The fragile Gaza ceasefire, now one year old, continues amid stalled implementation of the US-backed Comprehensive Plan, with Israeli forces controlling roughly two-thirds of the territory and conducting near-daily strikes that have killed over 1,400 Palestinians since October 2025. Trader focus on foreign intervention centers on the proposed International Stabilization Force (ISF), which has secured troop pledges from Indonesia, Morocco, Kazakhstan, Albania, Kosovo, and Uganda under US command but remains undeployed due to unresolved sequencing disputes: Israel demands verified Hamas disarmament and tunnel destruction before any withdrawal, while Hamas conditions heavy-weapons handover on full Israeli pullback. A UN Security Council vote on a US-drafted resolution authorizing the ISF and Board of Peace transitional governance is scheduled for October 10, 2026, coinciding with Israeli elections on October 27 that could alter negotiating dynamics. Humanitarian conditions remain dire, with reconstruction and technocratic governance also blocked.
