Renewed Strikes in Gaza Underscore Fragile Hopes for Trump-Led Peace Plan

Israeli air and ground forces intensified strikes across the Gaza Strip over the weekend, destroying residential buildings and leaving dozens dead, according to local health officials. The escalation came even as Palestinians looked to a U.S.-brokered initiative by President Donald Trump as a potential path to end the war.

Trump announced that Israel had agreed to an “initial withdrawal line” inside Gaza, promising that a ceasefire would take effect immediately once Hamas confirmed its acceptance. Hamas has signaled openness to parts of Trump’s 20-point proposal, including a phased Israeli withdrawal and the release of hostages, but key issues—such as disarmament—remain unresolved.

Egypt is preparing to host negotiations involving Hamas, Israel, the United States, and Qatar in what is being described as the most advanced effort yet to halt the conflict. Still, many Palestinians remain skeptical. “We don’t see any change on the ground,” said Ahmed Assad, a displaced resident in central Gaza. “The explosions continue, and we don’t know what to do.”

The talks are expected to tackle unresolved questions, including the timeline for Israeli withdrawal and the future governance of Gaza. While some Israelis expressed optimism, pointing to a surge in the shekel and stock market, civilians in Gaza continue to endure bombardments and shortages of food, fuel, and medical supplies.

The coming days in Cairo may determine whether Trump’s plan can translate from political promise into tangible relief for those caught in the war’s devastation.
