Hamas and Israel have completed the first phase of the phased ceasefire, but negotiations for the second phase have not yet started. Hamas insists on the release of all detained persons and Israel's withdrawal of troops as the core conditions for a permanent ceasefire, while Turkey and Egypt are promoting the ceasefire process and the establishment of a governance framework for Gaza. The United States plans to invest $500 million in building a temporary military base near Gaza, which has been firmly opposed by Hamas. The plan is accused of violating Palestinian sovereignty and escalating regional tensions. In addition, Trump sent a letter to the Israeli president calling for the pardon of Netanyahu, adding new uncertainties to the situation in the Israeli-Palestinian region. The core differences of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which has continued to escalate since 2025, remain unresolved, and the international community calls on both sides to resolve disputes through political negotiations.
