prisoner releases and a partial Israeli pullback — is complete. Phase two, which requires Hamas to disarm before Israel withdraws further and reconstruction begins, has stalled because Hamas refuses to give up its weapons.
The plan
The plan was announced at the White House on September 29, 2025, and phase one was signed in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, on October 9. Its key terms: an immediate halt to fighting, the release of all hostages, the release of Palestinian prisoners, Israeli withdrawal to an agreed line (the "Yellow Line"), a surge of humanitarian aid, a technocratic Palestinian administration, Hamas's disarmament, and an international force to secure Gaza.
On November 17, 2025, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 2803, authorizing a Board of Peace and an International Stabilization Force for two years.
Where it stands (October 2026)
The hostage provisions were fulfilled by January 2026, and the Rafah crossing reopened in February. But Hamas has rejected the disarmament plan presented by the Board of Peace, and Israel has said it will not withdraw further until Hamas disarms. Israel continues targeted operations against what it says are Hamas weapons sites and threats near the Yellow Line, while Palestinian groups and many NGOs say these strikes violate the truce.
For Israel, the logic is simple: a ceasefire that leaves Hamas armed would only set the stage for the next October 7.
