After the anticipated return of hostages held by Hamas, numerous aspects of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas remain unsettled. Key unresolved issues include the extent of Turkish involvement, the role of a Peace Council, and the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip, particularly regarding funding and beneficiaries. Questions also persist about the future living arrangements for Gazans, the verification of Hamas's disarmament, and the specifics of Israeli withdrawal from the area.

Coordination with Arab armies in the Gaza Strip and the fate of the 'last rifle' are among the other critical matters yet to be addressed. Despite these uncertainties, the process moved forward largely due to a clear American assurance that hostilities would not resume, allowing initial steps to be taken even as many details remain open.
