Gaza Truce Stalls as Disarmament Dispute Blocks Progress

A year ago, a truce was meant to help stop the war in Gaza.

It helped return the remaining hostages and allowed more aid to enter.

But many parts of the plan have not happened.

Israel says Hamas must give up its weapons before Israel leaves more of Gaza.

Hamas and the Trump administration say these steps should happen together and in stages.

Israel still carries out strikes, and people have been killed on both sides since the truce began.

Plans for a new Palestinian administration and an international force have also stalled.

Many families in Gaza are still living in tents or damaged homes and do not know when they can return.
