The wording of the newly released ceasefire agreement for Gaza signals a potential end to the two-year conflict, stating explicitly that the war is over. This language sets the stage for future negotiations on the region's governance and security, even as major points of contention remain unresolved, such as the disarmament of Hamas and the extent of Israeli withdrawal. While Hamas leaders claim to have received assurances from international mediators that hostilities will not resume, the Israeli Prime Minister has not confirmed that the conflict is finished, emphasizing that force may still be used if Israel's demands are not met. The agreement leaves open questions about guarantees against renewed fighting and the path forward for implementing broader plans for Gaza.
